SIERRA VISTA — The Huachuca City Town Council voted to renew the town’s contract with a local cable provider and to submit a grant proposal for a sidewalk along the highway leading to the elementary school during its regular meeting Thursday.
The contract with Cox amounts to an extension of a deal originally signed with the company in 1991, said Town Clerk Ron Armstrong.
The contract does not exclude other television or Internet providers from making similar deals with the town, Armstrong said.

Has been promising internet in Huachuca City for 5 years now. They sell time
on network channels to infomercials instead of airing the programming we are
paying for. Poor service > loss of customers > low customer base > ignorant
management uses to justify not improving service (a cycle these guys don’t
seem to see). We should be getting our service from Sierra Vista with
identical channels and internet. When I call to report a channel outage, I
get techs that don’t have a clue how the network works, and will troubleshoot
a problem that could only be caused at the server as if it was my box.
Usually it takes days for others to call in, so nothing done til then. Is it
because so few COX customers left in Huachuca City?
why would anyone in HC pay for cox when they can get 4x the channels for the
same price.
I get a connection that used to be sufficient for running a small ISP, PLUS a
bunch of TV channels, for less than what it would cost me to get a
much-slower DSL link alone. The only thing that really bugs me is that they
made C-SPAN2 a premium channel.
should make some major changes on cable providors like cox,aka, comcast.i for
one am tired of paying $50.00 a month to watch commercials 60percent of the
time and continous reruns.
Have you explored how many channels you can get off the air? Out here in
Hereford I put up an 8 bay UHF antenna and now receive most of the Tucson
channels. Digital channels 4, 6, 11, 13, 18 and 58. Channel 9 stayed on VHF
after the transition but I haven’t put up a channel 9 antenna. This line up
provides enough to satisfy our needs since channel 11-2 is a movie channel
and except for the cost of the antenna, it’s all FREE!
