COMCAST CABLE TV - Shernette Howard from Comcast spoke to the Board and Members in attendance and she explained the recent migration of channels by Comcast due to the digital from analog transition and informed the Board that additional migration of channels will take place. The FCC has mandated that cable TV service provider's transition from analog to digital be complete by 2012.  Mrs. Howard passed out current channel lineup cards and explained the new Comcast digital service advantages. Mrs. Howard informed the Board she would furnish a proposal for Boca Winds which would include a digital receiver which would allow the Boca Winds residents to receive the channels lost plus additional channels. Mrs. Howard informed the Board that the current Comcast contract expires in 2012 and the penetration report for Boca Winds indicates that 420 Boca Winds residents are already using the Comcast digital service. Mr. Pontrelli asked Mrs. Howard if Comcast would compensate Boca Winds for the migration or reduction in the original channel lineup due to the digital transition. Mrs. Howard again stated that Comcast would provide a proposal for the Board to review that would recover channels lost plus additional channels. Mrs. Howard stated she would also review the current Comcast/Boca Winds contract to see if it allowed for the migration of channels.
