Viewers' satellite, cable cost going up

[Sniper Jr.]

Rogers is fast to mark a "tax" as a tax, but they should be so quick to mark the "Rogers needs to make 30% profit on this" line somewhere on the bill.

I would LOVE to see a bill where Rogers had to detail the actual breakdown of costs on the bill. There would be a huge drop in prices when they figured out they can't charge $8 for a package that only costs them $1.40 to acquire.

I find Rogers generally to be a very slimy company in the way they communicate with their customers. This 1.5% charge is not really even a tax... Rogers is required to contribute 1.5% of their revenue to the new fund, and they have chosen to pass the cost along to customers in a way that's obviously intended to shift the blame to the CRTC.

Yeah, it would be interesting to see them try to justify all their other charges the way they're justifying this one.

There is an ongoing debate of which is better. But to each his own I guess. I c cant speak for Kbox, which is currently getting All channels, but I believe their current solution is just a workaround.
Nfusion is getting pretty much all channels except ppv and some Intl. They've been pretty consistent , every once in a while new channels open up. PM me if you want to know a good forum

There is also the option of OTA.
