I had the weirdest chat with Videotron's customer support...

If I correctly understood what she was saying, the service is available in the region, but you the receiver can only be found in Montreal?

I was wondering if anyone could confirm this... though I must admit that if they still only have the 8 channels...

Could be the case. I have not seen any HD models excepts online. I got my SA2200 from RS. The Videotron website says:

Note: Image quality can vary significantly depending on your HDTV settings. *Available only in the Greater Montréal area. Where technology permits
