Nothing is free or included any more... I wish they would build digital terminals into TV's already, because it's pretty sad that you pay for a TV, then pay for something that lets you watch TV, then pay for the program guide so you can pick a show to watch, then pay for the channels you watch... bleh.

I'm seriously considering cutting back my TV services.  I don't like how I'm paying over a hundred bucks to see shows repeated on 10 channels, having rogers change the channels around to absolute retardedness, PVR programming guide that works sporadically on my wonderfully slow connection.

I'm glad my money is buying new astroturf and videoscreens for baseball--a sport that's unbearable without vast quantities of beer.

Yeah i agrees with you totally there.

I just cut back from 350 channels to 60. Mind you this is Saskatel, not rogers.

But thats just another way to make money for rogers. they give you the free rental, then you have to get more channles, or a higher priced package = more money for them.

This digital stupidness isnt worth it, programs cut out, your chanel guide goes all wack. Save your money and your sanity.
