Pick and Pay

Had to be a base to start from.
I add and subtract channels from Bell Sat within hours of my online changes, even before this law.

At this early point, I don't see the difference between the December 1st rollout vs the Mrach 1st rollout.
I thought it is now possible to just pick individual channels but it depends. If the channel you want is part of a group, you have to buy the group.

I looked into it with Bell and I didn't like the option. Like Rogers, there is a base price and it only went up with what I wanted. By up, I mean it went way up, so I just got the best package they had so that I could have lots of channels I don't watch and will never watch, but pay about what I would have for the pick your own package, so that I have the few channels I want.

I switched back to a package which was previously offered and got more channels for less
and I got the latino channel which was a premium channel stand alone other wise

How do you watch Blue Jays, Leafs, football games and CP24 with no cable?
I confess I am still in the 20th century when it comes to technology. How does Iptv work? You need a computer, a TV, high speed internet and........? Also, what is the cost for this service compare to cable?
IPTV provides access to 100's of tv channels worldwide, including PPV. I run it through an android box, but you could set it up to run on your pc connected to your tv. I pay $40 every 3 months.
Who do you pay the $40 to? Also, I heard you need at least unlimited data and 10 mbs Internet. How much are you paying for Internet and to whom (Rogers, Bell?)? How is the image quality in IPTV?
There are scores of service providers for IPTV on Kijiji - just do a search. I would suggest at least 10 Mb internet, but I'm sure it would work with 5 Mb....just slower loading times. I have 50 Mb service from Bell. Unlimited data isn't necessary, unless you plan on watching TV 24/7. I would estimate about 150 GB/month for TV usage (I use less, but I'm away a lot). Picture quality is very good. There's currently only one 4K channel.
I did a search and there are quite a few IPTV providers. May I ask which one(s) you would recommend?
BTW: I heard that Rogers expects to be able to offer IPTV in December.
Bell has had an IPTV offering for years, but it's basically the same as their cable offering, and ~50/mo IIRC. I doubt that CRTC regulations will allow for the variety that is currently available, which is why Rogers and Bell are trying to sue the IPTV re-sellers.
Rogers and Bell are behind the IPTV. Rogers is behind Zazeen TV, and Bell is with Vmedia. The only reason Bell is going after Vmedia us because they are offering channels without buying the boxes. As long as they're using the boxes then Bell is good with it.
I was with zazeen for over a year, was quite happy until they started charging for all their sports stations. Which I used to get in my package. It was gonna cost me almost 60 dollars more a month just to get my sports fix.
I switched to Vmedia a couple months ago and so far I'm happy with them. 100 stations and unlimited internet for 99 a month. Plus their box is an Android box so Kodi cones preloaded on it. No need for a PVR. No more PPV charges.
