2 <br />In January, County staff, in conjunction with TWC Public Affairs, launched a public information <br />campaign on the County's web site advertising the arrival of Channel 265. The information <br />includes steps all TWC subscribers anywhere in Orange County can follow - if not currently <br />digital customers - to acquire a free digital converter box. This box enables viewers to receive <br />Channel 265 and view BOCC meetings. <br />A quick reference guide for BOCC meeting viewers by residency is shown below: <br />Chapel Hill - Time Warner Cable subscribers were able to watch a rebroadcast (tape delay) of <br />BOCC meetings via The People's Channel 8 the Wednesday after the meeting (8:OOPM) and <br />Thursday after the meeting (8:OOAM and 2:OOPM) ... Beginning March 27, subscribers will be <br />able to watch the BOCC meeting live from the Southern Human Services Center facility on <br />Channel 265 and a rebroadcast schedule planned for the following Wednesday and Thursday <br />on Channel 265. <br />BOCC meetings from the Gordon Battle Courtroom in Hillsborough will be rebroadcast on <br />Channel 265 on the following Wednesday and Thursday. <br />BOCC meetings will no longer be scheduled for rebroadcast on The People's Channel 8. <br />Hillsborough - Same as Chapel Hill <br />Unincorporated County - Same as Chapel Hill <br />Carrboro - Time Warner Cable subscribers were unable to watch a rebroadcast of BOCC <br />meetings via The People's Channel 8 due to a technical idiosyncrasy in the build out of the <br />Carrboro and Chapel Hill cable systems ... Beginning March 27, subscribers will be able to <br />watch the BOCC meeting live from the Southern Human Services Center facility on Channel <br />265 and a rebroadcast schedule on Channel 265 planned for the following Wednesday and <br />Thursday. <br />BOCC meetings from the Gordon Battle Courtroom in Hillsborough will be rebroadcast on <br />Channel 265 on the following Wednesday and Thursday. <br />Satellite Customers - Orange County residents who do not subscribe to Time Warner Cable <br />will not be able to receive Channel 265. <br />NOTE: The ability to receive the Channel 265 signal is based upon the following - that the <br />Orange County resident is a Time Warner Cable customer who subscribes to digital service or <br />has requested and installed a free Time Warner Cable digital converter box. To receive the free <br />digital converter box, residents are asked to contact the County Manager's Office at 245-2301 or <br />us. <br />Attached is a background document that provides a summary of fledgling Channel 265. <br />All systems are "go" and County staff seeks BOCC formal confirmation to officially air live <br />beginning with the meeting at Southern on March 27, 2007. County staff is planning to arrange <br />a brief recognition of TWC officials by the BOCC during that inaugural broadcast.
