Either he means people with the tools to open up the coax demarc and hook up the analog TV or is talking about grey market FTA.

If you're asking about how to break the law and get free cable, I would recommend going elsewhere. Otherwise, check out OTA antennas and the free HD broadcasts they enable.

And there are NO other cable companies than the one registered to serve any given area. So, in Toronto, it's Rogers or nobody.

Now, there are some private arrangements with other providers in apartment blocks and MURBs but they are ONLY within that block or MURB. Serving anyone else would create all manner of lawsuits for the building management.

Your other options are satellite or IPTV, but those also cost money and may/may not be available in your area.

If you can live without Live HD sports games, you can probably live with using a solution like this: »freetoronto.tv/ + free or cheap internet TV via Netflix, Hulu, Crackle, and dozens of other similar legal sites. Use a service like Unblock-us to access all US content.

It will save you a lot of money in the long run.
