I have read the flyer send with my cable bill regarding the "All Digital FAQs" and still have questions I'd like to see addressed:
1. What happens to existing TV pictures if I don't get the mini box?
2. If I have 7 TVs not connected to a box currently, am I to understand that I will be charged $14/month ($98/year)? Could you explain why I would do this versus going to another service provider? Please don't say it is for better picture quality. Also, please don't say for more channels - for most families, having multiple televisions means you have children who are interested in Noggin/Sprout/Etc. and thus the channels you are providing are not meaningful. This seems to be about revenue.
3. The flyer states, "...the first group of channels will be moving to a digital-only format and require equipment, like a mini box, for viewing." This seems to imply that other, non-Cox equipment can be used in substitution of a Cox mini box. Please provide information on such alternatives.
4. There seems to be some confusion as to whether there are any "activation fees". Please clarify.
Thank you.
