In addition to the HD additions, eight channels will also be digitized and will move from an analog format to the more common digital formal.
A Charter digital set top receiver is necessary for most digital channels to be viewed on a TV, and an HDTV and a Charter HD receiver are necessary to view programming in high definition. Charter digital and HD set top receivers are available at local Charter sales and service locations.
Information about channel locations is also available on the Charter website.
