Sooo, in what way will Teksavvy use this company? Or how will it effect us for possible software in the future maybe? Or are they just getting bigger and having multiple sources of income so they can afford to run fiber directly to my home

Also have you guys decided on what your going to do with that cable tv company you bought? I would be interested in knowing what you plan on doing with the current internet offerings and how you will make it better. Maybe provide FTTH in that area?

I hope Marc is thinking outside the centre of the universe for IPTV deployment. AB and BC comes to mind. Oh, and don't forget the à la carte adult channels.

Did they actually "buy" it? Looks like a partnership to me...

a CABLE company... is it Rogers /sarcasm maybe cogeco, well i would not call Cogeco a cable company, more like an ISP if anything. i don't think anyone in the oakville dundas/ninth line area has Cogeco for TV... it is all Bell satelite, and cogeco for internet i mean.

seriously, if teksavvy is going IPTV, please think of 4K tv infrastructure ahead of time ... or at the minimum a 4k/15Mbps pay-per-view movies.

i wish bell's fibe would do this... not much chance with the wireless tv boxes

I don't think I'm going to be able to stick around and wait for an Teksavvy IPTV solution. I'm now paying $106 a month to Bell TV with no specialty channels. It seems to go up 5-10% a year. As soon as vmedia gets TLC (sticking point for the wife) I'm likely going to switch.

They effectively bought it. It's under "common control" with TekSavvy, which basically means that Marc owns both Hastings CableVision and TekSavvy, rather than Marc owning TekSavvy which owns Hastings CableVision.

4K is not gonna happen over the top. They have a hard enough time with the rates as it is.

Cable/Sat can't even do 1080p, let alone 4K...

Cable and Satellite TV providers could easily offer 1080p or 4k content. It really boils down to 2 things (assuming always on, and not on-demand):

1. how much spectrum you want to burn for that single 4k channel (either transponder space on the satellite or QAM space on the cable network)
2. there isn't any 4k content that i've seen that is available from any broadcasters that are licensed in Canada.

In terms of IPTV its pretty straight forward since there are no consumed bandwidth resources until someone actually watches the channel. At that point you need to make sure your end user has enough capacity (ie. hopefully on FTTH and not on VDSL)

I know they CAN do it, but why they havent made at least 1080p available, its been standard for home TV's for how many years now. Now 4K is coming out and they don't even have the previous technology available.

They already tried FTTH with »www.lhnet.ca

Apparently that changed though...

Not to spoil the party, but I'm pretty sure Bell has 1080p PPV content.

Yeah that wouldn't surprise me, since I think one of the US Sat companies also does it for PPV or On Demand stuff.

But its largely irrelevant in grand scheme of things, I care about the regular channels, not PPV/On Demand which I don't watch or pay extra for.
