Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I need help! I want a small pocket camcorder but I'm not sure which one to get. I don't want to fall into the hype of the Flip because I worry two hours won't be enough. What should I be looking for when considering a small camcorder and where can I get a good quality one with expandable memory? Thanks!"
I am yelling despite no caps lock....but JOD why the heck do you think that my cable/satellite company will probably replace the signal with absolute trash?
Yes, we do get high definition broadcasting and it is the same quality from the United States....please explain yourself, I get my programming from Bell Express View, http://www.bell.ca/shopping/PrsShpTv_Dth_HDTV_Landing.page?selectedtab=2
Take a look at their programming, and it all comes the United States from somewhere.
So...how is it trash?

Um, did you read the link in my message?http://www.digitalhome.ca/content/view/1691/1/
The CRTC allows Global television (actually any Canadian television station that buys the rights to a program) to substitute their signal on every channel (CBS, Fox, etc). This is called sim-subbing, and happens no matter what Bell says on their web page.
While this feed originates in the States, it's been well documented that Global is processing the feed in real time to add logos, voice-overs, and the reason for the sim-sub - commercial substition. This is the reason some of the plays get missed, among may other problems (have you ever seen you show disappear just before the end or before the credit roll, as if someone changed the channel?)
In last weeks game, the pre-game show was flawless, but at kick-off the quality dropped through the floor.
People are screaming, and several newspapers have picked up on the story.
Again, read the link if you want the details.
