With HD though, it's certainly getting better. Many people in the States can't even get HD nNets (NBC, ABC, etc) from their satellite company (DISH/DTV). They have to get the OTA feed. If they do get the nets from their satellite provider, they certainly don't get time shifting like we do in Canada. Most of what my wife and I watch is primetime TV, so I love the fact we get East and West HD U.S. nets.
If we could get some of these crappy leeching Canadian channels turfed and some full scale American channels added, then the system wouldn't be all that bad overall. If the Conservatives have their way and get into power again, the CRTC may be a thing of the past (at least for controlling content) and we'll get even more competition and better channels/choice/programming overall for the consumer. It shouldn't be about what the corporations want. It should be about what we want as the customer.
