New Intellistar version?
« on: May 22, 2010, 01:53:04 PM »
Are there plans for a new intellistar version to be launched seeing now that the LDL, and icons were updated and the launch of the HD Star soon?

I think I can safely say there will be no significant software updates to the current hardware version of the Intellistar anytime soon if ever

well it's been nearly 3 years since the v3 update. The v3 was launched after the 2005 v2 update

Just because its been X years doesn't mean they are going to update it. The Intellistar1 probably saw its last major update with the ldl changes.

But I thought the IS was going to have a graphics change last year or this spring?

It did. The LDL was  the graphics change

Well it should've been more specific...as the majority thought it was the hardware

What do you mean specific? There was never even a rumor of new hardware so that is news to me. However like I said, the current hardware version of the Intellistar now, probably has seen the last of its significant updates

This is off topic, but what's been with all the IS outages recently? :dunno: And could the Satellite ISs be effected? :unsure:
I've gone off on a journey to be a moderator at another forum, but this place will forever remain home for me~

The reason I was saying was because the other updates liek the LDL and icons happened in short timing of the previous updates. I figured the Intellistar would've gotten one too. It seems that the IS could use another graphics overhaul anyways but that may just be me

My IntelliStar has been fine, but I noticed a lot of others being out.
