TORONTO — Canadians with PVRs might want to reprogram their box ahead of the Vancouver Olympics as some popular shows switch over to a different channel to make room for Games coverage.
Olympic broadcaster CTV says most of its regular lineup will move over to A channel, except in the Atlantic region, for two weeks during the Games.

It may eliminate some of the sim-subs for the network HD channels as none of the A channels are in HD at the present time. No relief for SD viewers.
