Service: Cable TV 
Type: Scheduled Maintenance 
Title: Termination of analog cable television service on campus 
Status:  Open
Comments: Reminder: Effective Aug.7, 2013 the Telecommunication
Systems department in Infrastructure Planning and Facilities will be
terminating the legacy analog television service on campus.  

What does this mean?
¢ Most televisions on campus are digital televisions and should not be
impacted by this change.
¢ As of Aug. 7:
o The free digital interactive video services (IVS) tier (digital
channels 19-22) will still be available, along with the pay-for
digital ETV tier (digital channels 24-30). If you can tune to these
digital channels today, your service will not be impacted.
o Analog channels (2-18) will no longer be available to televisions
purchased before 2008 without a digital converter box. Older
"cable-ready" televisions will need a converter box in order to watch
the digital programming. In many cases it may be cheaper to purchase a
digital television. More information can be found in the FAQ section
at ipf.msu.edu/services/cable-tv/.

Why is this happening?
This is the last phase of a project that started in 2009 to convert
the cable television network to an all-digital system. This change is
in response to industry and technology changes. Digital cable
television offers crystal-clear, high-definition programming and
allows MSU to expand content offered in the future. Analog televisions
have not been available for sale since 2008.
