Just asked around and you are correct. It seems Dish has an exclusive agreement with the Canadian Gov't. They also have satellites in differing orbits than we do to support any of you brave enough to live waaaay up north. In Toronto you wouldn't have that issue tho.

...starting to wonder if modeling our healthcare after the canuks isn't a slippery slope to not being able to watch F1 in HD!
