Re: TV programmes help needed

You can buy a PVR here you know for around $200 that work with the cable providers . I pay for all the channels works out to 70 bucks a month on rogers. high speed it $40 and $30 for the phone...

Still not change then. I had Cogeco once when I live in Eastern ON. It's was awful. I remember if you had a prob it would take over 2 hours to talk someone. that was like 8 years ago now and they didn't have highspeed unless you lived a mile from their transmitter.
