For instance, let's say you didn't want to pay your cable company for HBO , but you wanted to be able to watch the Walking Dead and discuss the new episode on CP the next day. Does Netflix/SHomi/Crave, alllow you to do this?

Just like the selection on Netflix and the ability to switch regions (I'm using Un Block Us) for different content. New shows don't appear that quick on Netflix, so you can't watch the episode from yesterday for example of any show on Netflix. I do like their selection though.
Can't speak for the other services, but in trying to find out what Shomi has, I couldn't nail down a page that shows all the content like I can with Netflix for example.
And I know there is no basis for this feeling, but Netflix started it all and I would rather give them my money than give more money to a company like Shaw that is sheltered from cable and satellite competition in this country. Just my personal opinion. These cable/satellite companies in Canada continue to get rich off of us and still moan about competition and how hard done by they are.
