Getting Free Cable From Cable Modem?

Posted by Cliff on from the channel-1337 dept.

Steve writes: "Hi there, I live in Ottawa, Canada. I get my internet access via a cable modem. However I did not have cable and decided to split the connection onto my TV and got cable tv. Just recently my cable tv, lost 3/4 of the channels. I think the cable company is getting smart. Is there any software to download that will allow me to get these channels back? Is there anything else I can do to get these channels back? Any help will be greatly appreciated."

    PAY FOR THE SERVICE!!!

    Honestly, the mentality of the people who post questions here amazes me. You all want everything for free. Hey, I need a good programmer who will work long grueling hours for free. Any takers? No? I thought not.

    Get a life, grow up, and pay your own damned way through life. Quit being such a clueless leech.

    By the way, FP. Does that count for anything on an obscure, exceedingly lame AskSlasdolt article?

    Nothing is ever a complete failure.
    It can always be used as a bad example.
