    CBC had it down and I liked what they had. I liked I could go back and watch the games in full afterward and I liked it because you always missed something when your in the stands and I could always check it later.

    From what Ive seen Id rate it a 5/10 and Im not confident theyll get it right considering its not a real priority for them.

    As annoying as it is, as someone who watches a LOT of sports on digital cable, it happens a lot. It's not the channel, its the provider. The explination I heard is digital cable works kind of like internet, and it's basically if there is a bandwidth shortage for some reason. It's happened in basketball games I'm watching with less than a minute left in tied games. I've gone ballistic because of it. Nothing TSN can do


    And TSN appologized for it therefor its their fault? What? If I say something so ridiculously racist and offensive here that it becomes a news story even after it gets deleted by mods, and the Red Patch Boys as a group have to publicly appologize because of this horrible thing posted on their forum, is it their fault that I said what I said? They appologized for it right?

    All the commercials worked fine.

    They apologized for the broken up stuff and 'hoped' they had it sorted out at one point.

    That is a pretty straight forward that they had technical issues if you ask me. The game itself wasnt too bad for it but the pre game was brutal.

    I haven't watched a TSN broadcast yet because I was in the press box for both games, but it seems unfair to write them off after just two matches.

    TSN is new to this, so give them a bit more time before judging them. I'm sure they'll get it right.

    I'd think it would be Rogers, tsn sends them the signal, they send it out to the masses. I'm not saying I'm sure its not TSNs fault, it could be, this is definitely not my field. All I can say is when similar problems have happened and I've called and asked I've been told it's not the channel, but the provider. If people watching who have Bell as a service provider had the same problem then I guess it was TSNs fault, but it seemed to be on the distribution end rather than the raw feed end from what I could see.

    My mom has Bell. It was the first thing she said to me after the game. She didn't say it was unwatchable, but damned near. She said it was very frustrating.

    Bell seems to have something against TFC. Just picked up Monday's Globe and I turned to the Sports section to see what they'd say about the game.

    It literally said that if you want to hear anything about the game, you shouldn't be reading the paper, but should instead be on the Internet.

    Perhaps their sponsorship of Vancouver included a clause that they would provide crappy coverage of TFC in their media outlets.

    I work in the industry. You're wrong.

    How can it be on the distribution end when the TSN symbols do not go to black when the screen freezes? How could they cut to commercial when the feed was frozen from the cable provider? Why would TSN apologize publicly to all watching for the errors? Why would Bell and Rogers customers get it who were on both digital and non-digital signals?

    I have already stated this before.

    Read the terms and service for the board. I'm sure it states that the opinions expressed on the board are not those of the Red Patch Boys.

    Nice extreme example though.

    Just passing on what I was told, like I said it's not my field at all. When I've called and complained about this happening before (if you have money on a game thats tight to the end and can't watch the last minute it's.... frustrating) thats the explanation a few different stations gave me. Guess it's just a big game of pass the buck (I'll try and contain my shock)

    and extreme, maybe. But so is not getting a proper game feed!

    A lot of pass the buck goes on. You're 100% right.

    I can't disagree with that. As I said, pauses of 16 seconds, 13 seconds and 11 seconds almost made me want to switch to March Madness. TSN will get it right, and it will be glorious.

    TSN will be the best thing that ever happened to TFC. Our broadcast numbers have always been embarrassing low. TSN will fix that.

    TSN - Single handedly saved the CFL in Canada.

    TSN - Took the world juniors from a also ran tournament & turned it into must see tv in Canada.

    TSN - Somehow turned Curling into a major sporting event with huge broadcast numbers.

    TSN - MLS/TFC a work in progress.

    Absolutely. Judging by the activity on TSN's website following the first two matches of the season, there is already a substantial increase in interest from casual sports fans in this city. The TSN brand lends credibility to TFC/MLS, and it will foster significant growth in the years to come.

    TSN - is showing Curling on TSN while the FINAL FOUR is on TSN2...AS WELL AS THE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME!



    look the apologized pregame for their problems, but they didn't FIX them...these issues continued during the game...apologize all you want, but when they happen during the games, expect complaints

    To all of the facepalms above.....so? CIS is probably about as sparsely watched as darts. TSN2 is a fine station, and CBS has the Final Four if you don't have TSN2. I don't think that warrants whining.

    For what it's worth, live event transmissions can be a tricky prospect. I know we all expect every event to be a flawless presentation but these things happen here and there. It could have been a piece of gear or a bad wire...it's very difficult to say.

    oh and Prizby - East Link gets their signal from Rogers.

    Hating TSN is like hating the hot girl.

    You hate her because she ignores you but secretly you want to bone her.

    I've hated TSN...but truth be told, TSN has the power in the country to turn TFC and MLS into a bonafide power.

    So basically I am saying I want to bone Carts...

    Sorry that they didn't replace a competition with a Canadian entry with an entirely American event. Curling is more important to more Canadians than NCAA Basketball.
