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.

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?

Just one more way to gouge consumers....

Mebbe proxy to go around the bs? Need a rogers or bell.based proxy server..

It's not the server, you need a cable log in from Bell or Rogers.  It's locked up tight.

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.

That's BS. This is the kind of stuff the CRTC needs to deal with, not that Canadian Porn channels show enough Canadian content.

Bad move... they need more people than ever on their side.  **** em.

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.

Oh man this is awful news.  All of the legit pay-someone-money ways of watching the CFL down here suck.

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.

Most games are on bit torrents but still this is disappointing

Oh. Well damn. ****** bags!

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.

You can't even watch highlights or features without a log in.

 

Yes you can. It's in the Video section - highlights and features are there. Under the home section - Scoreboard - Headlines - Videos - Blogs - etc.

I just went to Video->CFL and I couldn't play any of the videos.  I can't play the latest Videos either.  (I'm on Telus)

From the description it sounds like everyone should be seeing the same thing.  The exception being that Rogers and Bell users are provided some kind of login so that they can get to the locked video's.

Make sure you're not using Chrome or Firefox.  I tried on Chrome and it wouldn't play, but on IE it works fine.

You mean it works using Safari.  IOS 7 is just an operating system for the iPhone, not a web browser.

Just watched this video and I'm used a Commodore 64. Hoping to upgrade to a TRS-80 at some point.
