I have a solution to cable companies.

"Cut the cable"

I put a tv yagi up on my tower and I get CBC and CTV when I want it with no
fees. It's called Free to Air.

You will likely see tons of station if you are in an urban station.

There is a satellite arc in the sky and you can point a dish any one of them

The reciever can be as cheap as $60.00. Cable, the tool to put connnectors on
$60.

You also need dish (I use a starchoice one) and a test set, $80.00.

It took a lot of work to setup.
