    The CTV App can fuck itself. I’ll be pirating the show and I’m not even ashamed.-

        Yeah, their ads are a lot more aggressive than they used to be. I recently started watching SkyMed with my wife and it’s nearly unbearable - and they want $5/month to get rid of them. At least cable didn’t just play the same 6 ads over and over. :/

          Wow, Canada must charge a lot more for cable than the US then. When I cut the cord in 2012 I was paying about $60 USD per month. I just got an offer for $70/mo for 2 years. You are paying more then that at least.

            I was paying $120ish for cable in 2014 (not including cable internet, with that it was nearly $200). We would have cut the cord earlier, but without cable our internet went way up and we may as well have had cable too.

              Yeah, they tried that here too. Luckily the state stepped in and made it hard for the cable company to monopolize the system like that.
