When a cable operator substantially alters the cable service it provides to a class of subscribers, the cable operator shall provide each subscriber notice as required in Section 31.20.030, explain the substance and full effect of the alteration, and provide the subscriber with the right to choose to receive any combination of cable services offered by the cable operator. (Ord. 4207 § 1 (part), 2009)

31.32.020 Charges for authorized cable services only.

A cable operator may not charge for any cable service or product that the subscriber has not affirmatively indicated the subscriber wishes to receive. Payment of the regular monthly bill does not in and of itself constitute such an affirmative indication. (Ord. 4207 § 1 (part), 2009)

31.32.030 Requirement to purchase cable service other than basic service.

Subject to federal law, a cable operator that is not subject to effective competition may not require a subscriber to purchase a cable service other than basic service as a condition of purchasing premium or pay-per-view programming. (Ord. 4207 § 1 (part), 2009)
