What High Def feed do you use?

luminous · 06-03-2007, 04:28 AM

Just wondering what every one is using.
what they like and don't like about their service.
Are you still using it only because you paid for a Box?
How Quick do they get new channels?
Etcetera Etcetera

We have 2 Bell HD receivers and 1 FTA HD receiver and GO DUCKS GO no way do I want a Euro captain on any NHL team to win the cup. Not even Koivu the captain of my favourite team.

I'm not in Canada, but I use OTA only. I had Directv once and have seen cable and I am not impressed with the HD Lite at all. I also had Voom before they went belly up and must say that service was as good as OTA. The Dish version is not nearly as good, imo.

Rogers.

OTA. In Toronto, I receive CBC, CBC French, CTV, City, SUN, ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS (3 channels, 1 HD), CW, FOX, MyTV. With OMNI ( 2 channels) returning, the investment in the 4228 antenna was a no brainer. Still have Rogers basic cable for the channels not on the above list; however, except for the Jays, I can watch the OTA channels and catch all that I need.

Not bad when living in a valley with lots of trees in the way!!

On Montreal's West Island.

OTA only via UHF antenna.

CBS(HD), NBC(HD), Fox(HD), The CW (SD), 6 different PBS channels (PBS-HD*, VPT, CreateTV, PBS-World, MLPBS, ThinkBrightTV). I also receive 2 weather channels, one from the CBS station and the other from the NBC station

ABC HD is on VHF with a very weak signal which I cannot pick up.

CBC, SRC and TQS are all on air in HD on UHF channels but they are not receivable on West Island because of the "temporary" downtown location of their transmission towers. The signals are blocked by Mount Royal. When they move to their intended Mount Royal tower location they will be available on the West Island. However, I recieve the analogue broadcasts of all of Montreal's stations.

* 2 feeds of this: 1 from VPT and one from MLPBS.

Shaw cable. Very pleased with their service.

MG537 · 03-02-2008, 06:08 AM

As far as I know (or more like care) the channels missing on their repertoire are MMore HD and MPix HD. No word as to when they'll be offering these. Anyone out there know?

Mark9 · 03-03-2008, 12:55 PM

I'm in a condo. No other choice other than ROGERS. (Toronto) On a free service for one year. 4250HD box (hdmi) + 20 HD channels. Pretty happy with selection.
