   Yeah we also lost the fuckin' golf channel and was forced to upgrade to HD   
   PVR receivers. We had to buy broadband professional boosters (low noise) but   
   the fuckin' signal still piexlates and has sound dropouts on most channels.   
   Rogers has fuck all bandwidth because of that cheap cunt Ted.
