2007 TV RATE CHANGES

While our Internet rates have dropped for 2007, the costs for providing TV programming have continued to increase by approximately 6%. We have no choice but to pass those increases on to our customers. The following rates become effective on April 1, 2007.

$13.99/mo

Analog TMC W

We recommend Digital over analog premiums. They have more choices, lower rates, and clearer pictures.

Lucas Valley Cable provides additional TV programming as described below on a subscription basis. Subscription rates are in the left column--compare with cable rates outside of the community and personal satellite rates on our Rate Comparison page.

EXPANDED TV (Channels 2-90)

This $32.99/month plan is the foundation for all of our TVservices and also entitles the subscriber to lower Internet rates. In addition to providing a mix of quality programming, including local HDTV stations and DMX music channels, Expanded TV is the starting point for the digital options that are described below.

The following programming is included in the plan:

*HDTV and SDTV require ATSC tuner capable of tuning cable channels.

DIGITAL TV (Channels 200-499)

Our digital packages can work with any TV set. Select among over 100 quality channels organized into subscription packages, or pick the MAX PAK and get all of them at a discounted rate.

Please note that our present Digital TV offerings are not high-defnition.
