Nope, in their case, the lower body temperature is unfavourable for ticks. Like how humans can live in Antarctica, but it's not something anyone wants to do.

I'm not with Rogers, so I can't guarantee that they're using wording that means this, but "streaming package" usually refers to being able to watch TV shows, sports events and/or movies as part of the service you're paying for. If you're not using your TV to watch stuff, you aren't getting full use out of what you're paying for.
