The Intellistar 2 is new and the design team is still working out bugs. That is why they are only in beta stage. If this is not a bug, then it appears to be damaged hardware or graphical corruption.

Zeak we appreciate you posting the problem! The STAR team is working hard to address many of the errors associated with the new IS2. Hopefully they will be able to resolve the problem :)

From the looks of it, the Star looks to be recently installed.

I also want to point out that its not just the local on the 8s that glitches even during programming you can see it on the ldl (i think that is what you call the local weather on the bottom of the screen correct me if I'm wrong) this includes the brief green screen its quite annoying while trying to watch.

It was installed back sometime in November.

Thanks for your responses so far  :happy:

That system was rebooted finally.  Can you watch it and let us know if the flashing has continued?

How long did it stay in the green tint?  I have never heard of this before.

Ive seen it like this for maybe about 24 hours or more. I am guessing its whenever my cable provider finds out and reboots the is2? (I'm taking a guess that's what happens)  As far as the tint currently its still their as of this posting what you see in the pic is all you see. Thank you for any help  :happy:
