| 15:50.35 | Juggie | lmadsen! |
| 15:50.39 | lmadsen | how goes? |
| 15:50.43 | Juggie | rogers/futureshop are running a promo now |
| 15:50.48 | Juggie | run (dont walk) to the nearest FS |
| 15:50.52 | lmadsen | oh? |
| 15:50.57 | lmadsen | FS is across the road |
| 15:50.59 | Juggie | you get a high speed modem + dlink wireless n router |
| 15:51.00 | lmadsen | (literally) |
| 15:51.02 | Juggie | for 100$ + tax |
| 15:51.08 | Juggie | and then rogers will credit you back the 100$ |
| 15:51.09 | Juggie | on your bill |
| 15:51.12 | lmadsen | really?! |
| 15:51.16 | Juggie | oui |
| 15:51.19 | lmadsen | that saves $3 a month :) |
| 15:51.23 | Juggie | exactally! |
| 15:51.27 | Juggie | gogo |
| 15:51.27 | lmadsen | too bad I don't have any N devices |
| 15:51.31 | Juggie | i hear they are selling like hot cakes |
| 15:51.42 | lmadsen | I will go after my meeting since I gotta go get lunch anyways |
| 15:51.43 | Juggie | even the 4$ on the rental saved is kick ass |
| 15:52.09 | lmadsen | indeed |
| 15:52.19 | Juggie | i ment to go last night and didnt have time |
| 15:52.25 | Juggie | i hope they still have stock today on my way home |
| 15:52.30 | lmadsen | I'm still really tempted just to downgrade my cable to the lowest amount, and just get an HD antennae |
| 15:52.48 | Juggie | did you call rogets and pull my scam or what |
| 15:52.52 | Juggie | you'll get your cable for like 40% off |
| 15:52.54 | Juggie | for a year |
| 15:52.59 | Juggie | if you just freeking call em |
| 15:53.11 | lmadsen | ya... but I'm tempted to just get rid of as much TV as I have in general |
| 15:53.24 | lmadsen | not even money wise, but just so I can save a ton of money, and I want to get more into records |
| 15:53.26 | lmadsen | and reading more |
| 15:53.30 | lmadsen | and writing |
| 15:53.40 | Juggie | do you have a TV w/ ATSC/QAM tuner? |
| 15:54.15 | lmadsen | I don't think so |
| 15:54.23 | Juggie | what kind of tv do you have |
| 15:54.25 | lmadsen | but I could check I suppose |
| 15:54.26 | Juggie | HDTV something? |
| 15:55.23 | lmadsen | Samsung HL-T4675S |
| 16:01.45 | Juggie | i think it has a qam tuner/atsc |
| 16:01.47 | Juggie | check your manual |
| 16:04.12 | lmadsen | got the book here... checking |
| 16:05.49 | lmadsen | it mentions DTV over the air on the first page, so I think it does have the tuner |
| 16:06.22 | lmadsen | yep, it actually discussed it in the very first paragraph, before the table of contents |
| 16:06.34 | lmadsen | can I get one of those antennas at FS? |
| 16:06.37 | Juggie | rogers has alot of unencrypted qam channels |
| 16:06.46 | Juggie | eg, channels on their digital service |
| 16:06.49 | Juggie | but they arnt encrypted |
| 16:06.53 | lmadsen | hrmmm |
| 16:06.59 | Juggie | hook up your cable directally to the tv and do a scan |
| 16:07.06 | lmadsen | I'm just trying to find out how I can get some decent TV, but for cheap |
| 16:07.10 | lmadsen | ah, good idea |
| 16:07.12 | lmadsen | I'll try that |
| 16:07.14 | Juggie | well, scan and see whats avail |
| 16:07.19 | Juggie | make sure you use the qam tuner |
| 16:07.23 | Juggie | ntsc/atsc wont find anything |
| 16:07.33 | lmadsen | oh ok... wonder how I do that... manual time I suppose :) |
| 16:08.09 | Juggie | atsc is for OTA digital |
| 16:08.19 | Juggie | get an antenna from the source |
| 16:08.26 | Juggie | should be like 20-30$ for a good indoor one |
| 16:08.59 | Juggie | make sure it has a VHF antenna (typical stick in the air antenna) and a UHF loop |
| 16:09.49 | Juggie | btw, i called my local FS and confirmed the deal |
| 16:09.55 | Juggie | gf is going to pick it up for mw now |
| 16:10.18 | Juggie | http://www.thesource.ca/estore/category.aspx?language=en-CA&catalog=Online&category=Indoor+Antennas&pagenum=1&sort=1 |
| 16:11.12 | Juggie | for you something like this might be ok |
