IntelliStar 2 Beta Launch

[Eric]

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 . Time to take action , this time I'm serious.

Why are you getting upset?  Problems like this can be fixed.  They can't be fixed until they're reported, and a fix isn't going to be instantaneous.  Please be patient, and things will be working normally again as soon as the problem can be taken care of.

You don't understand. Your local weather ID doesn't change every 2 weeks. That is why I said I'm going to take action. I do report these problems, and you know what happens?, the problem reoccurs later again. You don't understand so don't tell me to be patient, I've had enough.

You catch more flies with honey than you do with vinegar, and if you start insulting those who are going to be helping you, I'll report your posts to the forum administration.  The Star team is here as a HUGE favor to us; they have no obligation to be here, and they have to requirement to stay.  Treating them badly is the ABSOLUTE LAST thing I want to see happen.

I apologize. It's that I'm really not happy with this.

You simply need to show more patience here.  What if the STAR at your headend suffered major problems to where it had to be shipped back for replacement and they're simply showing another IS2 temporarily until it's all fixed?  Furthermore, what if your headend consolidated with another one, which would prompt a change in coverage to where they need to change the STAR?  You don't know what happened here, so it's better to not vent out all your anger and frustration upon people that may be doing their job just fine based on the circumstances.

Wow, yes it is. If anything, it should be using the Farmingdale IS2, unless if they taken that one down. That may be the reason why it switched from Farmingdale to Islip. A lot of strange things have been going on around here.

Would any of our helpful sources of information (i.e. Martin, Tyler, Jesse) know what the deal with the massive outages of IS2s is? I can't really imagine all of them disappearing coincidentally like this. Obviously there has to be some reason, and it would be nice if we could know so that speculations causing conflicts like the one above can be eliminated.

About a month after we got our IS2 last December we were suddenly getting the Manhattan, KS IS2. That lasted about 2 weeks before we got Topeka back.  Sometimes there's issues with purchasing the units, or there's unexpected problems. I think ours needed to be replaced for whatever reason and they switched us over to the Manhattan unit so we wouldn't be completely without.

Yes, we are supposed to be getting Farmingdale's feed. Must be an issue with this IS2 as well, but I didn't catch the ID #

I don't know. I was at a party over at Syosset on Satruday, and that config was what I found on that person's TWC feed. I asked him if he really gets Islip conditions..and he told me no, he gets Farmingdale's..

The hd local forecast is back here in Louisville came back sometime this morning

[Evan2015]

Confirmed, Jackson, MS has an IS2. ID: unknown at this time.

A trend: For every new IS2 that is installed, another one must be discontinued.
