Recently I cut the cord and got rid of my cable. I been trying f to stream sports via Kodi but I just can't handle it as it's too low of quality and unreliable.

I've been thinking about buying Sportsnet Now..which is basically streaming of all the SNET chAnnels. Wondering if anyone has it and has found a way around the regional blackouts? I want to watch the Leafs games.

If you're in Calgary and want to follow the leafs, better to get Game Center, or ask someone with a Rogers phone plan that has it included but hates hockey for their login password.

I use r/nhlstreams for every oilers game. If i'm home i watch on my pc. if i'm out and about i watch on my phone. same thing with r/mmastreams for UFC events.

I've been using those Reddit streams but I find there is some lag and sometimes completely freeze up and whatnot.

I was hoping someone had experience with SNET Now because all the Jays and Raptors games would be on there as well.

If you find someone with a shaw account they get it free as well with their cable package, my parents made me a shaw email on their account and i log in with that. (also works for shaw freerange)

Leafs games are out of market here, so SN Now won't work at all unless he lived in the Leafs region. The app only works with location services turned on to determine your true location, so DNS/VPN services won't bypass the blackout.

I've seen on Amazon, can't remember where but they've got other boxes that have all the sportsnet channels.

Ah so this is what I was wondering. No way around it with a VPN eh??

Use LazyMan instead. It's actually better quality than what I get with SNET now. Hockey only though so you're SOL for Jays and Raptors.

Another alternative might be to have one of your family/friends with shaw share their account with you so you can watch via freerange.

Is LazyMan just Reddit streams? Can you run it on Kodi??

No it's not reddit streams. The guy backends to gamecentre live streams. You can pick the game you want, the feed (home/away), quality and much more just as if you had gamecentre live.

You can run it on Kodi in some circumstances...you can google search and there's a reddit thread on it. I'm not sure how to do it.

Oh wow that's awesome. I'll check this out for sure. I got someones SNET Now for the Jays, so this should hook me up with the Leafs games. Thanks bud.
