It seemed to me, when I looked at it earlier this week, that there is much better stuff available now in Canada. It's never going to show recently made blockbusters until such movies have run their course at movie houses or on DVDs. All in all I think it's a pretty good service for the money.

This week I watched Secretariat because I enjoy seeing horses and Harry Brown because I enjoy Michael Caine. Neither were Oscar material but then very few ever are.

For $2 per month, it's great value

Currently working through Ballykissangel and Michael Palin's Himalaya.

Enjoying both. J

Just watched THE WAY BACK with Ed Harris and Colin Farrell. I would say at least 3.5/5.

For nostalgia tv it's gotta be yes minister/ prime minister

An absolute classic

For classic telly it doesn't get any better than On the Buses, Love Thy Neighbour and Jamaican Me Horny.

I don't think netflix carries films by seymour butts.

I must have missed that series. Was it anything like Desmonds?

I can't believe people still pay for telly.....I have 2 antennaes ( uhf and vhf hi-def ) on a tower attached to the house, and I pull in 15 HD channels ( cbc eng&french, city, sun, pbs(6 of them ), omni et al ) and a buch of analogue channels for a total of 40 channels

I think you should start a thread with some pictures of your aerials and how you did it.

I can't believe that people assume that everyone lives in a dwelling where that is possible.

Here are some pics of the install

We know people in Condos in T.O that have antennas on their balconies on a tripod. So what is your other exuse?

Oh....I also live in the city, in a subdivision. So what is your point?

All that effort and eye sore to save a few $'s to watch TV?

Not sure the strata board would let me have that set up. And I don't think you can get Setanta for the footy.
