Subject: [kwlug-disc] OT: Non-satellite alternatives to Rogers Cable?

It's a bit off topic, but Maria and I are looking to get off our Rogers Television addiction. I almost never watch television and Maria only watches a couple of shows on TLN (The Latin Network). We would put up a satellite dish but our apartment contract states we cannot (they claim it's a structural thing - but they also have a contract with Rogers and have a Rogers rep. on site). I'd do the streaming thing but our Teksavvy connection really seems to be throttled by Bell (we get really bad results on the DSL test, but a constant download actually runs at about 180 kb/s.).


I've been thinking about just setting up some kind of automatic torrent thing to go with our XBMC setup. But if there's another solution that doesn't involve a dish we'd look at it. 

Cheers,


Charles
