I used Sportsnet Now instead of cable. Here is the good and the bad.
The bad
It isn't cheap it costs over 25 bucks a month.
The quality of the stream is often suspect, it isn't live, there is often poor quality definition.
The worst part of the service was regularly it would freeze in the first 10 seconds that I clicked on the video of the game. This problem would continue even after I re booted my computer. I would often miss the first period from this problem.
There are regional blackouts for out of town games like the canucks or sens.
The good
It streams all sports net channels.
All flames games were broadcast.
It was legal.
My verdict was that I quit half way through the season because I was really upset with A the Flames play and B the quality of the service at the price. It was often easier for me to stream illegally and the picture quality was better.
The way it worked for me, I wouldnt recommend it to anyone. That said, they may have improved the service in the last year.
