To record them.  Unless you add something like the HDPVR to a rogers HD
digital box.  Most HD channels are not accessible over firewire (and
les and less seem to be over time).  I had the winter olympics in HD on
firewire for CTV, but I stopped being able to do that in March.

Digital basic did not include the HD box, only the SD box unless that
has changed lately (in which case I would like them to exchange my SD
box for an HD box please).

I have cable, internet and cell phone with them right now.  Some day I
will get around to moving internet to teksavvy instead.  I could maybe
put up an antenna, but in about a year they are supposed to start building
a condo tower 500m south of my house, so I am thinking "Why bother".
