Time Warner Cable is launching a CableCARD initiative in order to keep up with the demands of our customers. Those who wish to access analog, digital cable, HDTV and premium channels without a digital set-top box may use a CableCARD™. The CableCARD™ is a small device that plugs directly into your digital cable-ready TV. It can be activated, serviced and leased monthly through Time Warner Cable.

CableCARD™

How do I get a CableCARD™?

Call 1.866.321.CABLE and schedule an installation.

How does CableCARD™ work?

The card will serve as cable's conditional access security means and will "pass" the appropriate set of programming services to the cable customer. Because this is a one-way device, cable customers will still require a digital set top box to receive our two-way services such as iCONTROL and the Interactive Program Guide.

If I buy a digital ready TV set, what's the best solution for me?

It depends on how you enjoy your cable service. If you are satisfied with receiving analog and digital programming (including premium services like HBO & Cinemax) on a one-way basis, you can use CableCARD™ instead of a digital set top box. If you want to take advantage of Time Warner Cable's interactive services, such as iCONTROL movies or premium services or our Interactive Program Guide, then you will need to use a digital set top box.

How much will CableCARD™ cost?

The devices will be offered on a leased basis for $1.75 per month.

Can I buy one instead of leasing one?

No, CableCARDs™ can only be leased through Time Warner Cable.

Will there be any difference in picture quality between CableCARD™ and a set top box?

No. Customers will enjoy the same picture quality with CableCARD™ as they do with a digital set-top box.

Can I get premium channels like HBO and Showtime with CableCARD™?

Yes.

You have the power. Take control.

Video On Demand, powered by iCONTROL^SM, is an interactive service that's available exclusively with Time Warner Digital Cable. You have the power to watch the movies and other programs you want to see. We give you the convenience to watch them when you want to see them. iCONTROL^SM gives you VCR-like control, around-the-clock access, parental control and more movie titles than pay-per-view. There's no extra equipment to buy. And now series and movies from HBO, Showtime, Cinemax and The Movie Channel have been added to the iCONTROL options.
