Cable television, which is almost always used by households, was overhauled in full contribution in 2002. For a long time, many families have been obscuring various hidden charges for cable television, new charges for the opening of an account, transfer charges for moving houses, additional costs for circuit failure, damage to the roof box, etc., as well as a quiet automatic renewal fee, and the withholding of fees to pay for food packages. In particular, older and middle-aged groups in the family do not operate value-added cancellations and are often systematically withheld without knowledge, even though they look at basic channels, they bear additional costs。
This year's new regulations for a new, multi-sectoral free-wielding service have been officially put in place, and the country's wide-ranging and simultaneous introduction of a pro-people adjustment has made it possible not only to provide free access to all three core services: opening, moving and day-to-day maintenance, but also to overhaul the food basket, checking the charges for unrest, clearing the charges and cutting off unreasonable charges. Today, in plain language, you will see in detail the complete change in cable television, each of which is linked to the normal family, so that you can see it with less money and less comfort。
I. How irregular cable charges are when looking back
Prior to this overhaul, the cable-based television billing model had been subject to criticism and seemed to have a modest monthly base viewing fee, but the additional costs were particularly high。
Many young people rent and need new home renovations, and for the first time cable television was opened, separate payments were made for the opening of accounts, door-to-door charges, wiring materials and, in some areas, a deposit on the roof, which was scattered in small parts, with a one-time cost of between tens and hundreds of dollars。
Invisible spending in everyday life is even more inevitable. Family change, change of address with sub-districts, and cable migration, have previously resulted in uniform charges for moving services and higher rates for trans-regional migration. The top box of the television, carton, the ageing of the line, the interruption of the signal, the connection, the maintenance of the door after sale, the cost of door-to-door services, the cost of repairs, the cost of accessories, and the cost of repairing minor problems。
The most disturbing is the issue of the withholding fees. A number of wide-wire platforms have tacitly bound various types of video, art and sports-paying packages, and many older people have accidentally ordered them by mistake, or have an automatic system renewal fee, without a clear reminder or second confirmation and without any knowledge of the monthly withholding of money. To cancel the package, the process is cumbersome and complicated, as well as to line up, and many people feel that trouble can only be endured in silence. There is no uniform standard for fees, local self-price increases, inadequate supervision and, for a long time, cable charges become a high-frequency problem。
Two, twenty-six pounds new rule, three core services free of charge
In order to address the strong public perception of fees and to regulate the public service for radio and television, in 2002 the national system for the upgrading and adjustment of the cost of cable television services was implemented, with the core benefits being free of charge for opening accounts, free of charge for moving machines, free of charge for maintenance, and no extra fees for the entire period, thereby reducing the burden on families。
1. New users open account, with zero additional costs for the entire trip
In accordance with the latest regulations, all broadcasters in the country have been completely eliminated from the one-time charges for the opening of cable television, the installation of machines and the commissioning of lines。
Now, whether new homes are occupied, rented for short periods of time, or rural households are newly equipped with television signals, only the normal base fee is paid for opening operations. Free door-to-door wiring, installation of equipment, debugging signals, free-of-charge installation of base-cost high-cleaning machine roof boxes, no deposit collection, no mandatory binding of value-added operations, and a genuine zero threshold. For households in need and in rural areas, direct savings were made in the upfront installation, and the cost of getting access to daily television was significantly reduced。
2. Transfer of aircraft across the city and move of households at no cost
Previously, many people had been worried about the move of cable televisions, with ordinary co-city transfer charges ranging from $60 to $100, and moving across fragmentation and urban areas, which would continue to increase, with some of the platforms being subject to additional service charges。
The new regulations of 2002 and 2006 provide for the total elimination of cable transfer services and transfer charges. Whether it is a change of house with a small area or a move across the street or across the city, staff members are free to break down, rewire and debug the signal as long as they conduct regular signal migration operations. Even in the case of second-hand house transactions, the processing of wired television transfers, all of which are free of charge online and offline, without any hidden charges, and the frequent change of address, families can save much of their daily expenses。
3. Daily failure maintenance, all civilian repairs free of charge
The ageing of the circuits, the interruption of signals, the malfunctioning of the roof box and the image of carton are common problems in the use of cable television. Prior to the renovation, the failure maintenance for non-anthropogenic damage is charged for door-to-door repairs, replacement accessories are charged separately, and maintenance for human damage is higher。
