Why bother? Well, for a whole bunch of reasons.
- It's free. I pay nothing. Comes in over the cable. Don't need a converter due the QAM tuner in my TV.
- I get a lot more channels than I could with an OTA antenna (I think).
- Quality seems good most days. Just a nuisance lately with all the channel changes. Are you telling me that CBC is 720p rather than 1080i OTA?
- I don't have to scurry around a rooftop or spend time researching and buying materials.
- I can't get line of site to Mount Seymour from where I am.
But hey! it's free unlike Rogers so I'm not going to complain too much. It's a nuisance only because when I rescan the channels on my TV, I lose all my custom labels on the channels and I have to go through and disable all the music channels.
I rescanned. Here's the latest.
