IntelliStar 2 Beta Launch

It's not that they are avoiding Comcast, its just a compatibility issues. Sorry, but I can't really get into it.

Can you at least give us an approximate timeline?

There is no timeline.

Okay... is there at least any guarantee that there will be a nationwide rollout of IS2, or is it likely, or at least possible, that some headends will simply never get one (or be able to use one, thus precluding getting one)?

Simply from his statement earlier it's a Headend to Headend Basis, so think of it as those areas who really need one would get one (if there are no obstacles blocking that installment) in which Comcast's Cable Network is from to my knowledge "Incompatible with the IS2 at this time" which halts a Installation on any Comcast HD headend altogether for the present time.

Here are a few videos!  First, my IS2 had radar data issues again until the STAR Team fixed it again along with an interesting error dealing with the forecast.  Second, for those of you wondering what it sounds like below zero, enjoy the second video!  It was brisk that night.

So, in other words, any individual TWC HD viewer may or may not eventually get the IS2, and Comcast viewers will probably have to wait the longest before it comes... if it ever does eventually come.

Fail.

is there anyway we can make a list of the cities that have received the IS2 in one topic?

i haven't had a chance to check out TWCHD in either San Angelo or San Antonio.

Here in San Angelo, I have Suddenlink...dunno if we'll ever get it. in San Antonio, I have time warner...based off of what I've read none of the time warner headends have upgraded yet, someone correct me if I'm wrong.

i'll definitely be checking in on TWCHD here in Angelo within the next couple of days (haven't gotten a chance to check since like last semester, lol).

Watch it come to the end of 2011 and we will still be talking about Comcast not having the IS2

Your conflicting yourself in the same post. Nobody said the entire Comcast network was not compatible with the IS2. Just certain headends

Sorry for my bad grammar skills 

I was trying to say that might've been the reason (my opinion)

Lol its cool it just made my head spin for a minute From what i heard its just on a headend to headend basis regardless of company.

Hopefully this Compatibility issue gets fixed really soon, i wonder what cause it in the first place.

Wichita, KS has IS2 as well. More cities in KS do with Cox, just not for sure which.
