Since analogue service is being discontinued at the end of the month I called the TCL help desk to understand my options. That was 20 minutes of my life I won't get back.
Each question I asked the CSR required she put me on hold and to ask somebody, after which she came back with a non satisfactory response. In summary
1. What happens if I want to upgrade my analogue to digital - no installation charge but I have to pay $25/month for the digital STB (versus $9.95 for the analogue one). No way
2. What happens if I upgrade the analogue box to a T-Box. On a 24 month plan, that is $14.95/month but I have to pay for an installation fee (presumably $99) since their offer of a free upgrade is only from analogue to digital, not analogue to T-Box
3. What happens if I don't do anything? Will my bill be reduced by $9.95/month effective 1 March. No idea - have to ask at which point I gave up.
I guess I am going to have to manually cancel my analogue box and just live without non Freeview channels in the second room since I am not going to pay $99 for an installation of a T-Box nor am I going to pay $25/month for a second STB.
Sky Digital is now looking more attractive since I won't be having a second STB and their installation is free.
Thanks TCL for nothing.
