Comcrap. I have it for internet to, took them about 10 visits to get someone that actually knew something to fix out internet initially, which added up to about 3 weeks.

None of the above. I do have Foxtel, an Australian pay TV provider. It's worth Rupert getting my money if I can watch basketball and don't have to put up with all the reality shows that dominates Australian free-to-air TV.

Where's the love for a very popular Canadian satellite dish? I use Bell ExpressVu. I got the special PVR model (Personal Video Recorder) where it works in the same way as a TiVo :D

Even though you said you were sorry it was too late. You totally crossed the line. Anyways, at least I don't have guys pictures hanging around.

looks like a female bodybuilder by the pose...

anyway, I got Rogers Digital Cable. It's kind of expensive, but there are a lot of really good channels (almost 800). The only problem I have is that there are no good recent movie channels like TMN, only PPV channels. I mostly watch the Super Sports Pack. Its an extra $4.99 a month, but its definitely worth it. I get MLB extra Innings (every baseball game of the year), All 5 Rogers Sportsnet channels (which covers most NBA games), NHL Network (excellent classic games), ESPN Classic canada (more excellent classic games from all sports), Raptors TV (NBDL & summer league games are cool, plus lots of classic games), Leafs TV (tons of coverage and lots of classic games), NFL Network (porbably best run individual sports channel I've seen) plus about 30 more dedicated Live sports channels. Included with those is the MLB Extra Innings, NFL Sunday Ticket, NHL Centre Ice, and then some racing package and another one with a bunch of NCAA coverage.

That's pretty much all I need, and it only cost me about $32 a month (and its legal).

If I'm not mistaken, that's his gf. I could be wrong though. It's not the first time the photo has been adressed.

Oh, I have Canal Plus, if that counts as anything.

lol, you're not really the first one to say this, if you had heard of Canal+ before I'd call you unoriginal but's you don't have it over there. Anyway, I originally was going to look for some graphics that dutch people made with the Canal+ logo but Anal+ instead, but I forgot that google wouldn't only give me that kind of stuff when I searched for "anal plus" :lol:

That's really funny. Here in Minnesota in Duluth there is a park called Canal Park right on the water and one of the hotels is Canal Park Inn but the lightbulb for the C was burnt out so it was Anal Park Inn.

The Foxtel IQ sounds pretty cool but I don't really want to pay more than I am right now, so I'm giving it a miss.

Yeah, I was thinking it's a female bodybuilder, too.

Man, that's really cheap, $32 a month. I'm assuming you're only paying for the basic and sports package? I've got all the sports channels you listed, but with Bell, I think the NFL Sunday Ticket and Leafs TV are separate charges. It probably helps to live in Ontario :)
