There is an app called JustWatch, punch in the show and it will tell you the service if it's available.

Use Tubi all the time for older docs, the ads are climbing in number but nothing like Pluto, Plex also has some free TV options if you have it installed

In a sense they have all gone "premium" tiers.. cheap or free for ads, pay money for no ads. Can't speak to Apple+ TV or Crave, but certainly Prime and Netflix.

I didn't ignore CBC Gem. This was a story from The Canadian Press about pay streaming services, and Gem is free if you sign up. It didn't really fit the study or the story. In fact, the article doesn't mention Gem once.
I used to pay $5.99/month for Gem to get News Network and have the shows commercial free, is it included now in the free service?

Another thing, unless you are close to the TV towers in the US, the drop in power will impact many Canadians. I can get the 3.0 channels out of Buffalo.. barely. Any tropo, low clouds and bee farts and they vanish. For me at least

My former Vet clinic is on the list of corporate companies. There was one point where I took my very ill dog to the clinic and the first thing I was asked.. how are you going to pay for this. Again.. former.. and I have pet insurance.

SOWNY » Ready Or Not, Here It Comes: NextGen TV Takes Another Leap » January 3, 2025 4:54 pm |
NextGen = ATSC 3. Won't happen here. I have one TV that has the needed tuner and it's a Sony so it will decrypt the signal if I set the region to USA. Problem is, trying to get the signals from Grand Island can be difficult as they are more directional and broadcast less power. A little tropo and the antenna loses them all. I found the Buffalo Fox station had some interactive things at one point.. weather, news headlines, but the picture wasn't really that much better so I went back to the regular HD channels... says someone who thought getting the new TVO on an old B&W in London was a huge thing!! 3 channels... luxury!!!

I'm not surprised that there were no major server issues with the NFL games that I know of. The US and some of Canada cares about the NFL. the boxing was a global event. Try a World Cup final ;)

I watch some of the subcarrier channels, throw on an old western or comedy show now and then 51.3 and 51.4 I think? 49.3 Comet is sometimes good for an old Sci-Fi show.. 49.3
