Cable Television

Wave's cable services include basic cable, digital cable, high-definition television and digital video
recording. Wave also offers TV On Demand in most areas. Only Wave gives you the local
programming you want based on where you live, plus your favorite shows in your time zone.
If you have selected digital cable, high-definition television (HDTV) or digital video recording (DVR),
please refer to the On-Screen Guide brochure in your Welcome Kit to learn how to use the Interactive
Program Guide included with your service. This will allow you to navigate the expanded channel
choices, use parental controls, set program reminders, get detailed program information and more.

Basic Cable

Wave Basic Cable is simple to install. You don't need any additional devices, and you can connect to
any cable-ready TV in your home—provided you have activated your Wave cable service. To connect
to Wave cable, you simply run a coaxial cable from your wall mounted cable outlet to your cable-ready
television set or to your VCR. If you find that your cable outlet is not activated, or you need additional
cable outlets installed in your home, please contact us to schedule a professional installation.

Installing Basic Cable

• The connection from the outlet to your TV, DVD recorder or VCR will always be
coaxial cable. If you use a DVD recorder or VCR, you can use a different cable from
this device to your TV.
• Check connections to ensure they are threaded correctly and firmly tighten by hand;
do not use tools to tighten.
• If you use a DVD recorder or a VCR, you will need to tune your TV to channel 3
or 4 to watch cable. Check with your DVD recorder or VCR user manual for more
information.
• Since your personal components may vary as well, please refer to your user manual(s)
for installation of those components.
• Some channels in Basic Cable may require additional equipment. Check your
Channel Lineup card for more information on which channels require equipment.

Digital Cable

Wave digital cable gives you access to up to 300 channels of everything from the local channels you
depend on, to hours of entertainment for the kids and so much more!
Wave's digital cable includes digital music too. You can enjoy commercial-free CD-quality music in tons
of genres—from classic to modern country to holidays and happenings—digital music offers it all.
You'll also have access to instant pay-per-view events and On Demand movies. You'll love the selection
and convenience. Order the latest and most popular movies at the click of your remote!
Installing Digital Cable
• Not all DCTs look alike. The one you receive may vary slightly from the diagram
shown in the wiring section beginning on page 10 of this User's Guide.
• Connect your digital cable terminal to your TV, DVD recorder or VCR by referring to
the wiring diagrams beginning on page 10. After installation, you may be receiving
more channels than you ordered. Within 24 hours, the DCT will automatically reset
itself with your programming package.
