If you are there on time, it allows you to "Watch Live" even if it's not on your channel, as long as you have rights to do so.


I'll say, that SN-NOW started off clunky and troublesome, but the past few months it seems to be very reliable.
SN Now used to be great, solid 60fps streams with no drops. Now however it's stuck at 30fps which absolutely sucks for hockey, and it's often paired with stuttering or buffering. The only good ways to stream hockey now are either Gamecenter paired with a VPN or illegal streaming sites. It's absolutely ridiculous that a pirate stream can provided a steady 1080p 60fps stream while Sportsnet charges you for 720p 30fps
