Can I have Digital Cable connected to more than one TV set?

Yes, however, a separate receiver and remote is required for each television you wish to connect. Additional receivers are available for an additional monthly charge; no standard discount is applied to any additional receivers.

 
Is Digital Cable the same as High Definition TV (HDTV)?
No, HDTV is a specific kind of digital signal format that requires a special television set. In addition, HDTV-ready television sets may require a Broadstripe HDTV decoder box to enable the set to display an HDTV signal. On the other hand, Broadstripe Digital Cable works on the television you already own, so there's no expensive equipment to buy.

Broadstripe Digital Cable is a convenient and affordable alternative to the services offered by satellite TV providers. With Digital Cable, it's all there for you: all the entertainment, information, pay-per-view and digital music you want - right through the cable service you already have. Broadstripe's Digital Cable offers the following advantages over satellite providers:

  • No costly equipment to buy and maintain.
  • Professional installation at a low cost, without any unsightly equipment.
  • Local channels included at no extra cost.
  • No need to purchase expensive equipment in order to watch different programming on separate televisions sets at the same time. Cable-ready television sets can view our Expanded Basic cable service (Satellite Service Tier) without additional equipment or cost.
