Zip.ca (finally) bringing streaming movies to Canadians

By Comments (11)

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.

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.
