BVI Cable TV has launched its digital cable network and is asking customers to turn in their analog cable boxes for ones that receive the new digital signal.
The digital network, which became available on Dec. 24, will require customers to use the new boxes, the company announced in a Dec. 29 press release.
During the transition to the digital system, cable customers with analog boxes will still be able to watch television — but only until March 1, when the analog service will be discontinued, according to the company.
The digital service will bring some 75 new channels, better sound and picture quality, and the option of pay-per-view channels, according to BVI Cable TV.
Customers should visit the company’s Fish Lock Road offices Monday through Friday from 8:15 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. or Saturday between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. in order to swap their cable boxes, the release stated.
