/at the minimum/ a breach of their terms and conditions.<br>

<br>I can advise that certain properties that did have a cable service were configured to receive these basic channels free of charge.<br><br>I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for bringing this issue to our attention.<br>
<br>Yours sincerely<br><br>Kenneth Dugdale<br><---<br></div></div><br>make of that what you will. :)<br><br>Ian<br></div>
