Oggie Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 Answer - Because they blacked out all hockey on the Sportsnet and TSN channels tonight. Rogers owns Sportsnet and TSN. Bell owns the Satelite provider. And they both own the Leafs! Boy that's a subtle way to force you to buy either Leafs TV or the NHL network. I called Bell Express Vu and I had to wait over half an hour to voice my displeasure. NOT one hockey game on despite the fact that I have two sports packages. I'm tempted to cancel Sportsnet! Has this every happened before?? Dan O. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ADB Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 The Leafs showed games on LeafsTV before Rogers and Bell bought the team. Status quo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRIFTER_016 Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 Living out West, I got the game on TSN-Jets tonight. It was nice not having to stream it off the net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G.mech Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 (edited) You are very lucky. I have Leafs TV and my kids force me to watch the games....even their last two "wins" were brutal. Their performances last weekend were even worse. Oh well, at least Kessel finally scored last night so we don't have to watch him pout on the bench like a little girl anymore. If Pahneuf keeps up his stellar performances, Kessel needs to score a whole bunch more to make up.... Edited February 8, 2013 by G.mech Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oggie Posted February 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 I realize they've blacked out Leaf games for years but last night was unusual. The Canadians, Senators and a third team were all blacked out so there wasn't a hockey game to watch even though I pay for the Sportsnet channels. I called Bell and she said their call centre was lit up with complaints. So are they going to black out every hockey game to force you to pay for Leafs TV. And why when I used to pay for NHL network were the Leafs games blacked out on NHL1 to force me to buy the Leafs TV! My internet hook up is DSL so streaming isn't really a great option!! Frustrating!

Hooked Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 My internet hook up is DSL so streaming isn't really a great option!! Frustrating! Dan O. I guess you have a lite DSL? I have Bell hi-speed DSL and streaming is fine. And I can download at 1.2 MB/s, which is pretty decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirCranksalot Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 I thought there would be a punchline answer to the question posed by the title. Something along the lines of "all 3 promise a lot more than they deliver" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
