It has been integrated for quite a long time.

I have seriously considered dumping cable for Netflix and internet downloads.

Canadians will be using the exact same client we're already using.  The only thing that needs to change is the small number of strings in use will need French translations, if they don't already exist.  It's just a simple video streaming client.  It doesn't need to declare anything at the border.

The Xbox networking protocol already adds an "eh?" to the end of all Canadian packets, so the infrastructure is in place.

Paradise for me is a private bit torrent site, and utorrent or Vuse running RSS feeds. It's like a PVR.

Unfortunately, that arbitrary border causes more problems than not. Services frequently get stripped down before making it into Canada. It's dumb. That's why I hope that the netflix streaming makes it here intact via Xbox Live.

It's been 13 years now since I've had a tv subscription. I don't really miss it at all, except for sports. But I follow hockey and sumo and both sports are frequently broadcast online.
