What We Do

Besides offering customized satellite-cable TV service, Washington Cable also upgrades and maintains building master antenna television systems.  Washington Cable currently maintains the master antenna systems in a number of high-rise rental, condominium and cooperative apartment buildings in Southwest and Northwest Washington.


Call Us Today!

If your building master antenna system is not yet able to receive digital broadcasting, we can upgrade the equipment so that older TV sets can receive the local channels as well as the newer HDTV sets.

Please contact us anytime! We look forward to hearing from you.
