Also, the overall quality has been poor lately. Does anyone know what's going on? Thanks.

Are you outside of Canada or are you using a DNS/VPN service to make your internet traffic look that way? I found that some Rogers stations (Fan 960, 660 News) weren't working for me as well when going through my home router (which uses Unblock-Us), but if I don't go through that router (work, cell network, etc.) it works fine.
I'm not sure if this is a new geoblocking policy by Rogers or if it is just something temporary. I do know that the one "local" BBC station that I listen to (which is normally available outside of the UK without any special tricks) has become geoblocked for the duration of the Olympics. Apparently this is because some of the content was being broadcast from an Olympic site and therefore could not be streamed internationally as it would step on the toes of broadcasters in other countries. So even though no actual Olympic event was being broadcast, the simple fact that it was coming from an Olympic venue was enough that the BBC wasn't allowed to stream it internationally.
I'm not sure if something similar is happening with Rogers' stations, and that also wouldn't explain why TSN works for you. But all I know is that when my internet connection is "Canadian", it works, and when it isn't, it doesn't.
