Comments on: Why can’t we stream TV in Canada? http://justinjackson.ca/why-cant-we-stream-tv-in-canada/ all my projects Mon, 19 Jul 2010 05:01:42 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Jess McMullin http://justinjackson.ca/why-cant-we-stream-tv-in-canada/comment-page-1/#comment-16 Jess McMullin Sun, 22 Mar 2009 00:40:57 +0000 http://justinjackson.ca/?p=9#comment-16 This has nothing to do with Shaw. It has everything to do with licensing deals - the content from Hulu, etc. is only licensed for viewing in the States. Canadian networks would be (rightly) cranky if Canucks could catch the shows that the networks are paying big bucks for...and until the Canadian networks get their act together (say, joining Hulu which is a collaboration of US networks, or creating Hulu.ca). On a practical note, if you look hard enough, you can find proxy servers that will let you watch US streams. This has nothing to do with Shaw.

I too have been frustrated by that same screen. I suspect Shaw has a hand in this. This is a great question… I too have been frustrated by that same screen. I suspect Shaw has a hand in this.
