Cable TV

[Lady fisher]

Cable TV. Is getting crazy.
I was paying $110 a month for TV and internet. ........that is more than natural gas heating a month
More than the electrical bill per month
Do we need 700 channels

I signed up for the skinny package +. 10. Channels and internet for $80 a month a better deal or is it just a teaser so you get get less and for the cable company's to raise the prices next year

Get internet from teksavvy for 67 taxes in and an android box. All the movies and tv shows you can handle for 67$ a month. And best part is, no god damn commercials!

Your life is better without cable TV.

Your life is better without cable TV.

Amen to that. Saving the money is the very thin icing on the cake. I'm two years in and enjoying the extra time to read, exercise, or actually talk with friends & loved ones. My only concession is spending $20/month on Sling TV for my relatives who visit and want ESPN.

Does an Android Box get live sports, e.g. TSN, Sportsnet?

I left the bigger companies a couple years back and don't regret it. I hated the awful customer service, and I was paying a lot without getting much in return.
I'm now with VMedia. Their customer service is fantastic, but they do run a lot of updates, so I have to reboot often. I like having at least basic cable, and I don't care enough to go through the hassle of switching again so I deal with rebooting.

Its the constant commercials that drive me nuts.
For every 40 minutes of airtime there are around 20 minutes of commercials. Way too much!!

Only time I watch TV now is for sports or breaking news

I watch most everything with sports devil, lots of soccer games internationally. You can get some sportsnet.

just found out that my cable package to get TSN it's. $3 more per month and is classed as 2 channels and does not get the blue jays baseball and in order to get that it's on another channel called sports one which is another $1 a month so my skinny package is gaining weight again in the Cogecos bank account

And I am almost 100% sure my internet fees will be going up soon

These prices are great compared to Rogers. I'm paying $24.99 to get the basic package, not optional if you want any "theme" package(s). $18 to get Sportsnet which is needed if you want Jays and most Leaf games (no TSN). $5 to get CP 24 and BNN (no CNN).

I've decided to go the aerial route for the local channels. I'll be buying an HD Antenna this summer and installing it. With my android box I watch pretty much all the shows I want. The only thing I need to figure out is live sports. The android box sucks for that or I simply can't find the right links. Either way that's what I am missing out on right now and I'd like some suggestions.

 

[newtohobby]

anybody recommend a android box? I want one for my mother, maybe mostly with oriental content? thx

Can you get CP 24 and/or BNN?

I just signed up with Bell for business account. The business account include internet+fibeTV for $75 plus tax on a 3 year contract. The business expense with these two items will be cut in half for me. But the catch is that after 3 years the cost of having these will jump by...100% ! LOL!
You will have the option to jump ship from Bell,though.
