- What is Digital Cable?
Digital Cable delivers a digital signal to your home with a reliable fiber optic network. Digital Cable provides digital pictures, CD-quality sound, on demand services, digital music and access to a greater variety of channels on your existing television. There are no expensive satellite dishes or antennas to buy.
- Explain how Digital Cable is different from satellite and wireless services?
With Bright House Networks Digital Cable, you are not required to sign a service contract or purchase expensive satellite dishes or antennas. We won't cut down trees to secure line of sight, and our signal is not subject to rain fade whereas satellite and wireless service may experience interruptions. Only Bright House Networks Digital Cable gives you access to Premium movie channels (more than any satellite service) plus on demand services, which allow you to start programs when you want, and pause, fast forward and rewind them with the Digital Remote. Bright House Networks Digital Cable customers receive over 75 channels of free Standard Cable including several local channels on all additional outlets at no additional cost.
