TDS TV+: 

Wireless TDS TV+ Receiver signal quality/range may vary depending on interference, obstructions, and home construction. If signal quality/range is not sufficient, 

additional wiring may be required. A minimum of one receiver and a maximum of ten receivers are allowed per account. Compatible equipment is required, and in order 
to use the TDS TV+ Receiver over Wi-Fi, you must have a wireless router with 802/11ac Wi-Fi. Normal fees apply. All prices, packages and programming subject to change 
without notice. Some channels are not available in all areas. Sports programming is subject to in-market availability and blackouts. Streams are utilized and provisioned over 
your internet connection. Bandwidth may restrict the resolution and the number of concurrent TV streams delivered to home; impacting the number of programs a customer 
can watch at the same time. Customers electing Standalone TDS TV+ service will be limited to 5 streams over TDS TV+ Receivers before video signal is impacted. Equipment 
provided by TDS must be returned upon termination of service or unreturned equipment charges will apply. Return shipping charges may apply. TDS TV+ may not be available 
at all TDS service locations. 

Cloud DVR 

functionality is included with TDS TV+ and requires a TDS TV+ Receiver and optional monthly DVR storage fee. Downgrading DVR storage 

or recording content without available storage will result in deleted recorded content. When content is deleted it will be based on the oldest recorded content first, unless 
specified to keep ‘as long as possible.’ All content, even content marked ‘as long as possible,’ will automatically be deleted as space is needed for new recordings. Based on 
network requirements a limited number of network recordings will expire automatically after 90 days from the date it was recorded. A limit of 10 programs can be recorded 
simultaneously.
