40 FAQs Why is my TV only receiving static? Often the reason for static is because the input on your TV has been changed accidentally. To change the Input, either use the original TV remote and press the SOURCE/INPUT/ VIDEO button until it goes back to the proper mode. Or press the TV button on your Access remote and then the VIDEO SOURCE button. How many hours can I record on my PVR? The recording times are listed below. Times are approximate as you may be able to record more or less hours, depending on channel compression rates. Please note, all of the boxes may not be available in your community. Box Digital High Definition Motorola DCT 6412 and 60 hours 20 hours DCT 3412 Motorola DCT hours 26 hours Motorola DCT hours no HD capability Pace TDC777D 80 hours 26 hours Motorola DCX hours 40 hours AccessEvo 300 hours 75 hours What do I need to do to get HD service? To get HD service you need 3 things: an HDTV, an HD digital box, and the HD Starter package. Additional HD theme packages available. How many TVs can I hook up? We guarantee service on three outlets. More than three outlets may require an amplifier, which has a one-time charge of $75.00; the technician will determine if an amplifier is required or not. Who do I contact about the programming on your channels? The only channel we have control over is our own Access7 channel. Please feel free to contact us with any questions about Access7. For any other channel, please contact the network directly. 40

41 I have an HDTV and an HD digital box. I m watching X channel, and it says it s broadcasting in HD, but I m not getting an HD picture. Why? You have to be tuned to an HD channel to get a true HD picture. If you re watching the standard definition TSN channel, for example, even if it says it s being broadcast in HD that particular channel is broadcasting in standard definition. You d have to tune to the HD TSN channel to see the program in HD. Please be aware that most HD channels offer a mix of standard definition and high- definition programming. As more and more programs are being filmed in HD, the amount of true HD programming is increasing. If I have a digital channel package, do I need a digital box for every TV? No. TVs that have a digital box connected will get all the channels you subscribe to. Any other TVs in the home will get up to Enhanced, depending on what you re subscribing to. Why do I have to take a standard definition channel to get the HD version of that channel? This is due to contractual requirements. Basically, the HD networks make it part of their contract that customers must subscribe to the standard definition channel to get the HD version. This is true for any company that offers HD services.
