Simple Satellite is being turned into a lifetime dish warranty (up from 2 years) - not a bad deal for those on Canadian soil

 

[Mr Tony]

dang it...and with WWE going from TSN (which is included in every package including digital basic) to the Score at the end of the month, my costs just went up

What 3 new HD Transponders?

I feel like I must have been napping.....

"What 3 new HD Transponders?"

Actually the number is 6 - but that is for HD and SD programming. Those will be the last new transponders until Ciel gets Industry Canada approval for a new satellite.

Cancom is launching HITS Plus HD service this fall so Komo will probably be added + SRC.
