Well, netflix doesn't do Canada (eh).  As a mythtv user, I rarely rent dvd's 
anymore anyway.  There are tons of good movies shown on the TV and, if I 
record from a Canadian channel, they are mostly unedited.  I just have to be 
more careful about ending times now.  I missed a large chunk of MASH (the 
movie) last summer too.
