Cablevision sent the following email to their analog subscribers today, announcing that SpikeTV, which carries TNA Impact will be moved to their digital tier:
Cablevision carries virtually all of the programming it offers in digital
format. Beginning Thursday, April 30 and continuing through Tuesday, May 19,
2009, the duplicate analog feeds of certain Family Cable channels are being
eliminated. These channels include ABC Family, AMC, BET, C-SPAN, CNN Headline
News, Fuse, Galavision, History, Lifetime, MSNBC, MTV, MTV2, Spike TV, TV Land
VH1 and WE. Once the analog feeds are eliminated, a digital cable box and iO
Navigation (or a CableCARD) will be required in order to continue receiving the
affected Family Cable channels.
At the same time, the duplicate analog feeds of C-SPAN, which is part of the
Broadcast Basic package will also be removed in certain areas. Once the analog
feeds are eliminated, a digital cable box and iO Navigation (or a CableCARD or
QAM tuner) will be required in order to continue receiving C-SPAN.
Customers in the Bronx and Brooklyn, Newark/Elizabeth, Hudson and Paterson
service areas are not affected by this initiative because the duplicate analog
feeds of the Family Cable channels have already been removed.
Additional Background Information
The elimination of the analog feeds of these services will allow Cablevision to
offer more programming, particularly more free high definition programming and
interactive services.
In order to ease the transition, residential customers who do not have a digital
cable box or a CableCARD will be offered a digital cable box and iO Navigation
for one year free.
