As the digital transition progresses towards its conclusion in June 2012, Mediacom will be
moving many channels from the current basic tier and Family Basic tier to digital broadcast
basic. Digital Broadcast Basic channels are included with Broadcast Basic and Family Cable
service. However, a TV with a digital QAM tuner or a Mediacom Digital Converter is needed on
each TV to receive these channels. Digital Tuners are now available from Mediacom to receive
Digital Broadcast Basic Channels. Mediacom will provide one Digital Tuner free for one year.**
Additional Digital Tuners are available for only $1.99 per month.
