BOX 327 SEBASTIAN, FLORIDA 32958 (305) 589-3846 <br />i <br />1 December 3, 1979 <br />1 W <br />1 Assistant County Administrator p �;LC1r?g <br />Indian River CountyCoun <br />VerotBeach,thouse Floridaui1ding <br />32960 m .s+.tatoi5vice,�Ci; <br />i Dear Mr. Donlon: <br />1 <br />1 Per our agreement at the Public Hearing on November 14,1979 <br />1 we began a complete investigation of the cable television signals <br />® in Shady Rest Mobile Home Park. Our initial tests, conducted <br />i November. 15th were made on each of the six distribution lines <br />1 that provide signal to feed the individual house drops to ever <br />i P Y <br />® subscriber in the park. Signal level measurements were made <br />® to the end of each of these distribution cables and the results <br />1 proved that five of the six were operating properly and well <br />1 within the FCC signal standards. The sixth distribution cable, <br />1 however, fell well below the signal requirements and would have <br />1 <br />provided ® p poor reception to those subscribers on that line. A <br />® point of interest to us was that five of the six individuals who <br />1 attended the hearing from Shady Rest were subscribers located on <br />1 the faulty distribution line. <br />1 We have completed replacement of approximately 450 feet <br />1 of the cable on that distribution line which has restored the <br />signal levels to meet the signal level requirements. If any of <br />® the subscribers are currently experiencing reception problems, <br />1 other than those that occur on our distant channels which we <br />1 covered at the meeting, the problem may be in the individual drop <br />® line to the subscribers' home or in his TV set. I am notifying <br />® Mr. Miles to inform the residents of Shady Rest that if they are <br />experiencing problems other than those mentioned above to call our <br />1 office so that we can make individual trouble calls to check <br />1 subscribers who may p ihave problems in their individual house drops. <br />i s. P <br />1 You might be very interested to know that we found two res- <br />idents out of twenty-four that we have checked who had connected <br />1 themselves illegally to our cable system and, one of the individ- <br />uals who had addressed the commissioners had purchased TV equip- <br />ment to illegally receive our Premium Television package without <br />1 paying for the service. <br />i <br />i In addition, while I was working in the park on Saturday;. November <br />1 24th, another resident who apparently did not know who I was <br />® offered me a bottle of liquor if I could hook him up to our Premium <br />® Television without his having to pay for the service. We plan to <br />complete an audit of this entire park to determine how many more <br />i illegals there are and I am requestini Mr. Miles to inform the <br />1 residents that illegal reception is a violation.of Florida Statute <br />1 810.095. <br />1 <br />1 <br />1 <br />1 <br />1 <br />1 <br />Sincerely, <br />1 + <br />1 <br />Ralph A. Haimowitz <br />- Manager <br />
