that's sad, for companies like comcast and verizon to boast they both have the best fiber-optic networks that they can't even have the IS2 before others like Cox, Time Warner, Smaller Cable Co's

i just hope one of the issues isn't bandwidth.

Comcast and Verizon could probably care less about the IntelliStar 2.

I've seen it in the past few days. Not sure why you aren't seeing it Mike.

I should have mentioned we've had record highs here... that might be why I'm not seeing it.

Probably. The priority of the record screen probably supersedes the heat safety screen.

Are any Verizon FiOS VHOs testing the IntelliStar 2?

No.

How come?

Same reason Comcast doesn't have them. Still working out issues...

It was never discontinued. The product is triggered differently in all areas based on what is considered to be an "extreme" heat index. For example, the screen may be triggered at 102 here in Pittsburgh, but that threshold may be higher in New York City, and lower in Seattle.

is the IS2 going to have an 8-City current condition page like on the Intellistar?

No.

Saw a construction worker creeping behind Vivian today during Day Planner. I don't think he knew they were live on TV.

Update on Xfinity

Xfinity has been slow to get HD stars.  They are still in a testing phase.  A few more should be turned on in Atlanta soon.  No idea about when a larger deployment for them will happen.

weird how i only live 18 miles southeast of Providence and my area doesn't even have it

Comcast has very few HD STARs. So why are you surprised that you don't have it? Let alone that you live in Providence, market #34, when Comcast headends in markets #1-33 don't have it yet.

I've been tuning into Channel 847 TWC lHDl the past 3 days and some Xfinity Commercials have been appearing alot lately, i don't know if it has something to do with the Intellistar 2 coming to the Boston Area but i will post any new updates if i see any changes.

The commercials have nothing to do with an IntelliStar 2 installation.

Hate to break it to you, but them rebranding to Xfinity has nothing to do with your DTAs not working.
