Dear Valued Customer,
We're reaching out to share updates regarding recent changes HBO has made to it's channel lineup. Some of which occurred without prior notice to providers like Fibernow.
HBO-Cinemax Channels Taken off Air
HBO has discontinued several multiplex channels as part of a business strategy shift. The channels that have been removed from the lineup include:
HBO Family
ThrillerMax
MovieMax
OuterMax
These decisions were made directly by HBO and are outside of Fibernow's control. We understand that changes like this can be frustrating, and we remain committed to keeping you informed.
Where to watch HBO Content Now
HBO has confirmed that all content previously available on the discounted channels is still accessible via the HBO Max App, which is available on most streaming devices including Fibernow's set-top boxes as well as mobile devices and smart TVs.
If you are currently subscribed to HBO, you already have access to HBO Max at no additional cost. If you need help logging in, please reach out to our support team.
Rebranding & Name Changes of HBO-Cinemax Channels
In addition to the removals, HBO will be renaming in early September several of its remaining channels. These updates will be reflectedin your on-screen guide once completed.
Members and residents have been noticing the poor visual conditions of many of our lakes and canals. While this can be thought of as a “seasonal & natural” occurrence, we find it as intolerable as those residents that have expressed their concerns.
As always, each expression of concern we attempt to provide an update of why this is occurring and what the POA Board and Management will do about the conditions…..many times we have come up short in eliminating or at least providing any level of comfort that the conditions are under control. Nothing could be further from the actual facts.
Before providing the short term fix, allow me to share information gained from Lake Worth Water District as recently as Thursday August 20, 2025. “Lake Worth Water is not in position to provide any additional water from the canals which feed River Bridge waterways until sufficient rainfall occurs”….Due to this position, we can plan for low water levels in the near future unless there is major rainfall in the foreseeable future.
Please consider the following as an update to remedy the situation first on a short term basis, followed by brief comment which will lead to full time solution which can and will lead to the full time solution which can and will be managed by lake maintenance vendor.
---Effective Monday, August 25, 2025 an outside vendor will begin work on site to complete a full property lakeshore clean up. This will include the cut down of any trees on owners’ lots which have fallen over into the lake or canal. This is usually the responsibility of the homeowner, given the tree is actually planted on the property outside the waterway, but will be cut down at the lakeshore, cut into sections and removed. Brush and roots will be cut and removed as well.
This is a one-time POA move and thereafter homeowners are expected to perform cutting and removal of the trees and brush as needed.
----Following the shoreline clean up, a second off site vendor will introduce a piece of equipment which will skim the entire surface of those lakes which have been identified as “hot spots” and the primary origin of the green algae complaints. This exercise will be repeated as necessary.
The long term solution to these conditions will of course be the welcome addition of “normal” rainfall, combined with lake maintenance provided on announced schedule aimed at these areas in which algae has historically harbored.
Please be aware that these unacceptable conditions are of same concern at both Board and Management levels. We understand your concerns and believe we’ve put into place a corrective action plan to provide the correct solutions under these conditions as described. The current weather conditions appear to be in place for some extended times.
Management will monitor and provide updates as we move through the above processes. We thank all who have communicated their feelings and anticipate the corrective actions taken will provide you all have been requesting.
Respectrully,
Bill Neel, POA Property Manager
