That is very interesting regarding US TV in Canada. I assume that some ExpressView and BEV? signals spill into the US. Is it also illegal to receive signals/have such a subscription here in the US? If I had a BUD would it be illegal for me to watch the FTA CBC channels on Anik?

I was just looking at the DW Tv's website. It seems that DW actually encourages hotels to receive their FTA signals and show them in their guestrooms/TV lounge.

Just for the record--I do not at present receive any FTA televison in any restaurant. My fiancee is renting a very small cafe/convenience shop inside an office complex. The cafe has an existing cable line that goes from a television stand to what was a dish on the roof. So far, she has a television that shows local programming while people buy their morning coffee/pastry or their afternoon Coke/Sandwich. Mostly she has it tuned to a local news broadcast or TBS baseball, or a CNN Headline News Broadcast that TBS shows at 5:00am. (Again, TBS is local OTA in Atlanta).
