Sportsnet has regional channels and cant show the same game on each of the regions unless they have paid for national rights
You really should try and understand how these things work before you spout of your hyped up rhetoric

Perhaps I should have typed slower so you could understand. Firstly, I said that I was watching the time shift, CBC Ottawa signal on Shaw. So yes, I believe I've joined the digital revolution.
Secondly, I wasn't talking about national rights, just regional ones. But I can understand how me stating "the so-called national broadcaster lacks the ability to televise two simultaneous games to the same region" could be clearly misunderstood as talking about the national rights.
TSN can show games in HD on TSN and TSN2. Sportsnet can show games in HD on Sportsnet West, One or Flames/Oilers (and in fact, showed Flames and Oiler games simultaneously a few times the past season). CBC only beams 1 signal, HD or otherwise, into any region, and only has 1 channel (albeit it with regional differences that allow viewers to watch games from different regions using time shift) televising hockey. My point, which clearly you missed, is that if CBC can't televise on two channels, then why are they allowed to braodcast simultaneous playoff games.
