Few open digital channels on Rogers? Is it normal? Some sort of free preview?
I don't have Rogers cable TV. I haven't had them in about 8 years. I do have Distributel internet though, which uses the rogers cable running into the house.
For years I haven't bothered to plug in the coaxial cable behind the tv because what would be the point? I dont subscribe to any tv service.
Anyway, earlier when I was messing with the TV, out of curiosity I decided what the heck? I plugged in the cable and ran a channel scan.
It found about 50 channels, which I thought was crazy.
I started going through the channels and the first 3 were all identical. Some weird fish tank channel
However after that I was surprised to find Game of Thrones playing. Not just some trailer, but a full episode. I'm thinking it must be HBO.
I went up further to find an actual movie playing (The House Bunny). Not sure what channel this is, but quality was fantastic.
Next channel was Global TV. After that was a TV show Sons of Anarchy. All these channels playing in 1080i.
That's where it ended though. Everything after that was music channels and some Rogers preview channels (something called Rogers Grid?).
Is this normal? Some sort of free preview? If I knew about this, I could have been watching these channels years ago.
