Anti-Virus Product Launched

Mitchell Telecom now offers VIPRE ANTI-VIRUS, which brings customers the right mix of security technology with the best protection available. This service is built for computer users that need the ultimate online security protection, but aren't technology experts. 

Once you complete the quick self-install the software monitors and protects your computer without having to continually update the service.  The service stays in place (and up to date) for as long as you keep the service – VIPRE removes the guesswork by ensuring you have everything you need to stay protected online.

Our two pricing plans offer options for users that just need to protect themselves as well as those that have to an entire house of computers to worry about.

-          Single Computer Install: $4.00/month (Covers a single PC or Laptop)

-          Multi-Computer Install: $5.00/month (Covers up to three PCs or Laptops)

Go Kernels!

Happy Friday Kernel Fans! We were unable to get permission to bring you a copy of the internet feed over our cable system for tonight's big match-up in Sioux Falls. The best I can offer is a link to the webcast.

This option is from the Argus Leader and includes a chat with their sport's reporter - http://www.argusleader.com/section/washhssports

This feed comes from the Sioux Falls School District - http://media.sf.k12.sd.us/live_washington.php

With either of the above options, I'd suggest pairing the coverage with the play-by-play styling of either of our crack radio stations in town - http://www.kmit.com/ or http://www.1490korn.com/ - GO KERNELS!

In addition to the streaming options, we have a couple local options on our local content channels. We'll feature Kernel Wrestling (vs Yankton) on our flagship Channel 90 at 7:30 and a half-hour earlier, you can tune into Marlin Hockey action on our overflow Channel 91.

Tomorrow will be a jammed pack day of hoops. We have a DWU / MHS Boys Tripleheader on Channel 90 starting at 1PM. We'll also punch through an Internet feed from the MHS Girls trip to Aberdeen on Channel 91 starting at 7:30.

Marlins Intro

It turns out that our professional "trouble fixer" leads a double life as an amateur video producer between trouble calls at our office. No word yet on which version is his Spiderman and which is merely Peter Parker, but our very own, Chris, put this intro together for our Marlins coverage on Channel 90. It'll make it's debut this weekend with four Marlin games on the schedule and set to air Saturday and Sunday. See what you think...

 

We need your opinion

Could you help us out? We're looking for some insight into how people in the area feel about home monitoring and automation as a service for lack of a better name we're calling 'SMART HOME.' 

We have tested potential product and service offerings that, for instance, could keep an eye on your sump pump and alert you when it's not working properly. Perhaps, it's a sensor that tells you when you left your garage door open too long, or maybe it is a camera that keeps an eye on your front door and snaps photos of people coming and going. So, THAT broad range of services is what we're defining as smart home.

Now, this is where you come in - we've developed a short survey to see what areas potential customers would prioritize over the rest. In other words, we're hoping you tell us which way to go next.  You can chime in here - http://survey.constantcontact.com/survey/a07e6ndm2t4h9kdrmif/start .

Thanks!

More Channels Now Available

Your access to local content just quadrupled. Mitchell Telecom has partnered with our parent company, Santel Communications, to bring their local content into the Mitchell community. Santel has worked with four school districts in their service area (Parkston, Wolsey, Tripp-Delmont and Woonsocket) to set up local programming that originates from each of the high schools. Similar to our Channel 90, a big chunk of that coverage happens to be high school sporting events and I've included a schedule for the winter months below.

The new channels can be found in our digital package on Channels 101 (Parkston), 102 (Wolsey), 103 (Tripp), and 104 (Woonsocket). The channels along with the game schedule has been added to your digital guide - check there for complete information on dates and times.
