Cable TV Channel Lineup Change
Duplicate standard definition channels to be removed on Tuesday, June 11
A cable TV channel lineup change is coming soon, but you can rest assured that this change will have minimal impact on your TV service.
For many years, we offered channels in both standard definition and high definition to accommodate the different televisions in customers’ homes. For example, ABC-KSFY airs on channels 9 and 309, and ESPN appears on channels 22 and 322.
Because most customers have upgraded to high-definition televisions, we no longer need two separate video feeds of the same channel. On Tuesday, June 11, we’ll be removing the duplicate standard definition channels, and they’ll no longer appear in the onscreen channel guide. For your convenience, we’ve included a link to your new channel lineup.
You won’t lose any programming because of this change. Plus, removing the duplicate channels won’t impact your series recordings. For example, if you set up a series recording for Yellowstone on Paramount Network’s channel 46, we’ll automatically transition your recording settings to Paramount Network on channel 346.
Our board of directors and management decided last month to forgo a price increase this summer. Instead, we’re focusing heavily on increasing operational efficiencies. Removing duplicate channels will help us responsibly manage the servers that store your Cloud DVR recordings because we’ll no longer have duplicate copies of the same program. Purchasing additional servers is expensive and increases costs for our customers.
Additionally, your channel lineup will align with our new AllStream channel lineup. Alliance began offering our AllStream TV service about one year ago, and it allows you to watch your TV service on mobile, Apple TV, and Amazon Fire TV devices. AllStream is a great alternative to cable TV set-top boxes/DVRs because you can watch five streams simultaneously for only $12/month.
If you have questions, call 611 from any phone with Alliance service or (605) 582-6311.
