| What programs
are scheduled on Comcast channel 8 or Verizon channel 32? |
The programming schedule for local programs
is shown
on the bulletin board on Comcast channel 8 and Verizon channel
32. The bulletin board on
Comcast channel 8 is not viewable
when local programming is being aired. You can also go to the
programming page of this website to
access the programming schedule. |
| Where are you
located. |
The production studio and offices are located at:
370 Hollis St, Holliston, MA, 01746
at Holliston High School in space leased from the town. We have our
own entrance located to the right and around the corner of the main
entrance. |
| How do
programs get on the Holliston channels? |
Volunteers who have been trained to use the equipment
shoot, edit and prepare the video for airing. HCAT does not have a
production team available to cover town events. The board's policy is to air only programs
sponsored by Holliston residents. Requirements for submitting
programs can be found in our policy manual. Sponsors must sign
an air request document taking responsibility for the content of the
video. |
| What if I
have an idea for a new show? |
The best way to get your idea on the air is to take
the free training to learn to use the production equipment and produce
the program yourself. However, it is possible to produce a new show
with existing trained volunteers. |
| What if I am
having trouble with my reception or billing. |
You need to contact the cable provider that you are using to receive
your television service. Holliston is served by two providers,
Comcast and Verizon FIOS. Comcast: 888-633-4266
Verizon FIOS 800-438-3467 |
| Why aren't
more local events aired on the Holliston channels? |
Remember, we are a group of volunteers. We are limited
by the availability and interest of volunteers. If
there is something you would like to see covered on Holliston Cable
Access, find other interested people and form a production crew.
It's fun and rewarding. |
| Why don't we
have more channels available? |
Holliston Cable Access provides the video content for
Comcast channels 8, 10, and11 and Verizon channels 32, 33 and 34. All other channels are controlled by
the cable vendor. If you would like to see additional programming on
the channel line up, please contact your provider. |
| Why doesn't
HCAT tape school plays and local theater for replay? |
Copyright laws restrict what we are allowed to tape and rebroadcast. |
| There are too
many bulletin board pages and they don't remain on the screen long
enough for me to record information I need. |
The HCAT bulletin board pages are available on our web
site. Click on the bulletin board button and then on the link to the
bulletin board pages. The online version of the bulletin board
will be updated once per week. |
