Sportsnet One

[merlynbc]

Anybody heard yet how it will be delivered.. through a regular tier or as a specialty channel with an additional monthly fee???

 

[jojoh07]

think tsn2 , same package probably

 

[mooger_35]

That would be nice... but what are the odds it will be in the package I already pay for. I'm guessing the odds aren't favourable.

 

[merlynbc]

My provider, on the Sunshine Coast, picks and chooses what he includes to his best advantage. The tiers are different than in town. Will have to wait and see I guess. Their help desk doesn't know yet.

yeah, i was thinking it would be a replacement PPV option rather than another cable channel.

 

[jstewismybastardson]

all that ive heard so far is it will be free preview for 2 months

 

[merlynbc]

That takes us just about to the start of the regular season..... typical

 

[mattola]

it will most likely be an additional $2.95 or something like that per month. well at least I hope.

 

[mattola]

300

lol I always see people want to put a highly intelligent/funny post for the milestone ones like this so I just rather put the number

everyone knows Im neither intelligent or funny..... Im just a fat goalie

my provider, Coast Cable, is part of Eastlink. They are having ongoing discussions with Rogers, as of now they are not even sure they will be carrying SNOne, let alone knowing where it will be bundled and how it will be charged.

Sheesh.... lots of good things about living in a small community, but a few tough ones too....

yeah I saw that on their webpage.
all of their FAQ answers are basically "don't ask us, it's all up to your cable provider"

I do agree that they will be forced to have their shit together by Oct.
hopefully that means that the obligatory free preview (from Shaw or whoever) will cover some of the season.

 

[merlynbc]

not sure how my reply jumped ahead of your original.... time stamped 5 hrs before I sent it...... weird

 

[puckhead]

Shaw and other providers are already taking heat from people out here that missed the SN1 BlueJays game yesterday.
get your shit together, Rogers

 

[merlynbc]

Just trying to milk as much $$ as they can get for the service, I imagine. Can't really blame them I guess.

 

[jstewismybastardson]

i detest the Blue Jays but last night alot of people across Canada came very close to missing the second no-hitter in Blue Jays history because the game was on Sportsnet one

 

[merlynbc]

Botchford's take........ could be a while folks...

So you can't get Sportsnet ONE: Who should you blame? - The White Towel

 

[jstewismybastardson]

no announcement that i can see but Bell has snet1 and snet1Vancouver now in hd channels 1409 and 1436

i didnt really care about the blue jays games not being available anyways
