I was under the impression that the new encoding schemes that Rogers is using is not all that great. I moved to an Antenna and OTT for my viewing needs something like 10 years ago so other than seeing the lack of quality my in-laws are getting I can't attest to the quality of Rogers. I don't off hand remember what the Bell compression was but I believe that it was better than Rogers. I was involved with a couple of startup OTT TV services a few years back and I was never all that happy about the trade off between bandwidth and quality. The standard broadcast TV stream at 1080i sucks back 20Mbits of network bandwidth. Given that Toronto is a good location for picking up free to air signals I wonder if there is a way to share antenna space and transcode them down to something reasonable. Set is up as a co-op and have members pick up the video streams as they desire. On 01/08/2016 07:20 AM, James Knott wrote:

All analog has gone, except for 3 and 15 which show a fish tank. I've used their analog (with a gap) since 1975 or so. Well, at least you have the important channels. ;-)
I haven't watched analog in years. --- Talk Mailing List talk@gtalug.org http://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk
