IntelliStar 2 Videos!

[Localonthe8s]

Speaking of the Intellistar2, the Alpha STAR in NYC is still alive and kicking well. Here are some clips I took last week with the star. I don't think this STAR will stick out much for long though, they'll probably upgrade to the IS2 in a few months if they continue HD STAR testing.

IntelliStar 2 Beta, 8/26

Seems the Local Forecast Portion seen previously is back?

or it might depend on the Flavor (08/38,28/58) etc.

Thanks for providing another video! It's always nice to get updated ones of the beta, even if nothing has changed much.

Three things:

1) Does the showing of the Day Planner and Hourly Forecast depend on the flavor?

2) I guess the text on the forecast might depend on the flavor as well.

3) The radar isn't narrated. I wonder if this is a bug or supposed to be this way.

Maybe Tyler or someone else can confirm these things?

I wonder why the icons on there haven't been updated. They probably will right before it debuts for everywhere.

According to Tyler, the icons won't be updated. He says that the current icon set on the IS2 (known as the 2006 - March 2010 set) was designed "with HD in mind." Therefore, TWC will likely have two icon sets. Silly, I know, but I have to say that I like the 2006 - March 2010 set better.

According to one of Tyler's Posts the Realistic Icons set is just for the IS2 which means that they won't be updated to the current set.

Here's a clip I was able to get up. The marine forecast didn't show up here because of all the bad weather, but I hope you guys enjoy!

Ugh, sorry. I don't know how to embed videos here properly.

Ugh, sorry. I don't know how to embed videos here properly. 

Paste the normal link 

Btw i thought you had a tuner?

[Eric]

Oh, I am jealous!

[twcfan68]

Thanks, Zach! Wow, I am so naïve.

I do have a tuner, but I didn't bring it with me. And whenever I try to record something in HD, it turns black and white for some reason.

Thanks so much for posting! I would love to see a shot of the marine forecast if you ever get a chance to snap a shot of it. I really appreciate you posting this and keeping us updated

[Tyler]

Thanks for posting! I too would love to see the marine forecast if you get a chance!

As for the questions... yes as previously mentioned this set of icons is the set that's going to be used on the IntelliStar 2. And the flavors do depend on if what version of the hourly and text forecasts are shown. The idea was to have a bigger variety of products.

Forgot to check to see if the HD star was live at my dad's house. I'll check this weekend.

Thank you for answering these questions, Tyler!

And thank you very much for posting a video of the IS 2 in your city, Christina! It's definetely nice to see a video of it in action in another part of the country.

No problem! I'll be in Lafayette for a few more days, and I think my grandparents' DVD player is a recorder too, so I might be able to get a clip in better quality. I plan on uploading another clip with the marine forecast up also. I'm surprised that the HD STAR wound up in the middle of Louisiana so early. I really wasn't expecting that at all, so that sure was an awesome surprise to see.
