LuAnne Hodge, Vice President and General Manager of BVI Cable TV stated, “We are so pleased to announce that BVI Cable TV is going digital –and once completed- will allow us to offer more than 75 new channels. When we begin the conversion, it will be necessary that our subscribers visit the Business Office at #27 Fishlock Road to exchange their analog converter(s) in order to continue receiving service.”

Hodge said specific schedules will be forthcoming. “To provide our customers the opportunity to gradually transition to the digital platform and to accommodate the change to the new digital platform, we will simulcast the analog channels from December 10, 2012 until March 1, 2013. Thereafter, we will cease transmission of the analog channels and the Pioneer converters will no longer receive the signal.”

Why is Digital better than Analog service? Digital cable TV offers many improvements over
Analog service!

· Better picture quality
· Many more channels due to greater bandwidth because of the digital compression new
  channels will be added to the channel line-up by spring 2013
· Better sound
· Interactive digital program guide
· Pay- Per- View channels will be added to the channel line-up by spring 2013
· Parental Access and much more…

Customers are encouraged to stay tuned to all media sources, as the aforementioned schedule will be published in print and online newspapers, on the radio and on BVI Cable TV’s Community Channel (Channel 2).

Information about the swap process will also be included on BVI Cable TV’s website: www.innovativevi.net/bvicable.

“On behalf of the management and staff of BVI Cable TV, we thank you for your patronage and support over the years. We look forward to offering you best entertainment value in the British Virgin
Islands. Stay tuned in the coming weeks for area schedule listings and additional information
about this exciting upgrade,” Hodge concluded.