| 16:11.14 | Juggie | http://www.thesource.ca/estore/Product.aspx?language=en-CA&catalog=Online&category=Indoor+Antennas&product=1501880 |
| 16:11.20 | Juggie | because you can point it @ buffalo |
| 16:11.29 | Juggie | and your gonna get the toronto stations anyway |
| 16:11.34 | Juggie | since your like right next to the cn tower |
| 16:13.22 | Juggie | i have the one thats 29$ but i never used it w/ hdtv |
| 16:13.36 | Juggie | only with analog when i first moved into my place before i had cable (thanks again for the portable interweb!) |
| 16:14.41 | lmadsen | np! :) |
| 16:15.02 | lmadsen | ah, I see what you're saying, let me check the manual for QAM.... |
| 16:15.22 | Juggie | qam is needed for stealing rogers |
| 16:15.27 | Juggie | ATSC is needed for OTA HDTV |
| 16:15.43 | Juggie | but IMO, just call and say your switching to bell |
| 16:15.47 | Juggie | and you'll get a TON for free |
| 16:20.16 | lmadsen | Juggie: hrmmm... ok, when I go to auto program, I have Analog and Digital, and the types are STD, HRC, and IRC |
| 16:21.31 | Juggie | digital |
| 16:21.49 | lmadsen | I think it'll let me scan for both though, but there are 3 types of each of those |
| 16:22.01 | Juggie | scan everything even |
| 16:22.19 | lmadsen | I'm just curious if you knew what those 3 types were |
| 16:22.25 | Juggie | gogoling now. |
| 16:22.54 | Juggie | try std first |
| 16:22.58 | Juggie | it just shifts the freq a bit |
| 16:23.01 | lmadsen | will do |
| 16:23.02 | lmadsen | ah gotcha |
| 16:23.21 | lmadsen | auto program in progress :) |
| 16:24.07 | lmadsen | I'm wondering if Bell can even offer digital cable in here... |
| 16:24.19 | lmadsen | might not matter... I can just still say they offered it to me I suppose :) |
| 16:24.36 | lmadsen | I mostly just want to be able to watch hockey anyways, everything else I can do without |
| 16:24.47 | lmadsen | I can just use the Internet to download anything else I want to watch |
| 16:32.07 | lmadsen | heh, the TV is currently removing the scrambled channels... |
| 16:50.20 | lmadsen | hey cool, I found the entrance camera channel :) |
| 17:28.32 | Juggie | hehe did you get a ton of channels? |
| 17:28.44 | Juggie | did you get the rogers thing? |
| 17:28.47 | Juggie | my gf got me one no issue |
| 17:29.02 | Juggie | cable modem + router for 13$ after rogers rebate |
| 17:29.12 | lmadsen | hotness |
| 17:29.18 | Juggie | you didnt go out yet did you |
| 17:29.19 | lmadsen | I haven't gone yet, but I'm going very soon because I need lunch |
| 17:29.22 | lmadsen | just got off the phone with a client |
| 17:29.26 | Juggie | k go go before they are all gone |
| 17:29.35 | Juggie | did you find any good channels? |
| 17:29.58 | lmadsen | ummm... I seem to have the lower 63 chans + digital music |
| 17:30.15 | Juggie | there are alot of unencrypted reg & hdtv channels too |
| 17:30.20 | Juggie | unless rogers recentally encrypted them all |
| 17:30.29 | Juggie | and they may have |
| 17:30.31 | Juggie | check digitalhome.ca |
| 17:30.37 | lmadsen | checking |
| 17:31.31 | Juggie | ya |
| 17:31.36 | Juggie | they have been working to encrypt everything |
| 17:31.41 | Juggie | i foudn a post RE that. |
| 17:31.49 | Juggie | o well, call rogers and tell them your moving to bell |
| 17:31.51 | Juggie | remember the deal |
| 17:32.08 | Juggie | 68-$10/mo credit for a year for the best HD package they have |
| 17:32.16 | Juggie | +HDPVR for a year |
| 17:32.18 | Juggie | tell them that |
| 17:32.21 | Juggie | see what they say |
| 17:32.48 | lmadsen | sorry... tell them $68 minus $10/mth credit for a year plus the best HD pkg they have, including HDPVR for a year |
| 17:34.28 | lmadsen | looks to be DTV is just digital audio |
| 17:38.31 | lmadsen | ok, going to the FS and for food now I suppose |
