I wonder if Turner Vision programming packages will pick up CNN,
Headline News, TBS, TNT, and other channels that they currently serve on
analog when December 31st rolls around?
That is the date that the above channels and more are expected to go
digital.
Turner Vision did not pick up many of my favorite channels that moved
over to Ku-band and is now available via National Programming Services.
By the way, I picked up the Absolute Digital package and recovered the
lost channels that Turner Vision refused to carry.
If Turner Vision does not pick up the core news channels of CNN and
Headline News, then myself and others, that have C-band packages through
them, may have no choice but to move to NPS and or other providers.
The clock is ticking and nothing has been mentioned by Turner Vision
about their intentions concerning this matter. On the other hand, NPS
has hinted that they will be offering a package called the Absolute
Digital Plus package. This will probably result in them picking up CNN,
Headline News and others.
We will surely see a NPS announcement before the change over date of
December the 31st.
