Rogers Cable & TSN HD???

[Keebler Elf]

Did Rogers just changes their HD lineup? I have the VIP package and was receiving TSN HD on channel 506 and as of today I no longer get it. As late as last night I was watching the World Juniors on it.

Did they change their VIP package or something?

It was a free preview....essentially dangling a carrot to the subscribers like yourself and I who enjoyed the HD programming on TSN. I doubt it's a coincidence that the free preview ended once the WJC was over - it proved to draw huge ratings.

I'd love to have TSN HD all the time, but I'm not going to give them more money (yet).

Right you are...

Sorry Rogers, I pay enough as it is. No HD for me...

Another money grab by Robbers. Insert smilie here. Got to pay extra if you want TSN2 too.

This is commienism. In a free and democratic society, there should be no extra charge for HD. Insert smilie here.

Fuck it, for $8 a month, it's worth the upgrade for that HD package. Also includes TSN2 and several other channels. Sports just look so good in HD!

Plus, they make the non-HD look worse than regular TV. Insert smilie here.

... and exactly do you two markret analysts come to these conclusions?

Eventually when HD become the rule as opposed to the exception you won't see the extra fee. May be you'll see something like the extra fee for dial phone. Remember them?

I haven't had a home land line in about 3 years, but I do remember still seeing the charge for 'touch tone' on those last bills I paid....does Bell still include that charge??? Talk about a straight-up money grab! lol

But it isn't just $8.00 as you don't get ALL the hd channels for that. To get the movie networks etc you have to pay extra for that and I also believe to get channels like TLC Discovery etc in HD that is yet another package.

It used to be that you'd get all HD network channels free but robbers moved them all up to the 500 range and now you don't get them unless you pay extra for them.

Actually, it is $8 a month as this thread is about TSN HD.

Yes but other posters have stated that HD is a ripoff and my comment was directed to Keeb who "thought" he should be getting all the hd channels but wasn't. I wanted to point out that even if you buy the HD package for $8.00 that doesn't give you ALL the HD channels......
