I meant to post this earlier, but over a month ago, we finally got HD service, and thus, TWC HD. I was a little surprised to find, when I turned to TWC HD, that we had the IS2! :D Not sure how long we've had it, though, seeing as I just got HD service.

I'm impressed by the IS2 so far. B) I'll try to get a video of mine up as soon as I am able to.
That's probably the first IS2 in Florida! :o

Update on Xfinity

Quote
Xfinity has been slow to get HD stars.  They are still in a testing phase.  A few more should be turned on in Atlanta soon.  No idea about when a larger deployment for them will happen.

weird how i only live 18 miles southeast of Providence and my area doesn't even have it :(
Comcast has very few HD STARs. So why are you surprised that you don't have it? Let alone that you live in Providence, market #34, when Comcast headends in markets #1-33 don't have it yet.

I'm surprised i don't have it because all these small area's get the IS2 so easily and all the big metros have to wait over 1-2 years to even acquire it.

the biggest reason im surprised is Providence got the IS2 right when they got TWC lHDl added to their system and my area got the channel in April 2010 with still nothing to be seen...

Edit: also forgot to mention Boston's had TWC lHDl Since 2007 and still hasn't seen anything either.

is the IS2 going to have an 8-City current condition page like on the Intellistar?

No.

That doesn't surprise me.  This is just a carryover from the "Latest Observations" page from as far back as the WeatherStar III, as a way to show current conditions throughout the region but before the capability existed for a map.  Honestly, I'm surprised that this product survived as long as it has!

Same reason Comcast doesn't have them. Still working out issues...

that's sad, for companies like comcast and verizon to boast they both have the best fiber-optic networks that they can't even have the IS2 before others like Cox, Time Warner, Smaller Cable Co's

i just hope one of the issues isn't bandwidth.

Comcast and Verizon could probably care less about the IntelliStar 2.

There's a lot of stuff they could care less about.  Customer satisfaction, for example.  :)
