Any comments on IPTV technology from people that use it?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_MediaIn BC one of our Telco's and DSL providers is offering this. Not in my neighbourhood yet, but it looks to be a really good deal. $22 for a basic package, then add on a couple of history/science channels and I would be happy. Also you can download from a movie library.
http://www.mytelus.com/tv/channels/index.vmJust wondering if there are any shortcomings?
I'm reasonably happy with my satellite system (Bell Expressvu) which is $27 per month for a really deluxe package. The downsides are:
- when the weather is really bad and we are stuck inside, the tv signal drops
- our very cheap package is not offered anymore, and each year they tack on a bigger and bigger service charge so eventually our discount will be gone
- the pay per view only allows for about 24 movie selections at any given time. I'm a movie nut.
- though ExpressVU allows the purchase of individual channels, they say with our discount package they can't do this. I smell BS.
