Stamps Game on TSN...

[badatusrnames]

TSN has been frozen up for 30 minutes+ on shaw cable and I'm missing the Stamps game! Argh!

[bluetek]

Not the case for me. Its working fine.

[badatusrnames]

^^ Who is your TV provider? All my other channels are fine on Shaw Cable (not digital).

[badatusrnames]

I guess I'm not the only one...

I just got off of the phone with the retards at Bell because they're blacking the game out here.
He explains the concept of the blackout, I explain to him that it's a 56 km radius for cable/satellite, 120 km radius for over-the-air channels (kinda moot now that TSN carries all of the games), which I am outside of.
He then explains the concept of the blackout again, I then try to get through to this barely-speaking-english pos AGAIN that I'm outside the radius.
He then tells me that it's a CFL regulation that games are blacked out in the cities they're played in. Now I'm losing patience (I've already told this idiot that this happens every frickin' year, and I have to phone them to get it fixed every frickin' year) so I just tell him that maybe I should be using Starchoice, since my fucking neighbour can watch the fucking games on that. Followed by an "unfuckingbelievable" as I hang up.

I almost told him I was watching it on FTA anyways, but HD would be nice

For some reason... ch. 42 and 21 are the same...

A blast of static, a frozen commercial and now another blast of static and back to frozen commercial.

I didn't realize the game was blacked out in Calgary. Blackouts suck...

Why would they black-out a Calgary game only in Calgary? That doesent make too much sense seeing that the majority of viewers would be from Calgary.

I guess I'm getting it because i'm on the National TSN feed.

14-0 Stamps on top!

To protect gate revenues, so people go to the game instead of watching it on TV.

Fuck you, I wish I was watching the game!

Go Stamps Go!

They black out the game because they don't want to take money away from the team. And the team wants your ass in the stadium seat, not on your couch.

Its some chinese show on channel 21..

True, doesent seem like a good way to grow the game if they continue to do this.

lol, I dont mind since I'll get most if not all the games regardless, but will they be blocking all Calgary home games this season?

[scboss]

i have tsnhd through shaw works fine. Is it because of where the feed comes from?

I agree, you'd figure they would negotiate a better deal with the broadcaster to offset whatever they lose in ticket sales. In return, TSN would get access to an additional market of 1,000,000 people.

LOL... Bell ExpressVu won't let me select channel 400, saying it's blacked out here, but if I select 402, the TSN Alternate feed (which says it's running World Series of Poker on the program guide right now), I get the game.

Such bullshit... If I can't have the game, you shouldn't be able to either!! I wonder if maybe some of the providers were uncertain whether or not the game was supposed to be blacked out?? Channel listings on 02 list CFL Football on TSN...

Now the Chinese people are frozen up
