Shaw Cable to offer 600 episodes of Star Trek on VOD

The website has never heard of upconversion.
As we all know only TOS seasons 1-3 were transferred to HD. All of the other Trek shows will be standard definition upconverts.

BTW the website is Canadian so that is probably a Canada-only VOD offering.

SHAW is certainly making aggressive stabs into the Canadian markets. They just bought three tv stations for a dollar each. Not kidding!

But I have to ask. What is VOD? I'm nowhere near Toronto, so...
