If you’re anywhere in southwestern ontario area, then OTA TV is the way to go. This is obviously because of the proximity of the US border. After installing my OTA setup, I get 60 channels (including subchannels) pretty much always, with more when atmospheric conditions are favourable. I have a more powerful setup but somewhere like Windsor, you can get 20 or 30 channels without even trying.

adrian mccartney,
You’re right, Free To Air satellite can be a great way to pick up some free channels legitimately. I had left it off the list since I didn’t want to cause confusion on legality… FTA boxes are one firmware update away from pirating Bell and DirecTV.

Kevin,
I’m considering trying an HDTV antenna. Global just starting broadcasting HDTV here in Edmonton… and they pretty much just flick a switch and show a bunch of primetime US shows anyway!

MLR,
Some of the content would get through, but not from Hulu. Of course there is a way around that with a US proxy server… but that makes it quite a bit less legal since the broadcast rights don’t extend to Canada.

You missed one option. Free To Air satellite. It’s unencrypted satellite transmissions. Most systems only cost a few hundred and then you can get your TV for free.

#9, agreed. Just cancel it. you’ll catch a lot of shows on CTV, CBC, Global, and TV Ontario (for Ontario, of course, or whatever locals you’ve got). The HD comes in crystal clear over the antenna; I splurged for an attic antenna, it’s even better. If you have to get rabbit ears, get the kind that plugs into a power outlet.

Stuff on other channels, just ignore it for a month or two, it won’t be long before you don’t miss it any more. Like smoking. You’ll also be able to get up a flight of stairs without being short of breath.

#10; I’m under the impression that the REAL reason Hulu hasn’t been trying very hard to expand their availability is because their US advertisers only want to pay for the bandwidth of their target market, and Hulu doesn’t have an international marketing model.

I've written about using Play On to stream TV through your Xbox 360 or PS3 (Link). I'm not sure if that would work in Canada, though.. if they block Hulu? Any one have information on that?
