free preview for opne month

boner achieved!

Just checked my PVR

Success!!

Have they revealed how much the channel will cost after the free one month?

I hope that its included in my HD package

so whats so special about this channel? Any significants besides another sports net channel?

Canucks games baby!!!!

Telus better get it soon.

sswwwwweeeeeeeeeeeettt

so this is a preview and people currently subscribing to the HD package will have to pay extra....
WTF!!?!?!?!?!

are the canucks games going to be on the old ch22 sportsnet then?

So, it's basically a channel dedicated in broadcasting games from Toronto sports teams. Who cares? they suck anyway.

My understanding is as follows.

It's a free preview for now.

When Canucks season starts, you'll have to pay extra for this channel. It will carry the 12 games per year that were previously shown on PPV. So either way you'd be paying to see those 12 games.

Something else to note: All games that are broadcast on Sportsnet and Sportsnet ONE will be live streamed on sportsnet.ca. So you could watch there as well.

Personally I think this is all crap. I was pissed off originally when I found out Shaw wasn't able to carry Sportsnet One. Imagine Rogers buying the rights to name the stadium and then not letting the local fans watch? I don't know how long of a contract Rogers has with the stadium but it would have been nice if they allowed BC residents to watch the channel for free for at least half the season, if not the entire first year as a good will gesture. It's not like they would have really been losing money since BC residents never had access to that channel to begin with, plus I'm sure Shaw has some sort of contract with Rogers to allow them access to broadcast it. I can't say I'm ready to fork down a bunch of cash to pay for a channel I'll use twelve times in a year; I would rather have left it as a PPV.

Meh, guess I'll be spending more games at the pub then! :D

It's most likely going to be part of the HDplus package with Shaw. If you don't have HD expect to pay 2.95 per month.

its free trial right now. depending on the digital cable package you have it may or may not be free. if you are required to subscribe and pay for the channel it is $2.95

from my understanding.. if you have digital cable w/channels up to 58 it'll be free

unless i heard wrong..

btw its not just toronto, its regional based

Sept. 22nd for Telus

i can watch both channels but shaw doesn't have the them listed as anything and the programming schedule just says To Be Announced

My understanding it's part of the HD sports package on shaw. If that's the case it couldn't work out better, already have that. Instead of paying extra for PPV games they'll now be included. Great news IMO.

Even if it's a bit extra it's worth it IMO if you watch a lot of hockey. Take NFL Sunday ticket, works out to about $10 a weekend. For me there is no better way to spend a Sunday and that $10 then on every NFL game in HD, totally worth it.

I'm gonna switch from bell to shaw soon

sportsnet one is part of HD and included
- u also get the regular channel

non hd customers also get it if you have up to channels 58 and are digital

Customers who do not subscribe to Classic Cable can subscribe to the channel

Sportsnet One is only available on digital

Makes sense. Rogers insisted that shaw put this as part of basic cable or just regular digital cable. It was originally suggested that snet one will fall under the premium teir like setantanta
