This sounds great! I'll look for it on YouTube, since Mav decided they required a higher satellite TV option package than I presently have...

Does anybody know if MAV TV is available as something else on Bell TV in Canada? Can't find it listed anywhere but sometimes American shows end up on other channels in Canada.
