Well it took them long enough but it seems that the lovely folks at Apple have relished that Canadians would like a way to download TV & movies legally.

I'm sure that the details of why TV downloads have not been available in Canada until now are outside of the realm of the providers, but with both Xbox and iTunes in the game now the future looks good for getting rid of my cable (jk).

At the moment the selection is not stellar, Little Mosque On the Prairie, The Rick Mercer Report, Corner Gas and NHL games and others; but with CBC and CTV we can hope to see shows like Heroes, Gray's Anatomy, Lost and The Amazing Race soon.

At $1.99CDN and the current strength of our Canadian Dollar. this could be a good alternative for those who don't have a DVR.
