I don't suppose we can get "TVA Sports" here in Calgary on Shaw, can we? That's the French-language sports channel that shows a lot of the Impact games. They do have a fair number on TSN and Sportsnet One, but there are a lot that are only available on TVA Sports.
I don't speak French beyond the basics, but I don't mind watching sports in other languages. In fact, I subscribe to RDS because I'd rather watch the Habs in French and SD than the Leafs in English and HD.
On a semi-related note, you can subscribe to Sportsnet Pacific through Shaw for a couple of bucks a month so you can watch all of the regional Whitecaps matches. Unfortunately it is SD, obviously, but it is also cropped to 4:3. RDS on the other hand is SD but 16:9, which is much better. Aspect ratio is more important than resolution, IMO.
