Yesterday I received this from Time Warner:
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON THE DTV TRANSITION:
On February 17, 2009, full-power TV stations will stop broadcasting in analog and switch to 100% digital broadcasting. For more information, contact Time Warner Cable at 1.800.TWCABLE or visit www.DTV.gov. As a Time Warner Cable customer, your TVs connected to cable will continue to display [the same/full-power/broadcast] stations. However, analog-only TVs that receive those stations via an antenna won't display them after 2/17/09 unless you take action. (Those TVs should continue to display low-power, Class-A and translator TV stations and work with gaming consoles, VCRs, DVD players, etc.) One option: Contact Time Warner Cable at 1.800.TWCABLE to have those TVs connected to cable. (Installation fees may apply.) Other options: replace those TVs or buy converter boxes that will allow them to display DTV signals. The NTIA will provide up to two $40 coupons per household for the purchase of such boxes. For information, visit www.dtv2009.gov or call 888-DTV-2009.
NOTE: Federal Communications Commission rules require Time Warner Cable to provide notice of the full-power DTV transition to its subscribers in monthly bills or billing notices through March 2009. As an online bill pay user, you do not receive a paper version of your monthly bill. This email serves as the electronic equivalent to the monthly transition notices that Time Warner Cable provides to those customers that do receive paper bills.
Not exactly news, but it does provide the contact info if you missed it previously.
