BEV also has to serve its French-speaking market and keep up with the fierce competition, and they are also getting way behind French HD (Videotron cable provider in QC offers more French HD than BEV)...

Did you see the "Hockey: A People's History" series? It was fabulous, all in HD, and only on the CBC. Of course, hockey games are often in HD as well. They do HD movies many nights, too. Oh yeah - they also carry "Planet Earth" from the BBC in HD, with some of the coolest nature shots I've seen.

Maybe you just need to watch the CBC more.

The big deal is that lots of French clients were sold the HD value pack by agent who didn't know that French HD channels came with the themes, that to get French HD you didn't need to sign up for the HD value pack. BEV is behind Videotron for French channel cause they offer Vrak T

I'll miss Euronews. Any idea what will replace it in Variety 3? It is a weird collection of channels.

You are allowed to "pick & pay" with Variety 3 channels.

Are they touching RFO? I subscribed to Expressvu when their originally offered it, just for that channel, but then when they switched from picking up the channel via satellite to off the air, the picture became horrible and I ditched them.

btw, how's the picture quality these days on RFO (147?)
