BVI Cable TV will begin the process of swapping customers’ analog boxes to digital converters on December 10, 2012. From December 10, 2012 to March 1, 2013, customers are encouraged to visit the Business Office at #27 Fishlock Road to upgrade their service to digital. The 90-day swap period is essential for customers to be processed in an orderly fashion.

During that transition period, the signal for most channels will be simulcast in both analog and digital to ensure that customers can continue to enjoy Cable TV. Customers with a digital converter will be able to view the aforementioned eight channels that will be removed from the analog lineup on November 9, 2012.

Luanne Hodge, Vice President and General Manager of BVI Cable TV stated, “We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause our customers, however, we are very pleased with our progress to date as we prepare for our digital launch.”
