I am wondering if anyone knows where I can find the Ontario Legislative Network on Bell TV. We just got it today and the only thing I can see is that possibly through TVO I might be able to watch an hour of Question Period at the Legislative Assembly of Ontario instead of the 24hr ONTLA channel that Rogers has on 68 (in Ottawa).

Just for an FYI - the Legislative Channel was on 68 at Rogers... but I can't find it here on Bell TV
 
The webcast is available on the Legislative Assembly website at www.ontla.on.ca
But, the Ontario Legislature has adjourned until February 17, 2009.
 
I am wondering, to ask the obvious question, why you believe Bell TV carries the channel? It is not listed in SHOW Magazine channel listings, nor is it included on the current Bell TV brochure. In fact, has Bell ever carried this channel?
 
I have been with Bell since Oct 31/2003 and they have never carried the Ontario Legislative Channel. They do carry the Saskatchewan Legislative Channel though on Channel 516 if I remember correctly. I remember back in 2003 sending them a email suggesting they should add the channel they just sent me a form letter email.
 
OLA was carried by *C until until last summer, when it was remove due to capacity issues. There just isn't the capacity, nor the demand.
 
Just throwing out there that if memory serves, the B.C. legislature channel is available on C-Band FTA on one of the Anik birds. But as stated, OLC is not on BellTV.
