Some Shallottc residents who re
ceive cable television through Atl
antic TelcplKtne Membership Corp.
want town officials to use their in
fluence to get the service improved.
Alderman Morris Hall recently
received a petition signed by more
than 100 people who live in his
neighborhood, Bricrwood Estates, or
play golf regularly at Bricrwood.
"What the petition mainly states
is they want better service and they
want to know what the town can do
about it," Hall said, adding that one
of his neighbors started the petition.
Hall said most of the cable TV
customers have told him they wanft
.better service from ATMC. They
want to get rid of the small "boxes"
needed to receive cable, and they
want more stations.

offer more channels when Hall men
tioned the petition at a recoil town
meeting. Harrelson said he'd enjoy a
station that provides news from
Raleigh.
Hall said the biggest complaint
he's heard about Atlantic Telephone
is that the company requires cus
tomers to use cable boxes.
Without two boxes. Hall said you
can't watch one station and video
tape a program on another station.
Also, advanced TV sets with "win
dows" that allow viewers to scan
other stations can't be used without
two boxes.
"Those arc the drawbacks on the
company more than anything else.
The box limits you," Hall said. He
said some cable companies don't re
quire customers to use any boxes.
Hall said the cable TV issue will
be discussed more in July. Town of
ficials plan to invite Atlantic Tele
phone cable representatives to an ment with Atlantic Telephone ex