New service standards are now on the ground and, during normal day-to-day use, all service services are provided free of charge for circuit failure, signal anomaly, roof box base failure. Staff respond 24 hours a day to report, overhaul, commissioning and replacement of basic spare parts at no cost. Only the faults caused by deliberate damage to private retrofitted circuits would result in a reasonable charge for spare parts, which would normally be used in the home and would largely be cost-neutral。
Iii. Rigorous checks of fees, transparent packages, clear consumption white
In addition to the three services being provided free of charge, the biggest change in cable television was a thorough overhaul of the long-standing problem of irregular charges and hidden consumption, so that each fee was clear and transparent and road consumption was eliminated。
First, complete clean-up of all types of bound consumption and compulsory food packages. In the past, many of the operating chambers of commerce have by default bound fees and member packages, and after the new regulations have been laid down, basic public service channels, public view packages, local guards, local people's channels are divided independently, and the basic packages are clean and free. Users are free to choose whether or not to open value-added payment content, without automatic ticking or silent binding。
Second, the mechanism for recognition of deductions should be improved to eliminate uninformed deductions. All fee-paying programmes, value-added packages will have to be manually confirmed by the user twice before they can be launched, with a clear indication of monthly costs and automatic renewal cycles. With a sharp drop-off on the front page of the television, the renewal fee can be cancelled with one key, and older children can easily operate without running off the premises。
At the same time, a number of hidden expenses were eliminated. The eight categories of unreasonable charges, such as the number cut-off rate, the restart fee, the capital fee for smart cards and the depreciation of equipment, were eliminated across the country. For the time being, free-of-charge stoppage without television was possible, and the use of free-of-charge was restored, with great flexibility to facilitate daily use of demand。
Basic fees are also subject to uniform guidance, price ceilings, stabilization of rates, non-attractive price increases for five years, harmonization of local fees, avoidance of arbitrary price increases and private price adjustments, and greater comfort in spending。
Iv. Equipment of individuals and equipment of special groups
This overhaul of cable television not only optimizes fees, but also targets specific groups such as the elderly and low-income families, and introduces an exclusive welfare policy that takes into account the needs of different groups。
Taking into account that older persons are the main users of cable television, the main radio platforms have overhauled their exclusive viewing model, with simple interfaces, font amplification, streamlining of operations, removal of multiplicity of advertisements and bullet windows, and reduction of misdirection of food packages. The circuits and roof boxes are regularly and free of charge for older users, home-to-door guidance services are provided and the habits of older persons are well adapted。
In some areas, basic fee relief or full free payment has been introduced for low-income families, special hardship case workers and elderly persons living alone。
In addition, old sub-districts and rural areas are gradually upgrading their high-resolution signals free of charge, replacing old roof boxes free of charge, improving the visibility and broadcast stability of the images, and providing urban and rural residents with access to public television services of equal quality。
V. Reasonable choice and avoidance of misuse
While cable television services are now free of charge and more standardized, it is important to be careful of the details, to avoid the pits and to enjoy better welfare policies when doing so on a daily basis。
First, formal official channels are recognized for operations. Whether it be the opening of an account, the transfer of an aircraft or the performance of a service, preference is given to the official office, the official customer service hotline and the formal online programme, and no trust is placed in the personal location on the street to avoid private charges。
Second, there is regular self-checking of the set deduction rates. Television settings are opened at regular intervals, subscriptions are viewed, non-required fees are cancelled in a timely manner, and the practice of regular reconciliation of withholding bills is established to prevent withholdings from their root causes。
Third, rational choice of the value-added package. Families that watch only news, television dramas and local channels on a daily basis are able to meet their needs with a basic set of meals, without blindly opening high-cost visual members, paying columns and reducing unnecessary expenses。
Fourth, the right to be defended in a timely manner in case of irregular charges. If there is also an irregular collection of account opening fees, transfer fees, maintenance fees, or forced bunging, malicious withholding fees by staff members, they may retain vouchers, provide feedback to the telebuss, market regulators and defend their legitimate consumer rights and interests。
At the end
The full-scale repositioning of cable television in 2002 was a well-established initiative. The opening of accounts, the transfer of aircraft and the free landing of repairs, the complete overhaul of fees and fees, the transparency of fees and the upgrading of services have both reduced daily usage costs and addressed the consumption pains of many years。
As a basic cultural service on a permanent basis for households, cable television is constantly being upgraded to fit the needs of ordinary people. It is recommended that you be kept informed of the specific local implementation policy, that you plan properly for the use of the package, that you keep your wallet secure and that you watch television with ease。
