Which television provider to pick NF

[Hooked]

Anyone here have a preference to which television provider has the best packages\prices? ie. Bell Expressvu, Star Choice, Cogeco?

Was thinking of getting those 'other' satellites, but the wife is not too keen on em. Would appreciate your input.

I've tried Bell Express View and the Cogeco digital package and I didn't really care for either considering the price. I thought the movie channels would be a lot better than they were, but the movies are mostly lame and repeat a lot, so now I just have the regular 62 channels through Cogeco which suits me fine.

 

For the last month though, I've been watching TV mostly through the internet. I discovered VeohTV (from www.veoh.com) so I hooked my old computer up to my big screen and watch "TV" through the internet. I have a remote control that cost me $40 for my computer and I surf the web for videos, movies, tv shows, etc. all from the comfort of my couch. Believe it or not, I think internet television is going to be huge. I mean, just using this veohTV thing, which is brand new, I already have over 200 channels of on demand video for free. The only thing you need is a broadband internet connection.

 

O yea, I'm a website designer so naturally I'm a computer geek.

Well I'm with Express Vu and if I could I would change, they want to charge me another 90 buck to get a second sattelite so I can get WFN...sorry, as much as I want that channel, I'm not spending another 90 bucks for it. On the upside, I don't lose the signal too often. I have used Star Choice several years ago, but had nothing but problems, especially with the Pay-Per-View, they could have fixed it now though. If I could, I'd do the cable thing in a heartbeat.

You could get basic bell sub-tell installer your thinking of adding a second receiver in basement/kids room so wire it now.

 

Get a cheap FTA receiver, $150....install on the 2nd line and watch $150 of porn in first week so systems paid for

The best provider is my VHF/UHF antenna.

 

VHF = $10

UHF= $10

roof Tripod = $10

monthly charge =$0

 

Total cost = $30

amount of time saved by not watching as much TV cause of the crappy channel selection = priceless
