as per your original post, it 'puzzles' me why in this post you seem to be against paying anything to receive the private, for-profit services.

If you have an issue with the changeover to digital, take it up with the current government. With CBC having taken substantial cuts every time the CONS get it passed in their 'protect the rich' budgets, it seems you might be 'suffering' from those cuts. Again, try appealing to the current government to restore funding and then the CBC might have the funds to boost their 'over the air' signal.
