I'm not doubting you or anything, but where's your source?

Source is Weatheraffiliate.com. TWCs affiliates are all registered on here.

I wonder if TWC is also planning to do something with the legacy STARs (4000, XL, Junior) or if they are just gonna leave those STAR units alone  :thinking:
I'm banking that they'll be left alone. They made no mention of legacy units, and it wouldn't really make much sense anymore as they are already so "stripped down" as it is...

*Bump*

Are the IS/IS2 updates still being planned in two months?

I think Martin said somewhere around here that they were delaying it slightly.

Considering what little importance TWC places on the local forecasts these days, I'm very surprised that they're even contemplating any major updates... unless, of course, it's to combine more information into an even shorter period of time.

Given the fewer and Shorter LFs it probably makes sense to not update any of the products for the time being

Hopefully there is a reason why the update is delayed

Probably just bugs and sorts, just like why any other software upgrade would be delayed.

That topic has been taken off of weatheraffiliate.com. Either the update has been delayed, or has been cancelled. Hopefully the latter, since the IntelliStar graphics are fine just they way they are. We wouldn't want the IS's to be too graphics to be too "high tech"/cluttered.

It's way too cluttered as it is. I was excited for this update, since the IS was desperately in need of it in my opinion. Oh well. I'm pretty sure it was cancelled.

Couldn't disagree more. I get your argument about not wanting the IS to be cluttered, I don't either, but I'm baffled about not wanting it to be high tech. That's exactly what it should be and it never has been imo. :no: Looking back, it seems like most of the IS's hype-factor was all because of that crappy HiRAD technology (and the discontinued traffic products) which varies from being OK to downright terrible. I remember some of the complaints about the IS2 was how they made a lot of the animations/transitions all overly fancy and whatnot, we live in a superficial world filled with millions of extremely short attention spans and that's what they like to see.

Bummer  :(  I was kinda looking forward to the IS graphical updates. I always thought the current IS graphics looked okay anyway, even though they've been around for over five years now  :P
