Cutting the Cord

[Evan Leibovitch]

Update:

Placed the order with TekSavvy today: 50/10 FTTN with a 300GB limit.
Price is good.
They no longer rent the modem, you have to buy it ($130). As it's fairly
specialized and, as has been noted, probably has some Bell-specific hacks,
there' s no shopping around for it.
I'm pleasantly surprised at how much legitimately free TV content is
allowed through Plex channel plugins. Wondering if the proxy will be worth
it, but I guess it doesn't hurt to try.

Visited the Save & Replay brick-and-mortar store to talk antennas. Gonna
see how much I can get without having to put a big ugly thing outside.
After replacing the tabletop with a Terk, I now get all the Toronto
stations plus one Buffalo one (WNLO 23) that isn't even available on cable.
Will experiment more before plunking down cash on that.

Now it's time to go server shopping, something that can do all the fetching
and encoding and DVRing (mainly Plex server, MythTV and assorted Usenet
services.). It may cost, but I'll be paying almost $200/month less in fees
so what I spend will be recouped soon enough.
