I think you could get them, so stations will actually charge you but I
won't pay so I don't bother. I do pay less than $10 per month for
Netflix and $4.99 to be a prime member of CBC which then gives you all
their programmes, minus the ads. I have no more use for my DVR
because you can watch all those things anytime you want so not worth
the bother.
One advantage I like is tonight there is a whole hour of Coronation St
and I like to watch it later in the evening. So I will just zoom in
on chromecast at the time that suits me and pick it up then, minus the
ads.
