Digital and Satellite Services
Digital cable and satellite television platforms in Canada typically offer the same range of services as analog providers, with several additional services beginning at channel 100 and above.
In addition to the category 1 and category 2 services noted above, digital and satellite services also offer a range of timeshift channels, which may be either network affiliates from a different time zone, in the case of broadcast networks, or a time-delayed retransmission of the original programming feed for cable-only channels. In addition, all four regional feeds of Rogers Sportsnet can be offered on a digital or satellite cable service; only the local feed can be offered on an analog tier.
Digital and satellite providers also run a package of audio services, commonly called "digital television radio", from providers such as Galaxie and Max Trax.

Famous quotes containing the words satellite and/or services:
“Books are the best things, well used; abused, among the worst. What is the right use? What is the one end, which all means go to effect? They are for nothing but to inspire. I had better never see a book, than to be warped by its attraction clean out of my own orbit, and made a satellite instead of a system.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“We now in the United States have more security guards for the rich than we have police services for the poor districts. If you’re looking for personal security, far better to move to the suburbs than to pay taxes in New York.”
—John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)
