Wait, you were the one promoting Bell because "They're Canadian. Both of them provide original programming." OilKiller points out how big the "Canadian" aspect matter, since they wanted to delay coverage of the Junos. So you resond back with "I"m sorry they are making money?" Way to shift the argument. You are in fact backing up OilKiller's claim about how the Canadian networks make most of their money by retransmitting American content. So why are you arguing with him?

Our arguements differ in that he feels that these types of stations are not important to add to a channel lineup, whereas I feel they are.

Your statement about an interview you heard on the radio really adds nothing to the debate. Digital phone has not been up for discussion, but if Shaw thinks there is more money in digital phone service, what does it matter? I'm sorry Shaw is making money? The fact is, Shaw and StarChoice just added a bunch more HD programming, so that makes the whole "Shaw doesn't care/can't handle additional HD" statement spurious.

Reading through various internet forums, such as Digital Homes Canada, you'll see a recurring attitude from in the know costumers, who say Shaw is only now beginning to catch up to where Bell was 3 years ago in terms of HD. It also seems fairly consistant that they feel the more HD shaw adds, the higher the compression rates/lower PQ will be. Shaw saying they can't handle more HD in the relatively recent past, I would argue, adds much to the debate.

And finally, digital TV <> HDtv. Take a look at all the newer digital channels in the past few years and only a portion of them will have been in HD. The terms are not interchangeable.

HDTV will be the norm for TV one day. Just as black and white changed to Color. The resolution of each channel may differ, but rest assured 4:3 480i analog TV is on the way out.
