HD TV shows come to Canada

The Canadian iTunes store is now offering TV shows in HD now (finally!). Not only that, some of the premier TV shows are now available for the first time, such as Heroes, House, Lost, etc. Previously, these shows were not even available in SD from Canada. The networks that are now available are: ABC, Fox, NBC, and Warner Brothers. The need for keeping a U.S. account for Canadians is disappearing over time. Once we have near-parity, no need for those US iTunes gifts cards!

Now the (somewhat) bad news. Each HD episode is $3.49 CDN and a typical season of HD will set you back $60-$70.  SD shows are $2.49, seasons are $40-$50.  These rates are in keeping with the US/CDN exchange rate but don’t follow the typical iTunes music policy of $0.99/1.29 in each country regardless of exchange rate. I suppose this another concession Apple had to make to the TV/movie studios. It also seems that only the latest/current seasons are available in HD.

Some hand picked highlights:

  • Lost, Season 5
  • Heroes, Season 3
  • 24, Season 7
  • 30 Rock, Season 3
  • Battlestar Galactica, Season 4
  • Fringe, Season 1
  • Friday Night Lights, Season 3
  • House, Season 5
  • Prison Break, Season 4
  • The Office, Season 5
