I have Cox here in Pensacola, FL, and they upgraded to the IntelliSTAR right when it came out in March 2004. :yes:

I can't imagine why anyone would actually WANT the IS. If I had the XL I'd hope they WOULDN'T upgrade.  :D

Yeah, believe us, you DO NOT want the IntelliSTAR. Your very lucky. BTW, I thought Cox  had an agreement with TWC
to only use the IntelliSTAR platform, just as TimeWarner and Comcast do. :huh:

I had no idea cable companies could enter into such agreements. I thought they were always free to decide for themselves which STAR they preferred to use.  :o

They are, but Comcast and Time Warner have agreements with TWC to only use IntelliSTARs. I thought Cox did too, but apparantly not.

You'd have to be carzy if you would want an XL to be replaced by an IntelliStar. :D

BTW, travisallen, would it be possible to get any screenshots and/or videos of your XL?

I *think* I remember reading that somewhere, but I'm not sure. I do know Cox upgraded my system rather quickly, as we got the IS sometime in early March 04 or late Feburary. :yes:

I'd love to have a WeatherStar XL! Does anyone know where else a WeatherStar XL, 4000 and/or Jr, is used today? Boy I hate the IS!Just one question, if Comcast had an agreement with TWC to use the IS then why do some areas such as Burlington, VT still have an XL? :-\
