Is it just me? Satellite tv

Posted by flit on Sep 25, 2009 in Uncategorized |

Years ago, we switched from satellite to cable television.

But now, at our new house in Peterborough, I made the mistake of switching back.

i have heard not very nice things about the local cable provider here - not the one I am used to - so decided to go with Bell.ca for everything.

Honestly - am SO not impressed.

Phone service is fine.

Internet - sucking! Constant issues re: which account I want to send email from because Bell won’t allow Rogers to go through - so can no longer just hit reply to and send … I have to remember to also change the sending account.

And TV - OMG it is MAJOR SUCKING!!  We have two tvs - one up, one down.  And on both of them, the sound and video are SO NOT SYNCHED. I hate that.

On cable (at our other house) - occasional problems specific to one channel/show or another - but here it is on every single channel all the time. It is incredibly distracting and annoying.

I’m not a big TV watcher anyway - but now I don’t enjoy ANY TV at all.

Searched their site looking for troubleshooting info tonight - didn’t find anything, and online chat isn’t available now (and doesn’t tell me when it WILL be available; also annoying). Will try again tomorrow - but I’d be interested to know if this is typical of satellite television. If you use satellite, please do tell!
