I was not watching, but she managed to turn on CC. I found your article here after a few Google searches. Shaw had nothing. Thanks for documenting this hudden menu. It saved me from a lot of frustration. I remember using this menu when I first set up my PVR/Cable box but I forgot all about it until I read your article. It might have been described in the cable box doc. I used it to set the HDMI output to 1080i. It defaulted to 720P. Thanks again.

I wanted to add that every mental health organization and arts organization I know has received cuts this year. Even though Gaming funds (federal) are soaring, organizations that really need that money have seen it slashed. Also, Cineworks (independent film) had to actually close down for a month because of arts funding cuts in general. Google David Diamond (Headlines Theatre)to see the way both provincial and federal cuts have affected the arts. Hey Adam,

Apart from blatant lies and secrecy I particularly don't get why households making under $75K would want this guy. He cut the GST so everyone would notice up front but if I make $500K a year, I spend more on high ticket stuff than the guy who makes $75K (even worse for those who make less)--- so guess who wins?? Meeee! And wow, that income splitting seems like a great idea- except if I split my income with my husband and the $75K girl splits it with hers....guess who saves tons of tax money----meeee! The lower income earners should be really pissed off..ask for the GST to go back to where it was and give the tax breaks to them---but instead I see more Con signs on their lawns---what will make them wake up????
