By switching to all-digital, Mediacom gains more capacity to provide more channels, faster internet speeds and better services. Mediacom’s old technology, analog transmission of channels, uses 10 times more system capacity than a digital transmission. For every analog channel, Mediacom could carry 10 digital channels or 3 HD channels.

The Broadcast Digital Transition was a government mandate that required all analog broadcast TV signals to be broadcast in digital, effective June of 2009. The All-Digital conversion allows Mediacom to provide consumers with enhanced services, including more channels and faster internet.

The simplest way to go all-digital is to connect your television to a Mediacom Digital adapter. Once installed, all of your channels will be available and will automatically update with any future lineup additions or changes.

TVs not connected to a Mediacom digital converter or adapter, or TVs without a built-in digital tuner, will be unable to receive any channels from Mediacom including broadcast stations like your local ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, etc.
