Author Topic: TSN drops the ball again (Read 9592 times)

Doherty · « **on:** August 10, 2008, 11:33:14 AM »

I was searching through the digital guide on my tv trying to see what time the Cup race was on at ad what channel could watch it on I came to the realization that is isn't. TSN has its main channel covering the PGA tour and its secondary channel covering the exact same thing. So my question is what the hell, why would you have 2 channels dedicated to showing the same thing and im pretty sure there HD channel is showing the same. NBC is covering olympic basketball so no hope even from the American station, this sucks because I enjoy watching the road courses races.

TSN didn't drop the ball so much as kick it over the neighbour's fence with the pissed-off dog:

Oh, the race is on the alternate feed, it's just virtually none of the cable companies have the virtual feed anymore.

I'm tempted to get a cheater dish and give a big middle finger to TSN and Rogers....Might as well cut out the middle man, right?

I was looking for the Busch ( I will always call it that ) yesterday on TSN alternate, where it usually is. After checking my guide for channel 401, the normal channel for starcoice, I realized I can't even get that channel any more. I can't even type in 4-0-1. The receiver won't even accept it as a channel. I called starchoice to complain and they said it was a problem with the channel and they were in the process of fixing it. I don't know wether that was lip service or what. It's still not fixed today.

Race was to be broadcast on TSN alt at 1 pm according to the TSN website. Maybe some martians have hi-jacked the satellite. On my way to bitch at Starchoice again. And hell, I can't even get it on radio. 550 am or 1280. There talking football. If I hear any more Favre crap, I'll never eat cheese again.

I did know it was on ABC and saw it. I just wanted to find out from starchoice what was going on so I didn't miss todays race. I knew it was only on TSN alt.

how stupid is that to show the Busch race at normal time but not the cup race. you'd think with some canadians in the cup race today that they would show it on one of the channels instead of golf on both channels...what a disgrace. and they want nascar to be big in canada, but how are we suppose to watch it that late when people have to work in the morning?
