HDTV via rogers

Renting an HD box costs $13/month

purchasing it costs $300.

From what I understand, if you already have a digital box, you only need to get this box, and you'll receive HD channels at no additional cost?

I despise Bell with a passion.

I have dropped them completely on a business level as well as a professional level.

I spend around $4000/month in business I give to another company now.

AND I still have a T1 card of theirs they wanted me to ship after overcharging me $5000. They didn't have the manpower to send someone. I told them it would cost $5,000 for the man power and it would take 4 weeks. They never sent someone in to pick it up.

anyhoo, Rogers website is no good. Trying to find out what these HD channels are..

non HD in digital on any large screen tv are pretty junk especially if you know what it looks like in HD...only thing that sucks is HD programs take up so much damn space on the PVR HDD...but I have a 42" plasma and watching regular tv isnt all that bad but if its available to watch in HD you better damn believe thats what I'm watching cuz the picture and sound is wayyyy better
