Many condominium complexes and hotels in Park City only have "Basic" cable service with about 35 channels, that mostly cover just the major networks and local and shopping channels. (See below). However, the Park City Townhomes enjoy "Expanded" cable, via a rebuilt Comcast digital cable system in the city, with over 70 channels that include the more popular and premium offerings. The additional channels available on all TVs in the townhomes, which are not accessible via Basic cable, are:

For a complete list of the the respective offerings for all channels, please see the Channel LineUp. The channels included in the townhomes include Basic, Expanded Basic and HBO Premium. They do not include other Premium, Digital Extra or Digital Plus channels. However, before this page may be changed, a High-Speed Internet connection could be included (when it finally becomes available) that will also add 40 Music channels, which can be played through the stereo system, and over a dozen Digital Classic channels. (Please ask us about this status.)
The cable offerings at the townhomes let you stay connected with the domestic and world events, which may be especially important to you for a stay of several days. Also, if you have children, the Family Channels can be important to help keep the kids entertained. In addition, if you are planning a trip during the football, basketball or baseball seasons, don't miss the big games! Further, you can view some excellent movies, stay current with HBO programs, learn about the weather to help plan your trip, and if your visit is during Sundance, you may even see yourself on E!. Finally, be sure to review the DVD & video libraries (in Unit 254) that give you even more alternatives. Don't compromise your trip by staying in accommodations that keep you from being properly informed and entertained!
