Actually, according to that link, StarChoice HD will NOT be simsubbing anywhere other than in Toronto.
Quote:
The Commission concludes that Star Choice was in compliance with its condition of licence in regard to its performing simultaneous substitution of CTV’s HD broadcast of the 2008 Super Bowl.
Since StarChoice only carries CTV-HD out of Toronto they only need to simsub their customers within reach of that station's signal. And since StarChoice does their replacement on a customer by customer basis, customers in Calgary will only ever have their service sinsubbed with Calgary stations carried on StarChoice. So even if CFCN does go HD on Jan 15, StarChoice isn't carrying it so can't replace the ABC-HD feeds with it.
