I'm looking for a cabin/cottage kind of thing, not more than 5 or 6 hours
away from the Philadelphia area that I could rent for three or four days in
late December/early January as a surprise for my SO.  It wouldn't have to
be anything fancy, although heating and some kind of kitchen facilities are
necessitated by the time of year.  The more remote, the better.  Fireplaces
and double beds are big pluses.  Please contact me through e-mail.

When CF Cable decided to carry WPTZ (ch. 57) in addition to VETV (ch. 33) -
they dropped TVOntario (ch. 24). 

FOX would, naturally, be another English channel.

If CF Cable were persuaded to carry FOX - which PBS service would they
be likely to drop? :-(

I like both "57" & "33" though they carry many of the same shows.

I was very annoyed that they dropped "24".

I never understood why they would drop a CANADIAN english channel in favour
of an AMERICAN one. (?-))

I also resent paying more for basic cable service to subsidise PAY TV
channels that other people want. They invested in new equipment etc to
provide the PAY TV services. They were undersubscribed and CF Cable
were losing money. So what do they do? They give everybody some of the
"PAY TV" channels (whether they want them or not) and jack up everybodys
fees to pay for them.

I heard something about CF Cable fees going up again in the new year.

Maybe its time to consider setting up an antenna. (?)


Here's another question:-

Nearly all my bills are for services, already, received.

CF Cable TV bills a minimum of two months in advance for services
promised, yet to be received. WHY?

O Canada:  This country has never agreed totally on anything.  A yes Vote 
in the referendum ment different things depending on where you were at 
the time you voted.  In Quebec it came down to a fedralist vs separatist, 
but elsewhere it was trust the government or not to trust the government.
        There are a lot more flag wavers in America than there are in 
Canada, but what few there are rarely speak out much.  Don't kill off a 
dying breed gentlmen, let the man talk.  

Fox TV: There are numerous petitions going around Montreal, just walk in 
to a comic or gaming shop and ask, most petitions are to CF cable to take 
either the FOX network or at least Batman.  CF cable only has so many 
positions available to its service (so I'm told by their representatives 
- if I'm wrong don't jump down my throat) and to add more becomes 
expensive.  CF cable will answer any questions from an individual if you 
call their number during business hours.  To quote the representative I 
talked to ' We'd be glad to help.  We're in the book.'
