You just made my night. I haven't ever been able to find where they post that stuff though. I knew they had to inform them of that stuff, just wasn't sure where. Thank you! Happy birthday to me, I guess... we get it two days before my birthday.

County Commission Agendas can be seen at: http://www.snco.us/commission/agendas.asp

You will have to let me/us know if Topeka does get an HD Star.

I wonder what the first graphical update after the rollout of the IS2 would be like. Maybe new graphics, like a new background.

I'm guessing there won't be any updates in that department for a long time.   I'm pretty sure their main concern is getting companies to purchase the units while they attempt to get the bugs ironed out (which there is a plethora of to this day).   That would be my guess.

There are so many technical issues at the headends that some headends may never get the HD STAR.
What kind of technical issues? Is this why Comcast in Philly doesn't have the HD STAR yet?

No, that's not what I mean. I don't mean a graphical update right when it's launched, but a few years later, like when the XL received its first major graphical update in 2001 and the IS getting its first major graphics update in 2007 (not counting the changes in 2005).

Sorry for the double post.

Is the IS2 in NYC an actual STAR at the NYC Cablevision headend or just TWC's feed?

It's just a feed coming from TWC, IIRC.

Intellistar 2 just activated in Topeka. Data not available for anything so it JUST came on in the last 5 minutes. Will take video when it loads.

Can't wait to see the IS2! I wonder what the IS2 looks like with no data. You should get clips of that if you can.

I'll go back on my DVR and record the first time it came on with no to little data and then the full lower bar and total local forecasts. I'm recording it for hours so I'll get as much as I can.  Just sucks 'cause I'll have to do it with my iPhone video and upload it so it's gonna be shakey. :(

Quality shouldn't matter, Congrats on your area getting the IS2
