DTV Transition

Wondering if your TVs are ready for the "digital transition"
on June 12?

Relax...you have digital cable service from Cinergy MetroNet.

By law, full-power television stations nationwide must begin broadcasting exclusively in a digital format by June 12, 2009. The U.S. Congress approved an extension of the deadline, which was originally set for February 17, 2009.

Digital television, known as DTV, is an innovative type of broadcasting technology that provides crystal-clear pictures and sound, and more programming choices than ever before.

What Does That Mean to Cinergy MetroNet subscribers?
As long as your televisions are connected to Cinergy MetroNet cable service, you'll continue to receive all of your favorite shows and all the great programming you've come to expect. We've got you covered!

If you have other televisions receiving broadcast signals via "rabbit ears" or an antenna, you may need to get it connected to cable service before February 2009 by calling Cinergy MetroNet.
