NCTC Cable Technical Update – JULY 20, 2022

Thank you for choosing Hamilton as your trusted provider for television service. We truly value our relationship with you and we are committed to delivering you the best customer experience.

We wanted to make you aware of some necessary changes to your current TV channel lineup that will be effective later this month.

The equipment used to deliver the cable TV service in your area is aging and cannot be repaired. We are working very hard to keep up on maintenance until we can offer Cobalt TV, our IPTV solution, to all our cable customers. We have already started converting some customers to Cobalt TV. In the meanwhile, we have had to change the receivers at our headend for legacy cable tv service, which will affect your channel numbers.

On July 21st, 2022 between 8:00 am and 9:00 AM Hamilton will be upgrading the TV signal on the NCTC Cable TV platform from standard definition to high definition. In order to continue receiving your channels, you will need to scan your TV after 9:00 am July 21st.

There are also some new channels that will now be available to you.

Below you will find some basic instructions for scanning your TV and updating your channels.

How to Scan to Update your TV to your New Channels:
In order to continue receiving your channels, you will need to scan your TV. Directions on how to do this may be specific to your TV, but we have outlined some general guidelines:

  1. Press the “Menu” button on your remote control.
  2. Find and select the “Channel Scan” option in your TV’s Menu. This option may also be labeled “Rescan,” “Tune,” or “Auto-tune.”
  3. Your TV will automatically scan for the channels.

The current channel lineup will expire on July 21, 2022. You may need to rescan your TV after that time to remove those channels that will no longer receive any signal. If you have an older-style tube TV, you will likely not be able to receive the new channels.

If you currently have Fiber to your home, you can now receive Cobalt TV – our IPTV service that delivers the most superior quality, along with more channels, and additional unique features including 24/7 weather forecast and radar and an interactive guide.

For questions on the channel change or additional information on Cobalt TV, please contact our customer service team at 308-468-6341.

We truly thank you for being our customer! Your business makes a difference to us and to every one of our employees.
