This is a tentative schedule of when programs are moving from basic cable without a cable box, to the cable box environment. Due to the FCC orders regarding the clearing/consolidating of the lower 300 MHz of C-Band satellite frequencies and associated hardware changes. Also in addition to new requirements from content owners to move video feeds to a encrypted format. The change to a set top box delivery for your content has become necessary. We have been using this platform for delivery of our Expanded cable packages along with services like Cinemax, HBO, Showtime and Stars/Encore. The cable box environment provides a interactive guild and the additional options such as DVR services.

On September 30th we began the process of transitioning services. Below is a schedule of what services are move when. While this timetable is not set in stone due to scheduling with the content providers, satellite down link controller schedules and our headend staffs schedules. This is a close time table and will be adjusted as needed.
