KBS World, channel 80 on Oceanic Time Warner Cable (now Charter cable) and channel 23 Hawaii Telcom will be getting a digital upgrade in early July. The system will be fully upgraded to SD (serial digital) which will improve the current video and audio quality. The schedule upgrade is set for Tuesday.
There may be short, intermittent loss of video in the upgrade process that day. What you will see is a cleaner, crisp video and audio by the end of the day.
This upgrade is the second step in the master plan of upgrading the family of channels operated by KBFD. KBFD transitioned to high definition on May 11 last year.
