But of course they dont let you just have those 4 or 5 networks.

Now that you mention it, when I checked BellAliant's new skinny package, those networks weren't included.

It seemed odd because in past years whenever I was comparing, I never found a minimum package that didn't include ABC, NBC and CBS.

I prefer Telus, tried Shaw but that includes internet too as i always bundle, Shaw speeds i found vary like crazy as its a shared connection where as Telus speed seems constant.
Telus also streams 3D movies on their video on demand, just need a 3D TV to watch them.
I use a Raspberry Pi mostly now so when i called to shut down my cable they offered to let me keep it at $5 per month for their basics but i still have access to video on demand so i kept it so still bundled.

All you need is Internet, Unotelly and Kodi.

Ooh and a normal ariel if you really must watch Canadian tv. You get 4 or 5 HD quality channels with it.

I agree. What is best add-on that you use? Just trying Exodus which seems good enough as a replacement for Genesis- just realised the biblical links:cool:

Phoenix for football. Exodus, Genesis, cliq, channel 1. BBC iplayer and the the other bbc version, wwwbbciplayer (or what ever its called). I tend to have back ups for the various problems you encounter usually after they've made changes to the websites that Kodi scrapes from. Ive got it on a MX3 box and recently installed on a Windows 7 old laptop.

For some reason Genesis began playing up real bad recently so i booted it and replaced it with Exodus which is virtually identical anyway, Genesis seemed to slowly stop working, very odd ? I have a TV app that lets me watch most UK TV and some american/Canadian, i'll have to look and see what its called tonight, its something like Flv TV or close to that. It wont decode sky TV though lol

We have Novus. Pretty fast internet and decent tv for about $130 per month.

The app I use for TV is called Ftv Guide. For those that have Kodi etc just do a quick search. Be warned there are some adult channels too

If its so simple why do we have multiple different answers :lol:

If I get X & X is it legal? What if I do it this way is that legal? Who cares if its legal or not? So simple TV isn't all that simple given the plethora of choices legal or not.

You are quite right, the waters I think are very muddy. As long as Snoop gets off my case with regard to warning emails then I'm a happy pup
