Should be a good one to keep checking back on, lots stuff reprised from the HBO archives as well as current material that we didn’t get in Canada before such as Real Time with Bill Maher (Friday night at 11) and the Chris Rock show.
They were running some kind of John Adams marathon earlier today, a replay of Recount and now they’re running back to backs of Little Britian USA…
While on the topic of sat tv and cable tv and such, the CRTC is making it easier for us to pick and choose those channels we receive, perhaps it’s the end of the tier system, where you have to take five channels to get the two you really want to watch.

haven’t seen all the details on the CRTC decision so I’m not sure how the new system is going to work, but I’m hoping that this means that I get to weed out some of the crapola I have to take at the moment, so I can get some of the others that I wouldn’t mind looking at but don’t want to buy yet more tiers…
