1/3/84 <br />Page -3- <br />since you put .in the new deal, the pictures <br />are wavy and not clear. <br />Carol Roberts Her husband and her biggest question was <br />2423 Franklin Ave. how their new converter system will work <br />with their present TV equipment. The rumors <br />they heard from the person that delivered their <br />new converter was that you plan to scramble <br />all of the signal so that totally incapacitates <br />the tuner that is built into your video <br />recorder or your television set. In order <br />for them to program and record 2 programs <br />on t:heir video recorder while they are gone <br />for a week, they have to have somebody come <br />over- and then would change their converter <br />channel because the video recorder tuner <br />wou]Ld no longer work. That is the main <br />question they would like answered - exactly <br />are they going to scramble all the signals; <br />why that is necessary? Also how they are <br />going to work with people who have invested <br />a lot of money in equipment? <br />Mayor Meier stated if councilmembers had <br />questions similiar to those asked by the <br />pub:Lic that they .ask them _at this .time, <br />then Scripps/Howard could respond to all <br />questions at one time. <br />Councilman Fauson Asked Mr. Bradley to repeat his question #7. <br />Bradley stated that question 7 was - did <br />Scripps/Howard buy the general instrument <br />equipment - the scrambler and the remote con- <br />trol - as a set, as a unit package, unit pri- <br />cing? Was Scripps/Howard sure that they got <br />the best deal? Why are they distributing <br />them separate:Ly. He thought that Scripps/ <br />Howard errored in their purchase by not buy- <br />ing a system with a sound control. You put in <br />an IS strip and amplifier and then you turn <br />your television set all the way up and then <br />you. control the sound through the remote con- <br />trol. <br />Councilwoman Morris Regarding the remote control - if in fact <br />Remote control people had the impression that since they had <br />a cable ready television with remote control <br />thz-u perhaps some misinformation from Storer, <br />how would Scripps/Howard deal with that and <br />is there being any provision made for that? <br />To the best of her knowledge it was going to <br />be a flat $3.00 fee each month - would like <br />th_Ls addressed. <br />Availability of New Channels Would like specifics on when the new channels <br />wi:Ll be available - a few channels have been <br />
