i think a lot of what is mentioned above is illegal and is essentially stolen content, but for many people they will justify it as "grey" because by nature they are cheap and will defend their positions, so lets not go there. That said i know for a fact as many of you do, the big 3 ( Bell, Rogers Telus, ) are putting huge pressure on the the CRTC to be able to IP block for stolen content ( IP TV and your 15 dollar a month subscriptions) so the landscape may change going forward if they get their way . ( Personally i think its the governments fault in the first place for letting Bell and Rogers Collude to create a Monopoly of the market and can influence pedal at will to get their way. )
So trying to keep things out of the grey zone, how much is TSN.ca subscription exactly ?
I think with Tek Savy unlimited internet, netflix streaming and a TSN.ca service everything would be above board and you would still be way ahead.
I have already dropped my ridiculous Bell Fibe 25/10 internet and gone tech savy 150/15 at about 2/3 the price . I am now looking at Tek savy TV and other options as Rod is.

And protecting Rogers and Bell is ridiculous as they have zero ethics, they have broken privacy laws, overcharged at every opportunity and in my books 2 of the worst run businesses (in terms of dealing with them from consumer point of view).
good luck subscribing to NHL or TSN as they will not broadcast to you local games, I signed up for NHL package 2 years ago only to cancel because I couldn't watch local games

As an avid soccer fan. I have 2 Apple TV’s in the home which I air drop DAZN on to the bedroom and living room TVs.
I also have purchased an amazon fire stick which I had IPTV along with some other streaming applications loaded. I can watch most Canadian tv live. As well as USA UK etc. All live.
The 4K amazon stick was about $90 at bestbuy with tax and paid $40 to have it loaded with iptv and apps thereafter.
if the firestick was available when I purchased the Apple TV’s years ago I would’ve bought these. Buy a firestick you will not regret the purchase

it's not grey area, it is legal and well documented I believe. so you bring it up but say don't want to go there.
And protecting Rogers and Bell is ridiculous as they have zero ethics, they have broken privacy laws, overcharged at every opportunity and in my books 2 of the worst run businesses (in terms of dealing with them from consumer point of view).

For those of you who use a fire stick which allows you to download thew app so you can subscribe, perfectly legit, and something i am looking at .
for those of you who pay 15 bucks a month , cash only or bank transfer with no receipt, who get all of the channels you want ... well, go on justifying all day how its fair to stick it to the man ! parents of the year right there.
But all that aside, this is not a discussion of whether people are stealing or not, if you are you are and go ahead and justify it , if your not good for you, it is really just about if Rogers and Bell get their way the landscape may change limiting options.

Looks like I missed some fun here over the weekend.
My intent was never to get programming for free, I just don't want to pay $125/month when all I really watch is the Leafs.

im in the same boat Rod... i like the tsn app idea. so might go with tek savy for a few basic channels ( CBC ) and pick up TSN app. just not sure how many games TSN will carry vs Rogers.

There are lots of legit options to watch sports if you're willing to pay and are worried about your morals going out the window (and lets not get into the "morals" of companies like bell/rogers etc). Add up the cost of tsn, dazn, etc etc. and you're almost at the price of getting cable again without the benefits of more channels. I took a look at teksavy tv. $20 a month for a bunch of garbage channels that I'd never watch... want sports? add $20. want more? add another $20. Sound familiar?
For those of you that could care less, IP TV is a great alternative. This service is not without its downfalls too... but UFC 251 this weekend was fantastic on my couch.
