§ 76.1620   Availability of signals.

   If a cable operator authorizes subscribers to install additional
   receiver connections, but does not provide the subscriber with such
   connections, or with the equipment and materials for such connections,
   the operator shall notify such subscribers of all broadcast stations
   carried on the cable system which cannot be viewed via cable without a
   converter box and shall offer to sell or lease such a converter box to
   such subscribers. Such notification must be provided by June 2, 1993,
   and annually thereafter and to each new subscriber upon initial
   installation. The notice, which may be included in routine billing
   statements, shall identify the signals that are unavailable without an
   additional connection, the manner for obtaining such additional
   connection and instructions for installation.
