[GTALUG] an odd question about well on going service factors.

[Karen Lewellen]

Hi folks,
Tapping into your genus once again.
At this moment Bell and I continue to fight, land line wise and otherwise. 
they seem to be 
preventing 
Teksavy from helping me either, I get an announced visit when not home, 
then weeks of someone will call you with a solution.
If I am honest, because my analog phone services support my brain health 
and I expected to be back on track all this is rather emotionally 
challenging.
then there is the television situation, which leads to my question.
My landlord is including access to his Fibe TV account, he already 
provides internet as a part of my rent.
That means I need a set top box of some kind, my television is 
conventional, I do not use the Internet for viewing, its not inclusive for 
my combination of disability experiences.
Here is the question..or two of them.
first, is there a universal box of some kind that I can get which will let 
me access the available Fibe TV services without using one from Bell 
specifically?
if not then...
Second, can one just rent a set top box by itself?
Thanks all around,
Karen
