Re: [TV] Downgrade to AnalogueI'm still researching ways to view a similar channel set from an alternate source - like a dish with two tuners. My Extended Basic Plan with Rogers has a few channels I want to maintain - like Turner Classic and Space. Will they be kept if I attach their digital box? I don't know. Their letter requesting that I drive to a store and pick up the box lacked such information. Here's the Extended Basic line-up for Ajax/PineRidge as of Jan 12, 2012.

My channel lineup here in London looks very similar to yours - about a dozen channels are in different locations, you seem to have 2 shopping channels (we don't have ShopTV Canada). I don't think we get BET either.
What are you paying for that package?
Im paying $69.65 (total cost including all taxes). I have that analog-only package, nothing digital, I rent no boxes or other equipment from Rogers. |

My Extended Basic Rogers package will go to $67.72, starting March, from the current $64.68. The basic service will be $38.04 from $36.01. Since about 1977, cable rates have gone from about 33 cents a day to about $2.40 (extras and taxes on top). Granted, there are more channels (some of which I watch), and the picture is good except for a couple of low analogue channels. But I've tried my over the air tuner with rabbit ears, and the signal is pretty good. Here, on the edge of Lake Ontario, there appear to be enough channels to interst me in switching to free tv. With a tower and antenna rotor, I'm thinking more American signals will get through. |

You can always use channel block for the BET channel. That's what i do. I'd like to pretend the GD channel didn't exist in the first place. |
