so after years of waiting, both The Daily show and Colbert Report finally start broadcasting in HD, but what does CTV do? screw us over by still broadcasting the SD version on the CTVHD channel. what's up with that? are there different licenses or costs associated with them broadcasting it in HD?

and that's not the only area where Canadians get screwed over. we have a dedicated Discovery HD channel, yet the best Discovery Channel shows aren't on there. Dirty Jobs, Mythbusters, Deadliest Catch, you're forced to watch the SD channel to catch any of them. instead we get the same few shows rerun over and over again on the HD channel

why do Canadians get the short end of the stick when it comes to HD?
