(...) Well, you can RENT a Digital PVR from Rogers I bet. Regular PVR systems you might need a channel changer via IR. Not sure if any of the digital boxes allow for serial/USB changing. Calum (19 years ago, 19-Oct-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

Well Rogers basically bribed me into getting Digital Cable. I could put the digital box in a closet, still get the same selection of channels, and it will cost me 5 dollars less a month.

So in building the 'underside' of the mountain, I used up all my 23 red bricks. I was quite surprised 'cause I had lots of 'em. Eh, now I have to change the colour--it'll look hokey, but I'm good at hokey... This is fun! Dave K (19 years ago, 19-Oct-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
