Hamilton is Cogeco's home territory — the cable giant has dominated television service in the Steel City for decades. But Hamilton residents are cutting the Cogeco cord faster than anywhere else in Ontario. Our IPTV Hamilton Canada service gives you 50,000+ channels including local CHCH and all Hamilton-area broadcasts, in 4K quality, for a fraction of what Cogeco charges. No 2-year contract, no installation fee, no hidden fees.
Cogeco has been the default cable TV provider in Hamilton, Burlington, Brantford, and surrounding Halton/Brant communities for over 50 years. For decades, Hamilton households had little choice — either pay Cogeco's rates or do without cable. IPTV changes everything.
Cogeco's Essential TV package in Hamilton starts at $79.99/month for approximately 200 channels. Want TSN? Add a Sports package for $19.95/month. Want to watch in a second room? Add a digital terminal rental for $10.99/month. Want 4K? Cogeco TV 4K is only available on select channels with a compatible 4K box. Want French channels, multicultural content, or an extensive on-demand library? More add-ons.
By contrast, our IPTV service in Hamilton provides 50,000+ channels — including all sports, all French-language channels, 150,000+ on-demand movies and series, and full 4K quality — for $CA 15.99/month. There are no add-ons because there is nothing to add on; everything is included from day one.
Critically, keeping your Cogeco internet connection while cancelling Cogeco TV is straightforward. Cogeco internet and Cogeco cable TV are separate services sold on separate contracts. You do not need to cancel your Cogeco internet to stop paying for Cogeco TV. Thousands of Hamilton households are already doing exactly this — keeping affordable Cogeco internet and streaming everything via IPTV.

The #1 concern for Hamilton cord-cutters is always: will I keep CHCH? The answer is yes. Our IPTV service includes CHCH (Channel 11), Hamilton's iconic independent television station, along with all other Hamilton-area and Ontario regional broadcasts.
CHCH (Channel 11 Hamilton) has been broadcasting from Hamilton since 1954 — making it one of Canada's oldest television stations. Operating as an independent broadcaster since 2009, CHCH produces extensive local programming: 11@11 (the 11 pm local news), Hamilton morning news, community affairs programs, and comprehensive local Hamilton coverage that national networks don't provide. Every IPTV subscriber in Hamilton gets CHCH included in their subscription.
The Hamilton Tiger-Cats (CFL) are the pride of the Steel City, and every game is available through our IPTV service via TSN. With TSN 1–5 all included, Hamilton fans never miss a Tiger-Cats game — including the Eastern Final and Grey Cup when Hamilton makes the playoffs. All Hamilton Tiger-Cats preseason, regular season, and playoff games are broadcast on TSN and included in our service.
Our Hamilton IPTV service covers the full City of Hamilton (following the 2001 amalgamation) plus surrounding communities throughout the Niagara Escarpment corridor and Greater Golden Horseshoe region.
Beyond these communities, our IPTV service extends throughout the broader Cogeco service territory in Ontario, including Kingston, Belleville, Peterborough, Sault Ste. Marie, and all other areas where Cogeco provides internet access. If you have Cogeco internet — or any other broadband internet — our IPTV works.
Switching from Cogeco cable to our IPTV service in Hamilton is a two-stage process: set up IPTV first, then cancel Cogeco TV after you've confirmed everything works.
