From the Raleigh News & Observer:
Time Warner Cable is notifying customers that they are going “all digital” and that special digital equipment will soon be required to view any channels – and with the new equipment will eventually come new charges.
Customers who have the “Starter TV” package (an inexpensive plan that provides network channels like ABC, NBC, CBS and PBS, plus a handful of cable channels, like CSPAN and TBS) or any customers plugging a cable directly into a TV, VCR or DVD recorder (Preferred customers with “extra” or “secondary” TVs receiving cable directly) will be affected.
There may be other effects as well if you have an unusual television viewing setup. The move to all digital happens May 5 in Raleigh with customers just getting a letter about the change this week. Expect the switch to happen sooner rather than later here in Charlotte as well.
