We’re still working on that technology with Comcast. While we don’t have a date of when that will occur, know that we’re working hard on it!

Well, at least that's better than nothing!  Kudos to TWC for trying, though I have to wonder just how interested Comcast is in making this anything close to a "priority."

Uploading a video of the LOT8's with the ad scroll to YouTube now. Will post a link in the IS2 Videos forum when it's done uploading.

The IS2 has an ad scroll? This is new!

TWC really should go by the NWS color codes for the watch/warning/advisory scroll. The IS2 is showing Special Weather Statements in red, along with just about everything else like Winter Weather Advisories. I just don't see an advisory warranting the color red.

I agree with you.  Hopefully this is on the list for further programming changes.  I personally couldn't get used to a simple weather statement in red.  It just doesn't "jive."

I did some asking around, and the crawls are actually orange, just a very dark orange. I agree with you, as I couldn't personally tell the difference until after they mentioned it. My only suggestion is to open a support topic and mention that on tv, it's very hard to distinguish the red/orange crawls, and maybe the issue will make it up to the right people.

Since the IS2 is most likely going to be regional based, shouldn't Fall River/New Bedford get the Providence Area Star?

Depends on how the headend is wired and how they select which areas get what feeds.

If the Pittsburgh FiOS head-end does get the IStar 2, does that mean they might select the same areas as on the IStar?

Our towns around Topeka that are shown on IS & IS2 are different. Don't know if it's like that everywhere.

Also, is anybody with IS2 having a lot of cueing issues? Ours isn't cueing at all a lot, and when it does it tends to be a little behind. We get the national LDL and LOT8's a lot lately.

I havn't really seen any discussion on this, but will or does the IS2 have Air Quality reports? or Weekend Getaway forecasts?
