To me, it seems like it's very unstable or some of the units are defective. Think of it like Microsoft deciding that instead of building Windows 7 on top of Vista that they would start from scratch and use no code from Vista. The hardware and software are completely new here. Not to mention this is the first product of its kind to do this in HD. With the XL and IS at least there were some similarities. I would imagine the XL and first IS versions were just as problematicAnd if I recall, Frank Batten mentioned the numerous headaches and "growing pains" with the XL. Just give them some time to work it out, guys.

My IS2 is back, but it is cueing late, the LDL is on during the commercials and there are absolutely no narrations. They probably did a reboot or they installed a new unit.
...and now we're getting the Precip screen, too.
Hi Martin, We're particularly proud of that one. The design alone took forever and the programming on it to make the data flow correctly was a nightmare! But it works and I love seeing it in action!!! Too bad I'm not in a coastal area. Also the Marine forecast screen is pretty cool too. Has anyone seen that one yet?
Can anyone provide a screenshot of the beach screen that was talked about here? Quote from: spasticlizard on August 12, 2011, 10:22:46 AMHi Martin, We're particularly proud of that one.

The screen occurs at :46 in the video, and it's not considered a "beach forecast" but a "marine forecast." I don't think a beach/getaway forecast exists on the IS2.TWC HD Intellistar on 11/1/11 #2Video Courtesy of MrDaniel789
