as a side note, both shaw and starchoice are not simsubbing... lol
And I believe theres a crtc regulation that stipulates if you dont have an OTA signal, you cant simsub, and globalHD does NOT have one....
ANyone in ottawa/london confirm/deny that their detroit ABC signal is NOT being simsubbed? Reply With Quote

Shaw doesn't carry GlobalHD (does Starchoice?)
My understanding is that its not a OTA requirement, its a requirement that the network can demand their signal is simsubbed over the US version as long as their version is the same video quality.
Would assume if by next year Shaw carries GlobalHD, then the US HD feed will be simsubbed by Global._______________

Feb 5th, 2006 06:18 PM #8Ive heard that too, unfortunately seeing as ABCHD is 720p, and global is 1080i, the same signal quality should also be thrown out, as global now has to convert it. Dont think global really cares anyways. Originally Posted by malbadon

When you watch American Idol of Fox, yet you are seeing Canadian commercials, thats simsubbing.
The network that has the Canadian broadcast rights of the show has ordered the broadcaster to overlay their networks broadcast of the show over the US networks feed.
In the case of American Idol as an example, it means whether you watch Global or Fox, you see the same Canadian commercials.
No one ever cares, except for Superbowl time

I do, there has been lots of time when one show is subbed, and then the next shows are different but whoever is in charge of switching it back doesn't do it till the different show is half over, its a BS policy. Originally Posted by malbadon

And seeing as HD is its infancy in Canada, and HD canadian channels screw up ALL THE TIME, the crtc made new rules for HD simsubbing... Too bad rogers doesnt feel need to obey them.
Definitely worst looking PQ of any HD football game Ive seen. Go Rogers! Go Global! Reply With Quote
