Can I get premium channels such as HBO and Showtime?
Premium services (HBO, Showtime, Cinemax and Starz/Encore) are only available to lodging businesses (i.e. hotel/motel, hospitals, etc.) on a bulk rate. These services are not available for offices and public areas, such as lobbies, bars, restaurants, and lounges.
How do I get Pay-Per-View events?
Knology does not have commercial rights to PPV fights and events. There are usually one or two promoters in a market that the business must call to order the fight. The promoter will call you back with a price and bill you directly for the fight. Knology is only providing the signal on behalf of the promoter. It is advised that you call the promoters at least one week before an event or get on their list as potentials for every fight so you will get called for upcoming events. Movies are not available to businesses.
