LUS Fiber offers a variety of video programming tiers and services, including a Basic tier that includes most of the local television broadcast stations in your area and an Expanded Basic tier that includes many additional video programming channels. Some of the local broadcast stations included in the Basic tier are also available in a digital format. Where available, there are many additional digital television programming channels and services that you may purchase with LUS Fiber Digital Basic or Digital Plus, which includes access to the interactive program guide, digital music, premium and pay-per-view channels, as well as video-on-demand (OnDemand). Tiers of service offered by LUS Fiber are generally independent of each other, unless noted in special offers. However, as a prerequisite for subscribing to the various tiers offered including premium movie channels or pay-per-view events, customers are required by law to subscribe to the Basic tier of service – which is also offered as a standalone tier. LUS Fiber may also offer customers the option to rent equipment, such as set-top boxes and remotes that may be needed to access certain programming services.

An unauthorized television hook-up is a severe and expensive problem. It is also a crime punishable by fines and/or imprisonment. Television theft increases the cost of our business as well as legitimate, paying LUS Fiber customers.

(Basic and Expanded Basic channels are offered in this format) Most modern television sets, DVRs and other viewing devices are television compatible and can receive the analog television signals carried on the LUS Fiber analog television system. All channels in these tiers are viewable without the use of advanced decryption devices such as Cable Card technology (sometimes referred to as DCR or UDCP devices) or similar Public Key Infrastructure software technology.
(All channels are offered in this format when the appropriate digital tier is purchased) Digital signals carried on the LUS Fiber system will not be viewable without a set top channel converter box compatible with and authorized by the LUS Fiber system. These boxes are all HD compatible and are referred to as HD and HD/DVR Digital Receivers. If you plan to purchase any digital television services that we encode or encrypt, such as premium, pay-per-view, or video on demand (OnDemand), you should make sure that any set-top converter, navigation device or digital television ready TV/display devices that you purchased from a retail outlet is capable of working with our television system. Upon request, we will provide you with the technical parameters that are needed for any such devices to operate with our television system. In addition, you should know that receivers with decryption software are illegal to sell or use unless authorized by LUS Fiber. If you receive our services through a set-top box purchased from a source other than LUS Fiber, you may not be able to use special features and functions on your TV, DVR and/or other viewing devices. These may include features that allow you to view a program on one channel while simultaneously recording a program on another channel; record two or more consecutive programs that appear on different channels; and use advanced picture generation and display features such as “Picture-in-Picture,” Channel Review, and other functions that necessitate channel selection by your consumer device. You may be able to resolve these issues (and other compatibility issues associated with the reception of non-encrypted programming services) through an additional converter that is available for lease from LUS Fiber upon request (rental fees for HD Digital Receiver apply). Please call Technical Support at 99-FIBER (993-4237) with questions regarding the type of special equipment needed to resolve individual compatibility problems.
Certain new TVs/display devices (sometimes referred to as DCR or UDCP devices) are sold with a port for a Cable Card, which, on most television systems, can substitute for a set-top box. The current generations of these TVs/display devices are not compatible with the Digital television portion of the LUS Fiber System. They will not function properly without an LUS Fiber supplied set-top box. You will not be able to view digital programming, use any interactive or two-way services that we offer, such as premium pay-per-view, video on demand (OnDemand), or the LUS Fiber interactive program guide without an LUS Fiber issued set-top box. At this time, only LUS Fiber leased set-top boxes (HD Digital Receivers and HD/DVR Digital Receivers) are known to be compatible with the system. As consumer demands increase, “off-the-shelf” channel converter boxes, TVs, DVRs or other viewing/recording devices that are compatible with Downloadable Conditional Access decryption technology may become available. At such time, only devices certified to be consistent with Public Key Infrastructure and Microsoft® for DRM will be permitted. Until such time, you can obtain an HD Digital Receiver or HD/DVR Digital Receiver from LUS Fiber with a monthly charge for every television that you wish to receive digital programming (monthly charges apply per Digital Receiver). For more information, you may contact us by calling Customer Service at 99-FIBER (993-4237).
LUS Fiber includes a remote control unit with each Digital Receiver. Some televisions, DVRs, DVDs, or Home Theater devices (hereafter controlled device) can be controlled with the remote control unit that LUS Fiber supplies. LUS Fiber makes no guarantees that any or all features of your controlled device will function as desired. However, we do find that in most cases the remote control unit will interact with many of the controlled devices available on the market.
We are currently unaware of any “Universal” remote control units that are compatible with LUS Fiber Digital Receivers. As we understand the nature of this issue, this is currently a licensed feature that the remote control unit manufacturers have not yet purchased from our current set-top vendor. However, we do anticipate that these devices will be compatible at some point in the near future. If you find that a certain model of a “Universal” remote control is compatible with our Digital Receivers, then please contact our Technical Support at 99-FIBER (993-4237) so that we may certify its operation with our system.
Before you move, please contact Customer Service at 99-FIBER (993-4237) so that we can arrange for your service(s) to be disconnected. At that time, we can also schedule an installation at your new home if it is within our serviceable area.
The information in this notice is subject to change. We will provide appropriate notice of any major changes in advance so that you can make a decision about your future service needs.
