Sounds pretty discriminatory to me. You can get Playboy TV with "All the channels", but you have to specifically "opt in" to OutTV? Absurd.

1. It's funny how 'won't you please think of the children' means that porn is okay, but gays aren't.

2. Shaw is evil.

I hope, even with a Conservative government in Ottawa, that the CRTC shows some backbone and punishes those bastards at Shaw.

3. We can't get any of the gay channels here in the Dallas area.

Even if we wanted to opt in, they are not available. :(

4. when will people learn...

cable is evil }( . I've had DirectTv for 6 years now and will NEVER be without it again! Logo was live the first day on air. Granted it is not in the most basic tier of channels but it is only 5-10 more for those extended channels.

5. Unfortunately, I don't have a south view for a dish.

I am in a town home, and don't even get me started on the fact that I don't have a high def DVR. TiVo high def is out cause we don't have cable cards.
