Surely out of context and not on the proper thread but since this one I guess is read by almost everyone , here it goes.

CBC and SRC HD signals, that were ITC or unscrambled on C Band via canadian Anik F1 Satellite, are now scrambled and will stay that way if no pubic reaction happens. Well .... , we are not americans, were non of this would even be considered. For instance, PBS , the public broadcaster, who is merely funded in less than 500 mill by the fed gov unlike the 1 billion CBC gets from canadian taxpayers , on the contrary , trys hard to advertise to the masses that they are also free via satellite (btw on the easier to get , less expensive , Ku band) rather than adding the extra cost of encrypting their signals. Not to mention this all happens after the digital transition is finished and low power analog transmitters are shut down accross the country leaving millions without access to the flag station they pay for via taxes.

I dont know why ..... but ...... the word criminals comes to mind.
