Our cable television provider sent a message that if I don’t get a new device installed for our television the service will end. I said okay and they shipped an encryption device designed to make the internet signal readable by our television.
To install the equipment required a service technician. We used to call them cable guys, yet no more. The new technology eliminates the need for a coaxial cable for television. The internet, voice and video provider is removing television from their existing cable and moving it to the internet. They plan to use the freed up cable bandwidth to improve internet speed without laying new cable. A cable still comes into the house, yet the television connects via WiFi.
The technicians were here about two and a half hours.
The senior technician was training someone new. I have gotten to know my technician, and he provided his personal telephone number. He said call him directly should there be any problems. He lives only a couple of miles from my home and would come right over and fix whatever cropped up. I haven’t used this availability yet would, if needed.
At the end of the repair session, I checked the two channels we use, and both were coming in clearly. Here’s hoping I don’t need to call them again any time soon.

One reply on “No Longer the Cable Guy”
The people whom work for Mediacom are really nice, helpful and do their job well. Gotta say though, of all the places around the country I’ve lived, Mediacom (in Iowa) was always hugely more expensive and antiquated compared to cities in other states. Still better than no cable/internet at all.
