Have to agree with all of this. For those of us that spend time outside Canada, there is no reasonable way to legally stream even if you’re willing to pay. Would love to just buy a package and maybe use a VPN or register a device to the account. Sadly, it’s pretty much impossible so you’re forced to stream in whatever way is possible. It’s getting that way with all streaming services (Netflix, Prime, Crave, cable providers, etc.), not just sports and live TV. The regional/country deals that are struck with entities like the NHL or entertainment distributors are simply forcing people to work around the rights holders. At some point I would hope that the people in charge of these deals realize that making it easier to pay for a world-wide service will make them more money. I pay for full-deal cable in Calgary, so SlingBox was awesome but their servers go offline Nov 9 as they’re selling streaming services now.
