Netflix to unveil new service in Canada

As a Canadian I hope this works out. We have nothing like Netflix, Hulu or any of the other streaming services here. The Canadian TV networks offer some online streaming, but the resolution is low and the quality poor. Licensing by Netflix may be a deal killer because the TV licenses are already tied to the networks.

Physical disc rentals would be a nice add in the future. We have Zip.ca, but I've head that it leaves a bit to be desired.


If the offering is affordable and there is plenty of content then I will be signing up for sure.

I have never even visited Canada, but I still think this is a great idea...other than the extremely late implementation.

netflix.ca is already live - about 20 minutes before the scheduled start of the announcement. Unlimited streaming for $7.99/mth. There is a one month free trial. The content selection looks a bit "sparse". I may hold off on my decision to sign up.
