In an update for customers, the Lax Kw'alaams Band Council outlined the nature of the changeover, with a number of Standard Definition channels taken off the air as content providers shift towards a High Definition options.
The first part of the upgrade project got underway in mid-July with repairs to lines and replacement of obsolete equipment, replacing them with new models that are compatible with the changes.
The next step that is underway is the installation of new equipment at the Cable Company Head end and the installation of a new Satellite dish to pick up new satellites.
The investment by the Band Council is designed to bring Lax Kw'alaams Cable to the latest technology and allow them to remain a less costly alternative to other television providers in the region.
