hell no.

I emailed them asking about HDTV and got their wonderful cookie-cutter answer that they sent me a few months ago.

I <moderator snip> hate that company.

Me thinks it is time to go Express Vu.

methinks your wrong.

Why?
1./ New $2.99 a month "system" fee.
2./ New last year $4.99 or $2.99 Multi-Receiver fee
3./ Recent Price Increases.
4./ Nimiq 2 problems

The reality is that it's cheap to leave cable. Just Cancel.

Leaving satellite is expensive because not one buys your equipment back and you can't rent a BEV receiver and the 6000 for HDTV isn't cheap!

Hugh. Spend an afternoon at my place in front of a tv with Cogeco Digital cable and you'll be slitting your wrists.

It's a painful experience. Price really isn't the issue. The software used on that box is horrible. Plus you have no HD content. Time shifting is a new concept at Cogeco but at lease we now have it.

Exactly.

You have to experience the crap that is known as Cogeco before commenting on it.

And you know what? It is worth those fees if it means I get HDTV and 5.1 sound when applicable. I swear, Cogeco seems like the only company in the universe who doesn't offer HDTV. :roll: And I won't even get started on the junk cable box cogeco uses for the dig service and how horrible the service in general is.

Basically, this is not a question of costs. I can handle the costs especially if I get a better service and ANYTHING is better than Gaygeco.
