What channels comes with the base package? Just local OTA + CPAC + Legislative Assembly channel + APTN + weather network + AMI + a few french channels?D0ntgiveajack wrote: ↑ I currently have Alt TV basic (14.95) and crave is included in my services. If you want movies + HBO then it's $10

Under the basic Alt TV package, youll see the Crave logo.
Caution: if you sign up and they offer you movie packages for 2 months free, you can't cancel Alt TV before the 2 month movie trial ends without getting a "clawback" for the free promos. It's so stupid.

It's nice that you can cancel immediately and continue using the free 30 day trial.
I signed up for one of the channels and then immediately cancelled the subscription in https://www.primevideo.com/settings/

No, the best thing would be to break them up into separate companies: one entity can be the dumb pipe providers and the other can compete on selling content. They did this in the UK and it's been very successful. It makes absolutely no sense to allow a company to own the infrastructure, access to the infrastructure and all the content provisions. It's a recipe for anti-competitive behaviour.Kurtz7834 wrote: ↑ The Canadian telecoms own all the network infrastructure and no way can the local governments and municipalities afford to lay down their own fiber lines. They have enough trouble providing essential services, repairing roads etc. as is. The government would have to expropriate the telecom networks which would be a huge, costly legal fight.
A better solution is just for the government to pass legislation EITHER regulating prices OR opening access to the cell towers and fiber networks to foreign competition. You can bet that the Canadian telecoms would cry up a sh*tstorm over either scenario. They have a ton of political influence unfortunately.
Anyways, does anyone remember the promise of cutting the chord allowing you to pick your content and save money? Now it seems like it is all being fractured and you have to subscribe to a dozen services to get what you want. I might give this a look as my in-laws are coming to visit in July and they love HGTV, Food Network and National Geographic.

Interesting, more or less the same channels as PikTV except Fibe Alt TV includes Crave, ABC, CBS, Fox, NBC, PBS. But PikTV allows for a selection of 5 specialty channels included in the subscription.

Are we talking about the grey area iptv services? They are of questionable legality and none of them have reliable guides. $5 USD/month says it all ... YouTube does have some copyright issues, but Google at least makes an effort to get rid of them. Not endorsing YouTube, as they have other problems, but they are hardly illegal.fulladdict wrote: ↑ Its like watching you tube fully legal and yes they have a guide.
5 dollar a month do the math... all channels all movies all TV serials

Disappointed that no news channels are offered. It seems that more and more services (HBO, TSN, Sportstnet, etc.) are available through their own apps, but most of the news networks (except for CBC) haven't followed suit.

Is the channel content shown on the Prime Channels only a sample listing of the programming available, or is that everything? Seems like some channels don't have much to offer, at least not enough to justify the price.

I don't know why TV are not delivered for Free when they make most of their money from advertisements. Either via IPTV or OTA.
