Can you explain that differently? I've read your comment a few times and haven't been able to grasp it.

My comment, based on a possibly faulty interpretation of your comment:

I don't feel entitled to get US media as a Canadian. It's just extremely prevalent. Our country watches CSI at the same time yours does, and American Idol, and pretty much everything else. So we get used to feeling like members of the US media market. Sure we have our Rick Mercer Report, et al, but the dominant media is American.

I certainly didn't mean to complain. I understand that negotiating distributions rights for a country a tenth the size isn't high on the priority list of US distributors. What I was trying to say is that it catches us of guard (though less and less frequently) to find that for online services we are often excluded when for so much of our daily media lives we are full-fledged, practicing Americans.
