BOOK 46 FADE 816 <br />J U L 141991 <br />E. L. HICKS OF INDIAN RIVER ACRES INFORMED THE BOARD THAT <br />HIS OBJECTION WAS NOT AIMED AT THE RATE INCREASE BUT AT THE CHANGE IN <br />THE PROGRAMMING. HE EMPHASIZED THAT HE SUBSCRIBED TO THE CABLEVISION <br />FOR ENTERTAINMENT, AND HE DID NOT FEEL THE NEED FOR A CHANNEL WITH <br />211 HOURS OF RELIGIOUS ACTIVITIES, 24 HOURS OF SPORTS, OR 24 HOURS <br />OF NEWS. <br />VICTOR HART OF GIFFORD STATED THAT MR. SISK'S PRESENTATION <br />HAD ANSWERED SOME OF HIS QUESTIONS IN REGARD TO WEAK SIGNALS, LINES <br />ACROSS THE SCREEN, AND THE PICTURE BLANKING OUT FROM TIME TO TIME, <br />WHICH HOPEFULLY WILL BE CORRECTED AS THEY ADD THEIR NEW EQUIPMENT. <br />MR, HART DID NOT HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE RATE INCREASE REQUESTED, <br />BUT JUST AS TO WHETHER IT WAS A VALID REQUEST AT THIS PARTICULAR <br />TIME BECAUSE OF SOME OF THE PROBLEMS THEY ARE NOW EXPERIENCING. <br />BETTY RAINEY OF 84TH STREET, WABASSO, STATED THAT SHE HAD <br />NO OBJECTION TO THE NEW STATIONS OR THE PROGRAMMING WHEN SHE CAN SEE <br />IT, BUT HER RECEPTION IS SO POOR AND SNOWY MOST OF THE TIME THAT SHE <br />CAN'T SEE THE PROGRAMS. <br />JOHN E. SMITH OF SHADY REST INFORMED THE BOARD THAT HE HAS <br />A SUBSCRIBER TO THIS CABLE CONCERN FOR THE LAST EIGHT YEARS, <br />NOTED THAT ABOUT A YEAR OR SO AGO THE PEOPLE IN SHADY REST CAME TO <br />THE BOARD AND.TALKED ABOUT THE TROUBLES THEY HAD WITH CABLEVISION, <br />AND IT WAS PROMISED AT THAT TIME THAT THE COMPANY WOULD COME UP AND <br />INVESTIGATE THEIR PROBLEMS. THEY DID DO THAT AND CHECKED TWO OR THREE <br />SECTIONS. MR. SMITH STATED THAT SINCE THIS NEW COMPANY TOOK OVER, THE <br />RECEPTION I -S THE WORST HE HAS SEEN IN EIGHT YEARS. HE THEN DESCRIBED <br />THEIR RECEPTION PROBLEMS I -N DETAIL, AND STATED THAT HE WAS INFORMED <br />BY MR. SISK AND HIS STAFF THAT INTERFERENCE IS CUTTING IN ON CHANNELS <br />5 AND 12 AND SOMETIMES 9 AND THEY HAVE NO CONTROL OVER IT. <br />BERNARD ORMSBY COMPARED HIS CABLEVISION TO GETTING A C.O.D. <br />PACKAGE AND ONLY RECEIVING HALF THE GOODS YOU HAVE PAID FOR. HE FELT <br />THAT UNTIL THIS COMPANY CAN TAKE CARE OF WHAT THEY HAVE, THEY SHOULD <br />NOT RECEIVE ANY INCREASE IN RATES. <br />E. J. BERRY OF 7305 129TH STREET, INDIAN RIVER ACRES, <br />STATED THAT CHANNELS 5, 12, AND 9 ARE VERY BAD IN THEIR AREA, AND HE <br />COULD NOT BE IN FAVOR OF GRANTING AN INCREASE UNTIL THEY IMPROVE WHAT <br />THEY HAVE NOW. <br />®, r <br />4 <br />
