JuranBoldenRules Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 Has anyone noticed lately that all video on TSN.ca is locked unless you have a cable provider who is a "TSN GO partner?" You can't even watch highlights or features without a log in. So far that's Bell and Rogers, so large swaths of Canada have no access to any content TSN produces outside of watching it on TV. Hope that changes before the CFL season starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JuranBoldenRules Posted May 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 I need Shaw to get on board. Me too. I have no idea what that entails though, and I wouldn't necessarily blame Shaw for not paying if that's what it does entail. I mean they carry TSN and TSN 2, I have both channels, why can't I see their content online? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Blue Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 Its complete and utter BS from Bell in another attempt to control more media. We pay for TSN and TSN2 through MTS, but we don't have access since MTS (and most other cable companies) are not willing to shell out cash to Bell just so consumers can stream media online when they won't get any return on that. This is particularly a pain in the butt when they broadcasted on TSN that to watch a playoff hockey game we should go to TSN.ca while we waited for a college playoff game to be over. Holy geeze I hate the media corporations in this country. I would however cut cable and pay for TSN if they decided to offer their online stream in a package. Also, not all the videos are locked for me. I get a lot of the highlight videos still, it seems its mostly just live streaming that is locked so far.

rebusrankin Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 That's BS. This is the kind of stuff the CRTC needs to deal with, not that Canadian Porn channels show enough Canadian content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBURGESS Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 TSN sucks. I'm already paying for their channel, so I'd expect to get the Videos too. They've locked all video out if you're not in Canada, so no watching the CFL on vacation. I get that it's their content, but once you pay for it, you should have access to it no matter how you choose to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacquie Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 I don't have Bell or Rogers but I can watch highlights and features on TSN GO. I can't watch live programming on the apps because I don't have those providers but no problems with the videos in the "Videos" section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iso_55 Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 Well, what do you expect when there's like 2 media giants in this country? The government allows it. And we pay, pay, pay... Look at the oil companies with the price of gas being what it is. Just like the media the oil industry is like a monopoly & they control prices.

The exception being that Rogers and Bell users are provided some kind of login so that they can get to the locked video's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
