one note with the Canadian model
Not all channels can be bought alacarte. Canada has 3 categories of channels
Category A-you gotta carry it if you have bandwidth....these are the older analog type channels (cant buy alacarte)
Category B-you can carry it but dont have to

Category C-national news channels and all sports channels (usually can buy alacarte...these are specialty channels)
