Saskatchewan HD TV?

[Par7]

Ok, so I was a university student, and last year, before moving back home I had been doing Sasktel Max HDTV. Garbage. I hated it so much, it was so unreliable, and the quality wasn't that great. It was a bandwidth ho, and would frequently knock out my internet. I live in an apartment, so satellite HD TV is not an option. Has anyone used any other methods for getting a HD signal to their homes/apartments?

Is Access any good? Does rogers offer this type of service? Or am I stuck with the Dreaded Max?

Thanks.

My Dad has Access and has had no complaints other than with their customer service. They're all jerks and nitwits down there. All of them.

I have MaxHD, works fine. I run two HD boxes and a non-HD TV, plus high speed on two machines (one wireless, which is free if you have HD BTW) and never worry about slowdown.

My guess is your infrastructure sucked when you had the HD before. They've recently done a huge hardware upgrade for HD users to resolve some issues and I've had zero problems with mine so far.

Well that's good news about the upgrades. I think the motorola boxes are a little better too. Is that the one you have?

Alot of the bandwidth issues I was faced with I think were problems with the apartments themselves. With likely 8 or 10 out of 12 using the internet and TV, and HDTV, maybe that was cause for slowdown.
Also, there is only 1 filtered line in the apartment, so I couldn't run more than 1 hdtv or hard-wired PC.

Can you guys not get OTA broadcast?

I know it's not more than a handful, but when the service is out, you can always get the free HD channels.

Terk makes some great stuff if you can get atleast a partial signal where you live.

Wait, Saskatchewan has TV?

Come to think of it, Saskatchewan has electricity?
