Much easier to download shows than watch whenever it shows on local TV so they could remove the channels from cable and I still won't watch it on TV.

Disconnected cable last month.

Hulu Plus , Netflix , Amazon Instant, Torrents and this antenna is all I need.

CTV is the only channel that's a bit "grainy". The rest seem on par with cable.

I'd go the route with Hulu Plus , Netflix , Amazon Instant, Torrents if I had a reliable way of watching the EPL/La Liga matches online.

Watching those illegal live streams is never reliable.

Looks like Flow and others will be removing some channels from their line up soon.

Not just remove channels.

From the wording its also sounds like Local Stations will have to remove foreign programs they haven't actually purchased.

Dunno why people even bother to pay for cable tv

When a 15mb broadband connection is $200 and you can download anything you want in minutes.

Yeah but you have to know the movie/show exists for you to download it. Cable TV is easier since it it pushes programming at you.

What it think is unfair is the quality of what is received.

For example when World Cup comes around and people are subjected to TV6 poor quality, when directv and cable provides better quality. Standards should be enforced

Why not just use kodi on an old or current pc. Many more channels than flow or direct. Even paid channels. u can install it free with some research or someone like me to install it. live and rel good quality.

that's why we urgently need to do this

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_terrestrial_television

Digital terrestrial television (DTTV or DTT) is a technological evolution of broadcast television and an advancement over analog television. DTTV broadcasts land-based (terrestrial) signals. The advantages of digital terrestrial television, are similar to digital versus analog in platforms such as cable, satellite, and all telecommunications; the efficient use of spectrum and provision of more capacity than analog, better quality images, and lower operating costs for broadcast and transmission (after the initial upgrade costs). A terrestrial implementation of digital television (DTV) technology uses an aerial to broadcast to a conventional television antenna (or aerial) instead of a satellite dish or cable television connection.

Competing variants of broadcast television systems are being used around the world. Advanced Television Standards Committee created the ATSC standards that use an ATSC tuner in North America and South Korea—an evolution from the analog National Television System Committee (NTSC) standard. Integrated Services Digital Broadcasting (ISDB-T) is used in Japan, with a variation of it being used in most of South America. DVB-T is the most prevalent, covering Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Colombia and some countries of Africa. DMB-T/H is China's own standard (including Hong Kong and Cuba, though Hong Kong's cable operators use DVB); the rest of the world remains mostly undecided, many evaluating multiple standards. ISDB-T is very similar to DVB-T and can share front-end receiver and demodulator components. Several European countries have switched from analog to digital terrestrial television, with the rest hoping to have completed the switchover mostly by 2012.


according to the article so many other countries have already transitioned, why T&T have to be the only one lagging behind?

what is TATT doing? i mean we haven't even started testing a digital signal, whilst other countries have completely transitioned years ago :roll:

The channel knead using in kodi just get lock up and they say you have to pay.
Granted is only a couple weeks I installed it, to check it out. And based on what I was getting, once I set up a media pc I may buy it.

I think he is talking about "local" free-to-air television stations.

If you know the right sites, everything is available. If it's on TV, someone will upload it. You just need to be on the right site and everything is available, 10 times more than you'll ever see on cable and DirectTV combined. Download a torrent from a public site like KAT, check the trackers and see if the site is open to registration.

I haven't used cable for years and I see every show I want in full HD with zero ads.

The replacement stations in most cases are poor substitutes for what was taken away.

We like it so. They should remove all the channels besides local channels. Trinis will complain for two weeks and go back to normal.
