TSN: TSN Blackouts - Mendes wants your feedback

[Stylizer1]

To be honest I haven't had a Sens blackout in nearly 15 years.

 

[Cosmix]

I don't have any blackout issues for Ottawa Senators games because I live in Ottawa and subscribe to both TSN and Sportsnet services. I am on Bell Fibe service.

 

[TeamRenzo]

Not sure what he can do about it, unless he’s gonna propose that they have their own streaming platform and sell directly to fans like the Dallas Stars are doing.

I would gladly pay for an Ottawa Sens streaming platform

 

[Tuna99]

Also ask why the feed dies 3 times a period, Sportsnet feed is worse. But the game feeds they are providing us at home with TSN and Sports subscriptions is crap, stream dies at least every 15 minutes. Gets so bad I go to Team1200 sometimes

If you want guaranteed good feeds for Senators games, subscribe to TSN and Sportsnet as Prime Video add-ons.

Thosee feeds suck though. You get all the games but the streams are weak and feels like a Russian-Stream from back in the day.

Every time I've watched a hockey game on prime it's been flawless, is it somehow different when using a SN or TSN subscription through prime?

I go direct through the website app and it’s terrible, might do the Prime thing, thanks for the tip.

I think @Icelevel means in general. I've wondered this too.

Because no one has cared before. Mendes actually cares about Sens fans and wants to make this a better experience for all of us.

I've never done prime with the TSN or SN package, but they occasionally have feature games they'd show as part of the basic prime account, it would just be the SN feed of HNIC or whatever, but always great quality for me. I watched one of the Monday night games on prime too and it was perfect too.

I use an IP service that is an agent of Distributel ; Dristributel is part of Bell and the server is in Toronto - Outside the Sen Viewing area.
The IP Service I use is in the Sen Viewing Area; If I lookup locaton details I confirm this.
I use NordVPN and I connect to a Server in the Sen Viewing Area; If I look up location details I confirm this

I get blacked out by Bell on TSN5

-- I have a couple good work arounds so I can watch.

But this is a Bell issue recognizing I am some how via their server in Toronto and using that to black me out..

 

[Icelevel]

Because this is the first year he has worked FOR the team?

I don’t mean by Ian specifically. I mean by anyone.

How does this work?
If you are a prime subscriber then you add tsn and/or sportsnet? It costs extra? (I know I can check into it myself but….. )

$20 a month each to add them as a channel on prime, might be able to do a yearly discounted price idk.

Oh ok. That’s too much compared to what I have now.

 

[Beech]

the advantage of being old.. Simple TV.

Bell Fibe.. basic package, add a "sports sub package" and get Sens, Habs, and a guarantee of 2-5 other NHL games a week.

At 5-10 games a week, you get your fill. In fact, overkill.

 

[Loach]

What if this was a thing in other markets too? Say Calgary and Edmonton because things are being run out of Vancouver. Kinda like people saying it kicks your location to Toronto when really you're here. Or it says blacked out and it ian't. Bell could have a bigger problem on thier hands.
