TSN: TSN Blackouts - Mendes wants your feedback

[West Coast Eagles]

This is correct. ESPN+ streams all games minus regional and national broadcasts.

I live in Massachusetts so can’t watch the Sens/Bruins without NESN and there are no real national broadcasts of Sens games in the US. The real problem is NHL network. Those games aren’t on ESPN+ and there is a weirdly large number of them.

Yeah this is the real issue for me. I’m in the MSG region so at least those games I understand and I know I have to work around them. The NHL network ones are a real pain the ass because they’re always a surprise. I’m pumped it’s game day, get stonewalled and then sail the seas

How about when you pay for a premium service like CI (or whatever it's called now) and you still get blackout games?

Not what Ian is looking for,
Looking for regional subscribers being blacked out in Sens region.

I have Rogers. It's all the games on Sens games on tsn. The listings are the channel listings.

Are you in Senators local region though, never mentioned.

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..

Nord only has servers in Canada for Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal.
Try the Montreal server,
I also use Nord.
Another reason, could be , sites are using geo locating s/w as well, to prove location.

Should have mentioned in this thread earlier I’ve never had an issue for TSN5, using cable.

Unbelievable that he was allowed to...

Would have been nice if they'd just been banned them somehow. They'd made a point of going in to basically every thread and turning it into a pissing war.

Lots of blackouts throughout the year, last time I purchased it. The whole reason I cancelled it and stream the games for free instead. The NHL is literally too incompetent to get paid from a willing customer.

It depends I suppose on where you are located. If you are located in Toronto and subscribe to Center Ice to watch Ottawa Senators games, you might be subject to a blackout because you are in the Toronto Maple Leafs home market area and TML requires blackouts of other teams' games when TML are playing games.

It's part of the monopolization of markets that the NHL allows; it is not incompetence.

Could you give us a coles notes of the thread please?

Qoutations are better than paraphrasing to avoid errors.
