Take a look. I used to feel sorry for people on Delta Cable! Now I'm envious. Guess I should move ;-)

It looks good, but overall are you going to save money? Won't you have to pay to install, new boxes, etc. Their bundle is very close to Shaw's.

I'm looking at the selection. Numerous HD channels not even available on Shaw.

It really doesn't take much to beat Shaw, as their HD offering is well known as a complete joke, but Delta just makes Shaw look bad. On top of that, it's only an additional $6.95!

Forget Shaw, that makes EVERYONE else look bad. Wow, what a nice set of bundles.

DTVGuy · 2012-02-06, 11:57 PM

Agreed. It's too bad that Delta is a Vancouver only deal.

Spud387 · 2012-02-07, 07:26 AM

Technically its only a Tsawwassen/Ladner/North Delta deal. I currently live in Ladner, but am moving out to Surrey. Trust me, Delta does have its disadvantages. The price is good cause their service is quite splotchy.

Didn't know CBS Sports Network was carried in Canada!
$6.95 + CBC Newsworld HD included? Sign me up!
But I don't live in Delta

CBC NW, MUCH, SPIKE, SUN TV, W MOVIES, OWN, RAPTORS, DOCUMAENTRY, BOLD

9 HD CHANNELS that shaw doesn't carry

Actually, Delta's lineup is almost a carbon copy of what Eastlink carries on the East Coast and some parts of Ontario, with the exception of some local stations and a different premium movie service. Even the channel numbers are the same.

Yes, the lineups of both Delta Cable and Eastlink are excellent, and the only major omissions are some of the Bell Media channels, such as Space HD, Bravo HD, and Discovery HD.

Plus radx, HIFI, eqhd, TCM HD, a high definition PBS timeshift and Canadian HD timeshifts. I counted approximately 20.

Makes sense as I see "an Eastlink Company" under Delta cable's logo on their site.
