GVTV
Call in and let us know what the channel is; we will add it to our customer request list and if enough people request it we might be able to add it.
Yes. It has to be on the same property as the home and construction and other equipment charges may apply; call for details.
We do not require a contract. We do require a 2-year commitment if you select the free installation option, which includes installation of up to 3 TVs, pending approved credit. Additional TVs would be charged for time and material.
You can put your service on suspend for up to 6 months in a 12-month period; billing automatically restarts after 6 months. You may terminate your service for any period of time if you are not in a commitment, but equipment must be returned to our office and charges would apply to reinstall the equipment and restore service.
Restart TV is a free service that allows you to restart a program from the beginning that has already started. You can restart a program prior to it ending, and even choose to record it from the beginning, if you subscribe to our DVR service.
Each programmer commonly has 6 to 10 channels and dictates by contract that we broadcast all of them. We use reports to watch if there are channels that are not watched and work with programmers to reduce rates or drop channels based on these viewership reports.
This is a cost recovery fee for time it takes to make programming changes on a per customer basis.
We are always evaluating what channels to add and remove. When we removed MTV they had 23 channels; 5 of those channels had never been tuned into by any customer and another 12 of them were tuned into on a very rare occasion. MTV charges a very high rate for these channels and until they remove the must carry requirement of these 5 channels, it is unlikely we would add them back to our channel lineup.
We provide a remote for each TV that has GVTV service and they are universal, so we can program it to operate all of your television functions.
