Rogers Increase of 13%!
Just got my most recent Rogers TV bill. Incredible what they charge now. Basic cable went from $37.49 a month to $42.49 a month. That's an increase of 13.3%! Guess I'm paying for all those cable cutters out there...

Numerous companies sell internet.
Looks interesting after a quick glance at Amazon.ca reviews. WIll have to see if it's worth upgrading from my Digiwave ANT-2084JustMe2016 wrote: ↑May 19th, 2017 3:07 pmP.S. The RCA751 is one of the best antennas you can get. Not too expensive to buy, compact in size so it can be easily located in the attic or balcony (mine is in the attic) and great reception of all channels between 2 and 69. Oh, and the pic is better than Rogers HD, or Bell satellite.

Won't save money with Teksavvy..they're as expensive as Rogers with even worst serviceJustMe2016 wrote: ↑May 19th, 2017 3:07 pmGet a RCA751 and you won't need to pay for cable TV. Use TekSavvy and you could save a good amount each month for your internet. And if voip.ms, or other similar services is too much work for you, get Primus voip - tell them you want a 2 year contract at $16/month. Comes with more than a dozen features, 100% reliable and quality as good as Bell landline.

I'm familiar with TV fool however, it is subjective since factors like trees can give you fewer stations that it lists. That's my case which is why the RCA one you listed looked interesting since it's reviews commend it for it's ability to receive channels without a direct line of sight.JustMe2016 wrote: ↑May 23rd, 2017 10:31 amI installed mine a few years ago. Bought it at Walmart across the border for about $40. I also bought an Antenna Direct Clearstream 2 for $80 at the same time. After trying both, I couldn't find any difference in reception, or quality of pic/sound. But somehow I preferred the pic provided by the RCA (very subjective). I was surprised when a few days ago I went to Amazon.com and saw more than 4,000 reviews of the RCA751 with 89% of them giving either a 4 or 5 star rating out of 5. Never heard of Digiwave until I went to Canada Computers a few days ago. I read some reviews and they ain't the best.
I'm in the process of trying to see if I could get more than the 16 HD channels I'm getting. Looking at other antennas (but those are like 10'+ long). Make sure to go to TVFOOL and enter your coordinates to see what are your possibilities.

Unfortunately I'm in ground floor housing so I can't mount in an attic or roof. However, I have been thinking about if RG-6 cable would be better since what I have now is a normal cable TV cable I had lying around when I cut the cord.JustMe2016 wrote: ↑May 23rd, 2017 2:17 pmI would definitely recommend you try the RCA first. I sold my Clearstream 2 on Kijiji quite easily. In the end it only cost me $20 to be able to try a Clearstream 2 and given how much I'm saving by not paying Rogers for TV, it is a bargain. I might try a "GE PRO outdoor/attic antenna" just to see. Though I doubt I will get more than with my RCA.
If you install it in the attic or roof, I suggest you get something like an Electroline or Antronix 15 amps amplifier close to the antenna (you might be able to get one used from a store selling antennas). The reviews on the bag are good. It is real canvas and not the plastic type reusable bags like Walmart or Food Basics etc sell however, some reviewers state the canvas isn't that thich and...wow...$18 for a bag? Reminds me why I don't shop at The Bay.
Also the colour sceme, although doesn't directly advertise The Bay, does use their "blanket" colour scheme so it can be associated with the store.I'm using an Antronix (from the cable era) and the difference it makes is that 2 or 3 stations that would occasionally break are always perfect all the time. Also make sure to use RG-6 cable (quad shield if you can). The shorter the cable the better.
