Someone actually mentioned this idea at the consultation I was at. He obviously had more knowledge than myself in the area, but he suggested getting everyone on digital TV - even if it meant subsidizing the necessary hardware - as it would allow Shaw to add more value in other areas like Internet. Although I can only assume that Shaw had considered the idea previously, it is nice to see that they have moved beyond the cap and gouge model and are actually finding ways to improve the network's efficiency. This can only benefit everyone.
