EPB is adding the next generation of television service to its video lineup at the same time as its basic Fi TV customers are getting enhanced options for video recording and high-definition TV.
Ahead of the summer Olympics in Brazil next week, EPB announced Friday it will begin offering 4K ultra high definition viewing to the Chattanooga market with its Fi TV Select. The new service will give consumers more options for both the channels they receive and the quality and recording options they have.
Previously, EPB’s video service provided high-definition TV and its top DVR recording options only to those who bought the premium service with nearly 200 channels. The new plan, which will begin Monday, allows consumers who get only the basic 18-channel Bronze plan also to get HD TV and DVR service.
“Our customers are really expecting HD to be a normal part of their service,” EPB President David Wade told utility directors Friday at the monthly board meeting. “Our customers also tell us they want more flexibility of choice.”
