Hmmm...  I just found this in their FAQ:
https://rogers.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/rogers.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=15217&p_created=1211485584&p_sid=JP57kfnj&p_accessibility=0&p_redirect=&p_lva=&p_sp=cF9zcmNoPTEmcF9zb3J0X2J5PWRmbHQ6MSZwX2dyaWRzb3J0PSZwX3Jvd19jbnQ9MTMsMTMmcF9wcm9kcz0yNSZwX2NhdHM9JnBfcHY9MS4yNSZwX2N2PSZwX3NlYXJjaF90eXBlPWFuc3dlcnMuc2VhcmNoX2ZubCZwX3BhZ2U9MSZwX3NlYXJjaF90ZXh0PWFkc2w*&p_li=&p_topview=1

They don't say if the service is still offered, but if it is, I imagine 
you'll have to ask and be in an area where cable is not available.
