EPlus Broadband Launches All-Digital Network

Press Release: April 28th, 2005

EPlus Broadband has completed the launch of its All Digital Simulcast (ADS) project as part of an ongoing effort to bring more choices to customers. Cable channels 2 through 83 were previously only available in an analog format even when using a digital converter. With the simulcast in place, EPlus customers now have access to all cable channels in a digital format when using a digital converter.

Customers will still be able to use their cable-ready televisions and VCR’s without having to rent a digital converter since EPlus Broadband simulcasts the entire 2-83 lineup in an analog or “Cable Ready” format.

Company representatives explain that analog transmission of cable television signals over JEA’s state-of-the-art fiber system has always provided exceptional performance and picture quality. However, they added, digital transmission eliminates picture impairments inherent in analog transmission such as those caused by excessive splitting or amplification of the signal in the customer’s home.

“We are providing this all-digital option to our customers as part of our ongoing commitment to provide the best possible service available to our customers and communities we serve,” stated Ben Lovins, JEA Broadband Operations Manager.

“Our customers deserve the option of participating in the “Digital- Age” and we are excited to provide this choice to them.”

EPlus Broadband has also recently added channels from customer requests…Local on the 8s and SoapNet.
