As silly as it sounds, if I ever had to move back to Canada, I would suffer Fox News withdrawls. I've heard it is the billing that poses a problem for the U.S. satellite companies. THey can't collect from unwilling subscribers in Canada, so they do require a U.S. address for billing purposes.

Hmmm, Global latched onto the rights for Fox News in Canada. Isn't their ownership one of the Liberal party's big supporters (that unholy alliance of big business and socialism). Maybe they grabbed the rights with no intent to broadcast in Canada, just to keep it and its conservative viewpoints out of Canada?
BTW, sorry for the earlier defensive comments about just staying in the US. I just get annoyed when people make what seem to me sweeping generalizations and paint Canada as being some sort of quasi-Stalinist nation. We're just a little ahead of the US in the creeping socialism department.
