No, but the newer ones tend to have more deficiencies than the old ones.

Maybe they're making some sort of changes to some IS2s whatever that may be. Seems kinda odd so many are unavailable or intermittently unavailable. That's just my theory.

That has nothing to do with age. I would also double-check and see if your IS2 is out (ie no ID, no LF but national, and no local LDL), because based on a lot of posts as of late, IS2s nationwide seem to be out.

Also, My Farmingdale IS2 rarely ever had problems. Ever since it changed to the Islip IS2, there have been so many problems.

Are you sure that Islip isn't just your backup reporting station? I find it wasteful to buy an IS2 only to have it merged with another one months later...

His IS originally reported from Islip, so it would make sense to use an Islip IS2 rather than Farmingdale, which is rather far from Islip..

Correct, plus Cablevision has several headends scattered throughout long Island so it's very possible to have seperate IS2s for these seperate headends.

Our IS and IS2 have both been, and continue to be, functioning just fine.

The IS2 is very glitchy for my area. Being such a relatively new system I think its normal for some units to have complications.

So since my Intellistar 2 is out and I am not the only one I should expect it to come back soon. Anyone findout why it all of a sudden disappeared from multiple providers systems? I thought it was due to Time Warner doing equipment installation for SDV changes at the headend and them having to move the IS2.

Seeing how the IS2 had made its debut on a Comcast system in Atlanta, any word on when it will debut in other markets yet?

No current ETA. And with Comcast, it's headend by headend as to whether or not there will be technical difficulties installing the I2HD (like why it hasn't come to other cable companies).

More bad news. A couple days ago, the Islip IS2 had problems and was displaying the national LF. Now, I am now receiving a IS2 feed all the way from NYC. I am really pissed at this :furious:. Time to take action :club:, this time I'm serious.
