A trend: For every new IS2 that is installed, another one must be discontinued.

I agree 100%

Syosset, NY Cablevision is using the Intellistar 2 for Islip...isn't syosset a bit far from islip?

Wow, yes it is. If anything, it should be using the Farmingdale IS2, unless if they taken that one down. That may be the reason why it switched from Farmingdale to Islip. A lot of strange things have been going on around here.

Yes, we are supposed to be getting Farmingdale's feed. Must be an issue with this IS2 as well, but I didn't catch the ID #

Which ID are you looking for?

More bad news. A couple days ago, the Islip IS2 had problems and was displaying the national LF. Now, I am now receiving a IS2 feed all the way from NYC. I am really pissed at this . Time to take action , this time I'm serious.

Why are you getting upset?  Problems like this can be fixed.  They can't be fixed until they're reported, and a fix isn't going to be instantaneous.  Please be patient, and things will be working normally again as soon as the problem can be taken care of.

You don't understand. Your local weather ID doesn't change every 2 weeks. That is why I said I'm going to take action. I do report these problems, and you know what happens?, the problem reoccurs later again. You don't understand so don't tell me to be patient, I've had enough.

I'm glad they waited until after severe weather season.

I'm guessing that's sarcasm right?

That has nothing to do with age. I would also double-check and see if your IS2 is out (ie no ID, no LF but national, and no local LDL), because based on a lot of posts as of late, IS2s nationwide seem to be out.

Also, My Farmingdale IS2 rarely ever had problems. Ever since it changed to the Islip IS2, there have been so many problems.
