Surely the idiots down east can use a PVR to record our games and watch it after they watch their game. I want to watch Flames only.... from start to finish. I am not interested very often in a marathon hockey viewing day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankyou. ********************************************************** Out here we get Jets protected area on TSN & out in Alberta Flames games seem to be on SN Flames most of the time. I'll stay up for regular station Flames games but I have to be very interested in a particular game to pay the price (or find the alternative ) & then stay up late. If you see 8:30 as late imagine us fans further east or our buddy CF in Germany. Sorry, not shedding tears DD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being from NS, I used to only be able to watch Flames games on HNIC or the occasional TSN game. SN was only Sens games. 11pm start on Saturdays or 10pm weeknights that you could actually watch them. Playoff games started as late as 11:30pm. SN likes to show whatever team's barn they hold the rights to. Rogers's Place. Roger's Center. Roger's whatever.

I think part s still TSN holding broadcast rights in certain areas in Canada that allows them exclusive rights to certain areas. The NHL decries piracy but when the block subscribers in certatain areas they encourage it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some days I don't get back home(125kms back) until 7-8pm. at least if they start at a reasonable 7pm I can watch a period or two. I was not asking for sympathy but rather consider the times for the home crowd, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still have issues with coverage, but nothing like back there. Fortunately there are other ways to skin a cat. I am able to watch every game, though sometimes the streams are a little muddy.

They would have to be able to identify Alberta on a map of Canada to alter the schedule around us. Remember, according to the MSM, Canada=Toronto. The rest is treated like outer Mongolia. I am also not into marathon hockey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

travel_dude Posted October 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2017 Another two games this weekend, another two games not covered on SN. SN 360 is not available even though you get SN1 and SN Flames and SN Oilers. Not sure how they claim to have coverage of all games, since it's not a normal channel. That's like TSN 1-5. Extra cost to get the 2-5 channels. Anyway, I will get to watch on a dubious stream. I guess I shouldn't complain. Can see every Oilers game ever played. I suspect the World Series and important NBA games take precedence. You know, for all those Brooklyn Nets and NY Knicks fans in Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Telus just gave me 360 with my sports package. I thought it was automatic. That seems unusual that you don't get that channel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under old packs so they may be different now. I should get them to swap dome crap out, though 360 is almost never used for regular season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Die hard Flame Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 As a die hard Flame we would rather have all Flames games televised and not interested in other teams' games. Why aren't we privileged? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why aren't we privileged? That's not really the point. You can live anywhere and be a fan. You can only live in some areas and watch all of the Flames games. What cable companies and channels do it make it so you have to pay extra for the luxury of watching the game they said would be available. If you want to watch the Flame play CHI, AZI, NJ, WASH, etc you have to hope you have 360. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travel_dude Posted December 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2017 Again, we have a situation where two Oiler games get national coverage, while Flames games get SNW, regional coverage. Even the stupid Nucks games are televised outside BC. Hmm, both have rinks with the naming rights owned by Rogers, while SN is owned by Rogers. Hmm, coincidence?

[sarcasm]Well, Rogers has a hard time showing all of the Flames games what with all of those exciting darts games, poker, spoon on your nose competitions etc. ETA: They only have what, 6 channels? Cut them some slack. [/sarcasm] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A game between the Flames and Lightning and have to either have SN360 or use a dubious stream. Don't have 360, so it's option 2 again. Nice to see the Oiler play on SN coverage tonight.

When the Flames get a new arena (yes, I still think it's a matter of when), they just need to sell the naming rights to Rogers... End of problem...

I think if the Flames moved I’d be done for hockey. I don’t really follow any other teams. I listen to Canucks radio because it’s here in Vancouver, but I don’t like them.
