On second thought, perhaps this "Personal TV" business means that the TV portion essentially comes with the product for free. A user of Warp is paying just about $107 for the standalone version, where the comparable "Broadband 50" will be available for $94.90, including Personal TV. So essentially they are getting equivalent internet, plus some TV channels, for less than before.

I'm not sure why Shaw would word it as such that it appears that you need to purchase more services than you want when they could be spinning it to show what they're throwing in for free. And why add TV for free anyway? To boost their subscriber numbers, even if those subscribers aren't actually watching it?

Perhaps I am misunderstanding the ambiguous wording, but it seems like the new Broadband 50 is better value than the old Warp plan, even if you don't factor in the TV. So with the new plan, you end up paying less anyway, and you get free TV whether you want it or not.
