news from the education channel

December 30, 2007 at 4:27 pm | In TV, Movies, Tampa Bay Area |

Two emails from The Education Channel to share with you:

Bright House moved The Education Channel to channel 614 on December 11, 2007. Channel 614 is a digital channel and requires a digital converter box. This also applies to The Explorer Channel, your source for NASA TV, currently on channel 21 in the City of Tampa. Bright House moved The Explorer Channel to channel 620.

If you already subscribe to digital cable, you should be able to see The Education Channel on channel 614 and The Explorer Channel on channel 620.

If you don’t have digital cable, call Bright House at 813-684-6400 and ask them to install a digital converter box in your home so that you can see The Education Channel. They will bring you a box, set it up and charge you only $1 a month more, if you tell them you want to see your local educational channels.

If you have questions or problems with this transition, please call us at The Education Channel 254-2253, extension 211.
