Zip.ca (finally) bringing streaming movies to Canadians
For years, Canadians, such as your struly, watched enviously as U.S. friends streamed Netflix movies to their PCs or TVs. Frustrated I was, as there was no way to do this in the Great White North. Well, today Zip.ca, the popular DVD rental service that sends discs to your door, will announce movie streaming for Canadians.

Sync has learned that Zip.ca will announce today a new streaming online movie service, allowing Canadians to download and watch the top Hollywood movies and TV shows on their computers and other devices — legally, that is.
Zip.ca says this online movie service will be the first of its kind in Canada, and bringing thousands of movie titles to Canadians instantly when it launches sometime before the holidays. Check with Sync often for further details.
More than 70,000 Canadians already use Zip.ca's DVD rental by mail business.
Ottawa-based Zip.ca says the Canadian online movie service will be "enhanced by a partnership with market leaders Roxio CinemaNow and Sonic," suggesting you might be able to burn a copy of the film to a disc.

Hey Mark,
I am very interested in using this service with my home theater, but I don't have a computer hooked up to it.
Any suggestions on equipment or software to steam HD movies on my home theater?

used zip for 2 years until i found out about another great site DVDLink.ca
This site is mix of zip(for movies) and gameaccess(for games DVDLink.ca is only site in Canada to offer movies and games for one price. Great selection, price and customer service
So far there hasn’t been a single incident where I’ve received movies from the bottom of my list. Everything is coming from top 5. Give these guys a try before turning back to local video stores.
