Good news, I just read on the Marketing Magazine web site (ironically owned by Rogers), that cineplex.com now has digital movies available for rent to Canadians. Airport is only a $3 rental (in standard definition) away.
I already have an $8 a month Netflix.ca subscription, but it is nice to have movie options (in addition to iTunes and the PlayStation store).
Argh! Although the Formula One season just ended, Nascar ends Sunday! But there is a TV at work (and at the bar next door) so I should be OK.
Strategy for Sunday: New Simpsons episodes are available for $3.50 on iTunes (totally worth it). Weeds is available on the Showcase.ca website. Desperate Housewives (that I'm much less desperate to see) is available on ctv.ca . I'm not going to be able to see the new Boardwalk Empire, but it will be online eventually (it is not exactly must see TV). I can also browse thru The Amazing Race if I get board next week thanks once again to the CTV web site.
I hope they don't cut Andy Roony's pay as I'm not going to be able to watch 60 minutes.
I'll make it, I think.

I cut the cable over a year ago - the only time I miss it is during the CFL season.
If I'm interested there's lots of stuff to watch on line, and with the money I saved on cable fees the $80 eventually paid for a digital OTA (over the air) antenna wasn't even noticed.
I currently get 4 digital and 3 analog channels OTA and that's more than enough for me..... I'm still getting the same amount of commercial time per show - but at least now I ain't paying to have the network try and sell me something :-)
