Thank you for choosing Charter Communications
This document details the steps a property manager should take to install Digital Transport Adapters (DTAs). DTAs are small,
digital devices that will allow TVs to show programming delivered by Charter’s digital network. Any TVs that are not connected to
a digital device (either a DTA or other digital receiver) will not be able to view programming from Charter’s network.
DTAs that are connected to Charter’s network will remain active. However, when a DTA is disconnected from the network, it will
timeout after 30 days and require remote activation from Charter when it is reconnected to the network.
This DTA install process should take approximately 10 minutes per device. Please contact Customer Care at
1-800-314-7195
with
any questions.
