Apple TV Junkie (appletvjunkie.com) has arrived on the scene to provide a helpful new service for users of the Apple TV. It was born out of a surprising shortcoming on the Apple TV after noticing that there was no comprehensive list of high definition movies anywhere. ATVJ fills that niche with a full list of all HD movies which is updated daily.

The HBO network has been added to the Canadian iTunes store selection. Including the following shows:

Great news! Looks like we’re making progress ( to parity with US store)!

The Canadian iTunes store is now offering TV shows in HD now (finally!). Not only that, some of the premier TV shows are now available for the first time, such as Heroes, House, Lost, etc. Previously, these shows were not even available in SD from Canada. The networks that are now available are: ABC, Fox, NBC, and Warner Brothers. The need for keeping a U.S. account for Canadians is disappearing over time. Once we have near-parity, no need for those US iTunes gifts cards!

Now the (somewhat) bad news. Each HD episode is $3.49 CDN and a typical season of HD will set you back $60-$70.  SD shows are $2.49, seasons are $40-$50.  These rates are in keeping with the US/CDN exchange rate but don’t follow the typical iTunes music policy of $0.99/1.29 in each country regardless of exchange rate. I suppose this another concession Apple had to make to the TV/movie studios. It also seems that only the latest/current seasons are available in HD.

Some hand picked highlights:

  • Lost, Season 5
  • Heroes, Season 3
  • 24, Season 7
  • 30 Rock, Season 3
  • Battlestar Galactica, Season 4
  • Fringe, Season 1
  • Friday Night Lights, Season 3
  • House, Season 5
  • Prison Break, Season 4
  • The Office, Season 5

These look to be the first in the series – teasers to get you interested.

These episodes, as far as I can tell, are not available for free on the U.S. store.

Previously DD 5.1 SS was only available on select HD Movie and HD TV Show content. Earlier in the week I discovered that Apple had added DD 5.1 SS to the new release movie Step Brothers, and around the same time a group of ATVJ visitors also noticed DD 5.1 SS showing up on some SD TV content.

To test the TV Show theory out myself I downloaded two different TV Shows which are available in HD and with DD 5.1 SS. And since downloading HD TV content gives you an SD version, I only had to purchase once. My conclusion is that yes indeed Surround Sound does exist on some SD content. As you can see in the few screen shots below, I downloaded an episode of Heroes and an episode of Battlestar Galactica, both in HD and both HD version containing Surround Sound. What I found though is that only the Heroes SD version contained Surround Sound. One angle I didn’t test out is wether or not a stand alone SD download version contained Surround Sound.

There is no official word on this from Apple and Apple’s website still states that 5.1 Surround Sound can only be found on HD content, wether it be Movies or TV. It was only last week that I had noticed that Apple had removed any sign of 5.1 Surround Sound from all movie content, only to have it return a few days later. Hopefully this is just the start of more positive changes to come to Apple’s digital download content.
