Thanks for the update!  I've heard nothing about this, but I'm glad you have!  I'll certainly keep my eyes out for it.  I'll be very glad to have the HD feed again, but it would be even nicer if I'd get to see the IS2 in use, too.  Comcast in Massachusetts had HD but no IS2.

Just found out that the IS2 doesn't narrate "Martin Luther King Jr. Birthday", instead Jim just says, "Our local forecast".

It didn't last year, either.

Just wondering, does anyone know the name of the font that is used on the IS2 LF's? It's not Arial like I thought.

The font used for the temps on the metro map section and the STAR ID/Channel Number/Cable co. (if text is present in lieu of logo on ID screen) is called Handel Gothic (or Hanzel for short). All other fonts are variable weights of Helvetica Neue.

Thanks for frequently posting IS2 videos!  I tend to look on YouTube frequently to see if you have posted new ones.  They are fantastic quality, too. :biggrin:

The last 3-4 days here on insight cable in Louisville, KY there has only been the national feed on local on the 8's. Is it just here or nationwide?

I would open a thread in the STAR Support form here if thats the case.. just be sure to include location, STAR ID, and cable provider :)

I think that IS2 may be coming from the Cox provider in Roanoke.  I don't see anything as I'm on the Comcast provider in Blacksburg.
