If you have a friend in the us who wouldn't mind hosting it, you can get a <A HREF="http://www.slingmedia.com/" REL="nofollow">Slingbox</A>. That should get you around the Canadian goverment. It is basically a device that lets you stream someone's television on the internet. <BR/><BR/>That person would have to:<BR/><BR/>1) Have a cable subscription that included the channels you wanted.<BR/>2) Have an extra cable box to hook to the slingbox.<BR/>3) Have a decent internet connection to support your watching of the shows<BR/>4) Have a tivo to make your life complete, so you can watch tv your way (<I>tivo is optional, but it would allow you to record the show when you wanted to. Might be able to get away with a cable dvr and combine this and requirement #2 together. I personally love the tivo.</I>)<BR/><BR/><BR/>The Sling box is basically about $200. The tivo could range in costs from free to $100, but would cost $12.95 a month. Cable boxes are $5 a month. The cost add up, but might be worth it to watch what you want.<BR/><BR/>Just thought you might want to know.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15513876.post-1148734102883798552006-05-27T07:48:00.000-05:002006-05-27T07:48:00.000-05:00Okay.

Maybe not "several" channels -- but you can get National Geographic on StarChoice and Discovery. And Show Case plays a lot of HBO shows, too. Show Case is a good channel to have.mamatuliphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02692442843330582571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15513876.post-1148733973675599012006-05-27T07:46:00.000-05:002006-05-27T07:46:00.000-05:00Are you going with a satellite company or just wit...Are you going with a satellite company or just with basic cable?
