Here's some info for Cogeco Customers:

The free preview for GOLTV is on March 21st and 22nd, March 28th and 29th, as well as on April 18th and 19th.

This will allow all Cogeco customers to watch the first 3 matches airing on GOLTV.

I have so many products from Rogers that I was able to talk them into giving me a 3 month free trial.

They've offered me similiar before - and I only have cable.

Mind you, it's only $2.70 or so a month ...

If you don't already have GolTV as part of your cable package, Rogers, Cogeco, Star Choice and Shaw are offering the match on freeview, so you will be able to see the broadcast on GolTV without having to pay for the channel.

When your month is mostly up, just phone, cancel the pack, and ask them to add just 428 for $2.69 a month.

It's advertised on Rogers site at https://www.rogers.com/web/link/ptvBrowseThemePacksFlowBegin?forwardTo=themePack&group=1 if they say they can't do it, just phone back until you get someone who knows what they are doing.

So we have to order an entire package to get golTV?

That sucks.

Paul if you read this, what would convince me to get gol tv? Tell Rogers to let us get it individually. I don't want to have to get leafs TV, the world fishing network, golf, raptors just to name a few.
https://www.rogers.com/web/link/ptvBrowseThemePacksFlowBegin?forwardTo=themePack&group=1

like wtf who watches a fishing show? Actually who is willing to pay for it?

Edit ok I see on the left side create your own package.

So we have to order an entire package to get golTV?No - read my post above! It's $2.69 by itself - many people have gotten it this way - me included.

Trust me, if you love footy, GolTV is worth the extra bucks.

Extra Time alone is worth the cost.

Hey, I don't have a problem paying for a channel if that's the way it's going to be, but don't send out an email saying that the channel will be free for the match and also post the same info on the club site. This kind of shit really pisses me off. This could very well be Roger's fault. That wouldn't exactly be a shock.

Totally agree. I was going to subscribe. But figured I could wait since it's gonna be free. Anything to put off to talking to one of the zombies at Rogers. Now here I am scrambling to add the channel with hundreds of others calling in at the same time.

Here in downtown TO, Sweet FA for free from Rogers re: Gol.

And I rushed home early from a very enjoyable event to watch this believing it was going to be on for free.

Have never subscribed to Gol, not getting me now. Cancelled Fox when they stopped showing EPL live in Canada and wouldn't dream of buying Shit-anta.

Way to go soccer, shooting off another toe on its foot of credibility. Are there any left?

Why wouldn't you subscribe to Setanta if it's EPL you want?

03-21-2009, 08:05 PM
I waited for a while, but got a Rogers rep. This guy knew about the freeview and said there was a problem with the freeview in my area. I live in midtown! Anyway, he gave me the sports bundle that includes GolTv for 3 months, free. I'm going to end up keeping the channel anyway, so this is good by me.

I'm watching on my TV now, which is all I wanted

Does anyone watch Fox Sports World? I just added goltv only for TFC and wondered if fox was good for any programs.

Great way to start the season!

greatwhitenorf
03-22-2009, 08:55 AM
Shwade. Can't stand how Setanta operate. Always look and sound cheap and slapdash. Their feeds constantly go dead in the middle of games. I'm always picturing their tech centre being run out of a refurbished Irish grain mill but still powered by a water wheel. And now they're going out of business. Whata shock.

FOX used to have a decent spread of EPL games, but when they gave that up in Canada, there was nothing to justify keeping them on subscription. The nightly news casts are comically bad, little better than high school standard, though Bobby McMahon was good, just a little hard to understand with his Scotch accent. And the Italian games they show have these overwrought, babbling Irish announcers. Gone from my dial and good riddance.

I miss the old EPL triple-header Saturdays on Sportsnet. Add that to the Score's Sunday game and the EPL retro and review shows, plus Champions League on TSN and I've got more than enough to go along with watching TFC.


Would like to give GOL a try, but here we are getting dicked around again when it comes to soccer on TV. Probly not their fault, more Rogers', but not a nice way to start their first season with TFC.

Watched last night's over the internet with KC's home announcers doing a decent job of calling the game. Tried to link up the FAN broadcast but it was about 30 seconds delayed from what the screen was showing. Can't say the Fan play by play was anything great, but first go-round. Glad they're on radio.
