This is a post from a thread about DTV yesterday. Just thought other canuck football fans might be interested. I just found out that in the US, DTV offers Sunday Ticket in HD, (yeah, I don't know where I've been hiding either). So here I am in TO with my HD box and HD TV wondering why the hell I can''t watch my fins in HD every week. So I place a call.......

Just got off the phone with my cable provider (rogers). For any canadian fans that care, I'll tell you what they said. As you know, the semi-socialist nanny state of Canada regulates the air -- and more specifically the broadcast signals that travel through that air. So basically, HD sunday ticket hasn't been approved by the CRTC (for my US friends following this, the CRTC is a government-arm that regulates, metres, and must rubber stamp (usually they don't) every single radio, cable, or satellite station offered in Canada -- think Soviet Russia or China).
The operator doesn't really understand why this is the case, since the regular Sunday Ticket has been approved for years. He says that Rogers likely has a petition before the CTRC, but with anything that involves a large, bloated bureaucracy (my words) it's tough to say when, or if, we could get it.
Man, I miss my "grey' market DTV dish.
 
I've asked Shaw the same thing and they didn't know why at least you got an answer. We're always light years behind because of all the damn processes to get things approved in this country even for things that do not affect your health. It's quite ridiculous and it's quite stupid we're not a third world country we have the money and resources to access this stuff yet we have the worst process for this kind of stuff

Believe me it's been a hot topic and now that Ontario want more of our oil resource money it gets even hotter. If the federal governement touches our oil money, you bet we're going to seperate and i would be voting a big "YES". I'm originally from Kitchener so i feel your pain.

Anyways give me my damn fins in HD NOW :). I'm going insane

All power to you. as my favourite writer constantly says, alta has a more realistic shot at separating than que does,a nd the country won't see it coming. I really hope it happens. This isn't the kind of place I want to raise my young son in. anyway, at risk of getting this thread moved to the political board, I agree -- It's ridiculous we don't even have the chance to buy ST HD here
