Re: [AB] Cost effectiveness being evaluated

said by ilianame:

TV is atrocious.

Now that most channels are owned by Shaw, Bell and Rogers it's getting ridiculous on the commercials side:

Most of the channels are now synced commercials.
So we pay our TV providers outrageous prices for service hookup, and considering 30% of supplied content are commercials, the same companies who are also content providers are double-penetrating us.

The channel packs are an insult to your intelligence,
every single pack is built around one core-popular channel and a bunch of no-one-ever-heard-of-or-can-enjoy-ever bogus broadcasts.

There's no reason to pay for TV... I think I'm close to cutting it...

I must agree with this, the commercials are out of control at times and the packages are getting to pricey.

I will agree with this as well.

I was asking a Shaw rep about adding the missing HD channels from HD Plus (Space, Discovery, and Bravo), it is cheaper, and have way less commericals to add the 5 Movie Central channels (think it is 5 now).

5 commerical free channels, is cheaper than 3 commerical filled ones.....
