    Satellite Dishes in Canada are now against the law

    "The high court decided Friday that decoding encrypted U.S. signals not officially allowed into Canada was against the law - and the government pledged to an immediate crackdown against dealers. "

    "At least 500,000-1 million Canadians use one of those systems to watch unauthorized TV from the States. "

    Seems that the US companies hit the Canadian gov't hard.

              It wasn't the U.S. companies that complained; they were making money off all the Canadians who paid them every month. It was the Canadian providers who complained that they were losing customers to the 'grey market' dishes. This just means that if you don't know how to program your own card then you better be prepared to hand over a lot more $$$$$$ for it to be done then you would have a week ago.

              The government isn't going after people with dishes; their going to go after the people who provide the 'hacked cards' and the equipment to do it.

                  Yeah, that's what the article is about. Crackdown on dealers. Users don't have anything to do with that. As soon as they eliminate the dealers, the illegal distribution will stop. (Although I think it'll never happen)

                              Well, if you live in Toronto or GTA, just open Star Classifieds in the saturday Toronto Star paper and you'll see a lot of ads. They also have an online site - www.starclassifieds.com
