So to sum it up, it doesn't mean squat here in Canada.

Not completely true. Most new HDTVs have an ATSC tuner and if you live in S. Ontario, Vancouver, Montreal or Ottawa a person can get free over the air digital broadcasts.
Calgary has Omni digital coming on line soon.

Global and CTV have applied for licenses in Calgary and CTV should be running by the Olympics.

Ok, I see what you're saying. It doesn't have a cable card slot and as you say this means squat in Canada.
My OTA info is correct though and it'll be good to try out when available as this will give the best picture compared to cable or satellite.