| 18:08.23 | lmadsen | Juggie: went and they are out, but the guy told me they plan on getting more on Saturday. Said he has told like 25 people that today :) |
| 19:00.05 | Juggie | haha ok call rogers! |
| 19:00.56 | lmadsen | yes... I think I might do that |
| 19:33.24 | lmadsen | sweet, he gave me a deal :) |
| 19:33.31 | lmadsen | I told him I was going to cancel, or at least way downgrade |
| 19:33.45 | lmadsen | I don't think I got the same deal as you, but I got the PVR for free for a year |
| 19:34.08 | lmadsen | plus he is giving me the VIP digital cable which I think he said was $60/mth for $45 |
| 19:34.19 | lmadsen | took like $50+ dollars off my bill |
| 19:34.31 | lmadsen | and I just got rid of the timeshifting and extra stupid things i don't need |
| 19:58.54 | Juggie | lmadsen, see how easy that was! |
| 19:59.11 | lmadsen | it wasn't THAT easy... I had to be a little bitchy, and wait for 30 mins :) |
| 19:59.20 | Juggie | really? |
| 19:59.24 | Juggie | must be busy today |
| 19:59.24 | lmadsen | but I think you were right that calling during the day was the key |
| 19:59.30 | Juggie | i think they <3 my account |
| 19:59.37 | Juggie | because i have 4 services, bring in lots of money |
| 19:59.54 | Juggie | i bring in over 2000$ a year for them |
| 19:59.55 | lmadsen | he said he had some issues figuring out how to apply everything to my account, but he was like, "I think I made a good business decision to keep you as a customer" :) |
| 20:00.14 | Juggie | you get put in catagories based on how much income you generate |
| 20:00.20 | lmadsen | interesting |
| 20:00.21 | Juggie | the more income you generate, the more they will try to please you |
| 20:00.24 | lmadsen | mine must be high then :) |
| 20:00.34 | lmadsen | my cell phone bill used to be nearly $400/mth |
| 20:00.41 | Juggie | ya there you go :) |
| 20:01.03 | Juggie | but you dont have a rogers cell anymore do you? |
| 20:01.25 | lmadsen | no a rogers cell, but rogers cell plan |
| 20:02.11 | Juggie | damn you shuold of asked the same guy to lower your cell too |
| 20:02.13 | Juggie | he can do anything |
| 20:02.15 | Juggie | hes relations |
| 20:03.03 | lmadsen | ya, it is already way lower |
| 20:03.07 | lmadsen | like $80/mth now |
| 20:03.24 | lmadsen | thats when I was using it all the time during the day to do testing for Mix |
| 20:03.26 | Juggie | you still should of asked i know he said 'is there anything else i can do to help you' |
| 20:03.42 | lmadsen | I don't think he did say that, lol |
| 20:30.29 | Juggie | i am sure he did |
| 20:30.31 | Juggie | they have to :) |
| 20:33.33 | lmadsen | ya, the conversation kinda ended pretty casually, heh |
| 21:06.06 | Juggie | heh |
| 21:06.10 | Juggie | i just walked someone else through it |
| 21:06.14 | Juggie | a friend at work |
| 21:06.17 | Juggie | he got 70$ off his bill |
| 21:09.06 | lmadsen | LOL |

| 21:09.39 | Juggie | and they gave him like 15$ off his cable + 2 years free pvr + 10$ off home phone + 10$ off cell |
| 21:09.53 | Juggie | its just too easy lmadsen |

| 21:12.14 | Juggie | indeedy |
| 21:12.19 | Juggie | i'm the rogers manipulation master |
| 21:12.33 | lmadsen | heck ya |
| 21:12.41 | lmadsen | you should write up how to do it on a website, lol |
| 21:12.52 | Juggie | nah... then they will get wise to it. |
| 21:13.01 | lmadsen | yep, thats what I was thinking |
| 21:13.03 | Juggie | you just need to be a good customer in good standing |
| 21:13.09 | Juggie | and know how to talk to them |
| 21:13.33 | Juggie | they are just employees they dont give a fuck about giving away rogers stuff |
| 21:13.58 | Juggie | you just have to say the right things so if they do they will have a reason should anyone go back and listen to the tapes and audit their credits |
| 21:15.31 | lmadsen | yep, for sure |
