The removal of CableVision's analogue Super Tier channels is to be delayed for around a month.

The company previously announced the channels 42 to 56 would be taken away on April 19 as the switch to an all digital service continues.

However, the move has been put on hold until May 15 to ensure enough digital home communications terminals are available to accommodate affected customers who choose to upgrade.

Assistant general manager Alan Smith said: "To better serve our customers, we are delaying the removal of the analogue Super Tier channels 42 to 56 until May 15.

"We have been in touch with customers who are still subscribing to these channels in analogue format and want to be sure that they can make a smooth transition.

"By moving the date to May 15, we can be sure there will be enough set-top boxes on hand to make these service changes for everyone. We trust our customers will understand and we will continue working to ensure that the move to all-digital programming goes smoothly for everyone."
