Smithsonian has already landed a deal to get its high-definition content seen overseas, but now it's looking to share content with our neighbors to the north. Smithsonian Networks has announced a new deal with leading Canadian HD broadcaster High Fidelity HDTV that will see its HD material aired on Oasis HD, Equator HD and Treasure HD -- three of the all-HD channels operated by High Fidelity in Canada. According to the release, Smithsonian Networks programming will be added to the broadcast schedules of the aforementioned channels "within weeks," so at least you folks up there won't be waiting too terribly long to enjoy, eh?
