Hmmmm.....Knoxville, Nashville, and now Jackso---- WAIT...THIS MEANS THAT MEMPHIS IS NEXT IN LINE!!!!!!!!!  :dance:  :dance:  :dance:  :dance:  :dance:  :dance: OMG
Who said anything about Knoxville? And there is no particular order as to how or where they are going live - so Memphis isn't next.

I meant Murfreesboro, and it looked as though they were starting in Central Tennessee and moving their way to the West....it was just a guess.  :dunno:

Atlanta obviously doesn't surprise me. In fact, I'm surprised these BETA testings don't start in Atlanta. Do they want to try different US cities to avoid favoritism or the same view from the same city all the time. :unsure:

I don't think there's really a need to test it here when most cable subscribers here are with Comcast who has yet to add TWCHD except for only in the suburban towns like Marietta.

I'm also surprised they didn't launch the istar2 in NYC, after all they launched their own alpha HD Star.

A second STAR is now live in Jackson, TN.
Where did you find out?
Trust me when I say this... if Tyler says something its true ;)

I'm pretty sure TWC starts with the markets that have the most HD service available, which is why they may have started with Nashville first.

That doesn't many any sense at all. Why would it matter?

Like martin said it will most likely be random, TWC must notify the next Headend in line which is what probably happened to Jackson, TN

I don't really expect this to launch in the next couple of months.
