However, a TV with a digital QAM tuner or a Mediacom Digital Converter is needed on each TV to receive these channels once in the digital format. Digital adapters are now available from Mediacom. Each household will be issued up to 3 digital adapters at no charge through June 30, 2013. Beginning July 1, 2013, a charge of $.99 per adapter will be assessed. Additional adapters will be available at a cost of $.99 per adapter. Customers using digital TVs with QAM tuners instead of Mediacom equipment may need to run a one -time channel search by selecting that option from their television menu. Customers in your community have received several letters communicating the timeline of the transition. Mediacom has provided customers multiple avenues to obtain their free digital adapters including: online ordering, telephone orders through customer service, and equipment pick -up at payment centers. Mediacom will also hold open houses in various communities.
