masster Posted August 15, 2008 Author Share Posted August 15, 2008 The online schedule has not been corrected to reflect this yet. However, my understanding is that you will need a digital box to watch this live. For example, if you are in the Pacific region, the Blue Jays game will be live on Sportsnet, but you will be able to watch the game live on Sportsnet West.

DigzTFC Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 THIS IS BULLPLOP!!! Tape delay at 11 pm....WTF. I'm sick of sportsnet carrying these games. If you don't want people to watch the game don't try to get rights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Massive Attack Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 If you can't get the game live I suggest its time you get digital cable or satellite. You are going to be forced to do this soon anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read the same as well on a Sportsnet blog. Not everyone has the digital box, I assume... so some might still be out of luck. Are the Blue Jays playing at home that night? (If so, that is going to be one helluva traffic jam on the Gardiner/QEW...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VPjr Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 This is indeed great news. I'm sure that a combination of our complaints and some internal negotiations at RSN made this happen. Good decision RSN and thanks to our soccer friends at RSN (you know who you are) who helped make this happen. By the way, tomorrow is the first broadcast of Soccer Saturday on RSN for the 2008/2009 EPL season. Gerry and Craig will have interviews with Dale Mitchell and Steve Nash. the shows starts at noon EST (9am PST). Bound to be some good stuff for all Canadian soccer fans and especially Whitecaps fans.

Lord Bob Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Well, if it is digital cable only then I, personally, am still up the creek despite being in the Pacific region (because, you know, over here in Victoria we're <i>totally</i> interested in watching the insignificant Blue Jays nap their way through another loss). Still. It's progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul-toronto Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Sportsnet West and Pacific will not require a digital box if you are out west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 I don't think it's digital cable only. If you live in Victoria and don't have satellite or digital cable then the only channel you get is Sportsnet Pacific. So you will see the game live. It's only those without digi cab and sat in the East and Ontario regions who wont see it live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ed Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 It is digital cable only, otherwise they would not have specified 'for those viewers with all Sportsnet channels' in the release. So if you are in Sportsnet West territory, I believe the non-digital version will show baseball, have to go to Sportsnet Pacific for the soccer. Alternately, in Sportsnet Pacific territory, soccer on digital Sportsnet West. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
