I live in the Buffalo, NY area. One of the perks of this has always been that we get a couple of Canadian TV channels - both thru the cable company & via an antenna. CBC broadcasts their HD feed from the top of the CNN Tower, so we get crystal clear reception over then antenna. I love hockey & Hockey Night In Canada is always on (unless there’s a Sabres game) So, you put my love for hockey together with my love for HDTV & you get my love for CBC.
And, as much as I hate to say it, their coverage of the Olympics is 10x’s better than NBC.

I am a BIG HDTV geek. I have 2 Sony HDTV’s. The 1st is an old 42″ plasma (I say old because I bought it in 2001 and paid a fortune for it) which is located in my Pool House. I have an HD receiver thru Time Warner & I also have a Terk antenna on the side of the house (Time Warner recently added Fox HD to their line up so it’s only real use now is picking up CBC out of Toronto) The 2nd is a 56″ rear projection monster that’s also hooked up to an HD Time Warner receiver as well as one of those 1950’s TV Antenna’s. This allows me to watch something on the antenna while The Bride is recording something on her TiVo (and before you ask, no, it’s not an HD TiVo)
I’m one of those people that think EVERYTHING should be in HD, but I know that we’re years away from a time where that will be a reality. But what ticks me off the most is that a majority of major sporting events are in HD and when I find one that’s not, the letters & emails start flying!
