Cordcutter service SimeTV Live to end service on March 31, 2020

I just got an email today from SimeTV:
Your subscription will end on
March 31, 2020
As of March 31st, 2020 SiMeTV will no longer be offering TV services.
Please enjoy the remainder of your subscription, however after March 31st, 2020 you will no longer have access and billing will be discontinued.
I wasn't watching much of this service, but SimeTV was a great "budget" service in Canada (for $10-bucks a month it gave us all of the major Canadian networks, and several US OTA-type channels). I had written an extensive "honest review" about this service previously, but it always looked like this was one of those "grey market" services that hadn't really explained their legality to anyone's satisfaction. Maybe that caught up with them.
Interestingly, their website recently showed a price-hike to $12.99/month instead of the $9.99/m I signed up for a few months back. More intriguing is that their site is now offering a "free" sign up, but does not display any pricing at all.
Too bad. SimeTV had its flaws, but the service was priced right and had lots of promise to be a very good service for Canadian cord-cutters.
What's your opinion about this news? Do you have any experiences to share about SiMeTV? Leave a comment below!
