?We are continuing to add value for our customers by expanding the selection on two of our most popular digital add-on packages, HBO and Cinemax,? says Alan Smith, assistant general manager of Bermuda CableVision.

?These are sure-to-please selections that appeal to a wide variety of viewers, and we have already had very positive initial customer response to our decision to add these channels.?

Effective immediately, customers who subscribe to the HBO Tier at $14 per month will now receive three additional channels for no extra fee: HBO Family, HBO Signature and HBO Latino.

?HBO Signature? on channel 302 is geared to appeal to ?today?s sophisticated woman?, and includes a mix of HBO original movies and hit theatrical movies, documentaries and HBO original series.
