Call it what you will, but Canada did make the switch, like it or not. I read on, I believe, elgato.com that every country in the world will either eventually switch to DTV or has already made the conversion. There were a lot of problems associated with the DTV transition here in the US -- stations with ATSC signals too weak to reach all of their intended service areas (the ABC station in Philadelphia is one example), the DTV converter box coupon program here running out of money, et al., to say nothing of the problems many people here are having with OTA DTV reception. It likely will be no different in Canada. I hope, however, their transition goes a lot smoother than ours did.
