Conversion to all-digital TV | What you need to know
We are getting some questions about the conversion to all
digital TV, which is still more than a year away in the Myrtle Beach area.
Spectrum (formerly Time Warner Cable) plans to go to an
all-digital signal, which will require users to have a digital adaptor to
continue to see their favorite TV channels. The conversion in the Myrtle Beach
area is planned for mid-2018, a Spectrum official said Thursday.
Until that conversion, annual lease site holders do not need the digital
adapters to get their channels.
Other tidbits about the digital conversion to know:
n
When Time Warner makes the switch to digital,
customers in annual lease sites at Ocean Lakes must have a digital box for each
TV in their house. Two boxes are included free with the lease. Customers can
pick those up from the Spectrum office. (The closest Spectrum office to Ocean
Lakes is in Garden City Beach at 2520 U.S. 17 South, Unit 10 in the Oasis
Plaza).
n
The digital conversion will NOT affect
campsites. Campers will still be able to watch TV without a digital converter.
n
Ocean Lakes does not have the digital boxes and
will not be getting any. You will need to contact Spectrum.
Still have questions? Contact Spectrum at 1-844-725-4318. TIP:
When asked for your address, give the Ocean Lakes mailing address (6001 S.
Kings Highway, Myrtle Beach, SC 29575) and your site number as the “apartment
number.”
We’ll keep you updated as we learn more.
