you're right tee, there are other choices for video/radio 
entertainment, notice tho I said no other choice in cabletv

on an older tv without digital tuning, you can get 6 channels in 
london with just a regular tv antenna (cfpl london vhf10/cfmt toronto 
uhf 69/tvo uhf 18/global vhf 6/ckco vhf 13/city tv toronto uhf 31)... 
reception varies of course with how close the tv is to the window, 
what buildings are around you, etc
if you;re lucky enough to live in toronto, you have much better 
reception and channels

cable should be free. All the ads are insane. You can get free 
internet service on a pc if you watch some ads, and they dont take up 
the whole screen for 1/4 of the time you;re on the net!
