I don't know if some of you notice, but on all american broacast channels are marking that in 2009 that they will only have that company be shown on digital tv, it will no longer work on cable.

I know i don't live in USA, but i do receive those channels too, like Peachtree TV and FOX and other channels that i watch. But i'm still hooked on Cable, and i plan to stay on Cable too, i don't want digital, too many buttons and to pay for stuff i don't even watch, the price different is too big to switch to digital.
But, in 2009, What? i'll only be able to watch Canadian and French Broadcast networks?
which means i'll have channels....

2- CTV
3- CBC
4- TWN (the weather network)
5- Rogers Preview channel
6- Global
7- CTV
8- CTV
9- Shopping Channel
10-Rogers TV English
11- Radio-Canada
12-
13- CTV (yeah i know it's a lot of the same network)
14- CBC News World
15- CTV
16-
17-
18-
19- YTV
20- W Network
21- CTV
22-

24- HGTV
25-
26-

28-
29- CTV
30- MUCH
31-
32-
33-
34-
35- Family
36- Discovery
37- MTV- Canada
38-
39-Comedy
40- Teletoon
41-TCM Canada
42-
43- CTV
44- CBFT
45- TFO
46- CFJP
47- TV5
48- RDI
49- APTN
50-

52- MMM
53- Rogers TV - French

I won't be missing a whole lot, but there's a lot of those that i listed that i never watch. But i will be missing 7 networks i like and in the list i just made there's 15 out of 35 that i do watch. sad

What do you feel about the situation?

yeah i don't know why they all want every single person that has cable to switch to digital. it's kinda stupid. the cost of it too.

yup. I mean i would be able to afford digital, but i just don't see the point. Plus Aliant started to have cable and are placing it from city to city, it's not yet in Moncton or Miramichi, but as soon as it hits the chi, i'm switching with aliant instead of Rogers. The only reason my tv is not with Aliant right now is cauz they only have digital. sweatdrop
