Q.
HOW DO I GET HARD TV? |
|
A. If you do not have digital TV
service yet, call your local cable or satellite provider
to get connected with digital, and subscribe to HARDtv. |
| |
|
Q.
WHAT IS DIGITAL? |
|
A. Digital is a new way of
broadcasting television signals. Since there is no
longer any space available for new channels on the
current Analog cable system, Digital service is being
introduced to allow room for new programming to be
offered on TV. More choice means you can have your
HARDtv. |
| |
|
Q.
WILL SUBSCRIBING TO DIGITAL AFFECT MY CURRENT CABLE
PROGRAMMING SERVICES? |
|
A. Not at all. When you subscribe
to Digital, you still have access to all your existing
cable programming. The only difference is that you now
have access to new programming available only on
Digital, like HARDtv. |
| |
|
Q.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DIGITAL CABLE AND
SATELLITE SERVICES? |
|
A. Digital Cable means you can
rent, and in some cases purchase, a digital terminal
(which looks very much like a VCR) to add to your
existing home entertainment unit. This Digital terminal
gives you the opportunity to subscribe to new channels
only available on Digital, like HARDtv. Satellite
customers¹ purchase the dish, which can either be self
installed or installed by the provider on the west side
of your home. The dish allows you to subscribe to new
digital channels, like HARDtv. |
| |
|
Q.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST? |
|
A. For purchase options for your
specific area please visit our
subscription
Canadian map and simply click on your region to
learn about your potential Digital provider. |
| |
|
|
|
Q.
DO I HAVE TO BUY A DIGITAL TV TO RECEIVE DIGITAL
SERVICE? |
|
A. Not at all. Digital cable and
Satellite work on the existing TV you already own. In
fact, digital service enhances the quality of both the
picture and the sound. |
| |
|
Q.
CAN I PICK AND CHOOSE MY DIGITAL CHANNELS? |
|
A. One of the best features of
Digital service is that you can create your own personal
package, select a theme package, or for the best value,
you have the option of choosing only one channel, if
that is all you are interested in subscribing to, like
HARDtv. |
| |
|
Q.
IF I PURCHASE DIGITAL
CABLE DO I NEED A SEPARATE DIGITAL TERMINAL FOR EVERY
OUTLET? |
|
A. Yes, a separate Digital
Terminal is required on each TV outlet if you would like
to view Digital programming on different TV sets.
However, there is no charge for additional programming
on different TV sets. In addition, you will continue to
receive your regular Analog Cable TV channels on TV
outlets that do not have a Digital Terminal hooked up. |
| |
|
Q.
WHY SHOULD I SWITCH TO DIGITAL SERVICE? |
|
A. Because HARDtv is only
available through Digital service, you won't want to
miss out on our unique programming. As the first GLBT
television network in the world, we invite you to take
part in this historical big step. We can't do it without
your support! HARDtv: The New Voice of Our Community. |
