hectorj Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 As does Winnipeg, Calgary, Edmonton, Yellowknife. Why does Sportsnet give the rest of the country baseball? I don't even think it is a Blue Jays game. I find it odd. Is baseball not as popular on the Prairies? Hopefully this crap won't happen in the next round; unfortunately, the World Series and MLB playoffs will be in full force. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul-toronto Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 If you have one of those digital boxes, you should be able to get all of the sportsnet channels. In my area, I see then on channel 74, 75, 76 while the regular sportsnet ontario is on channel 22. The reason I mention this because I had this digital box for a long time before realizing I can get these other channels Most people just assume the programming is the same on all of them....not always.

Tuscan Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Hey you forgot to mention Saskatoon in there! We get it live as well. Softball/slowpitch is actually very popular in Saskatchewan, moreso in Regina than here, so I'm surprised they gave us the live feed. I won't ruin everyone else's fun by reporting the score.

Sportsnet Ontario is channel 20 for me (22 is The Score) and 65,66,67 are the other Sportsnets. My cable company is a small local independent company. It is why my Cable Internet is so fast. Fewer connections to the LAN. It's pretty cool, I get the NFL Network and Teletoon Retro for free for having Digital Cable (along with the other Sportsnets and the TSN Alternate feed). I only have Digital Cable for Timeshifting and VOD Movies (so I don't have to go into the video store the next town over). 12 KM is a bit far to got to rent a movie that you then have to return. VOD is man's greatest invention other than condoms and birth control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Dave Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Guys, just call your cable company and order a digital box. It costs like $6 a month or something. Use it tonight to watch Canada live. Then return it in 30 days. $6 to watch the game live, not bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piltdownman Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 If your worried about ruining the score stay away from the board tonight. Are you nuts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free kick Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 quote:Originally posted by Dave Guys, just call your cable company and order a digital box. It costs like $6 a month or something. Use it tonight to watch Canada live. Then return it in 30 days. $6 to watch the game live, not bad. Carefull there:D. i did something similar with the Canada vs Estonia game. I ordered Setanta ( 14.99$ / mo ) just to see that game. The plan was to call and cancel the following day. Well, i never got around to cancelling it until last week. The combination of other interseting matches that catch my attention as well as procratination meant that it ended up costing me considerably more than just 14.99$.

king1010 Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 according to the rpb forum gol tv is also showing the game live.. i wonder if it will be their own feed or sportsnets' feed http://www.livesoccertv.com/channels/goltv-canada/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul-toronto Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Setanta is a longer commitment...totally different conditions. One month and you can take the digital box back; or they might even have a free for a month offer out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnie Monster Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 For those in Metro Vancouver, the game is supposed to be live on Sportsnet West (ch 145 on Shaw Digital). It repeats on Sportsnet Pacific (ch 22) later tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
