Icon48 Cancelled Cable - Now what???

So I cancelled by Telus Home TV Service and when sports do start up again I am looking for Options.

My First thought is to subscribe to Sportsnet Now. It is my understanding that it does not have black outs and all NHL Games will be available.

1. Is that your experience?
2. CTV/TSN have the rights to NFL what is a good option?
3. What other options are easy to use without constantly looking for good streams.

Thank you

I wouldn't subscribe to anything except for Netflix right now, for obvious reasons.

I'd recommend NHLTV, Sportsnet Now, and TSN Go (if you want the NFL). Should cost a heck of a lot less than cable.

Based on how teams like the Flames tried to screw over their most vulnerable staff to save the billionaire owners some pocket change, I have no reservations about recommending illegal streaming. Reddit will show you how.

Dazn is the best for NFL. Every game for $20 a month. Also all the English, Italian and Champions League games as well as Rugby

My cable contract is up in april. I will never have it again.
I will just have amazon,netflix,disney. Amazon gives me all my local channels and a good Canadian content pkg for like10 bucks.
I will get my sports from Dazn and the nhl streaming pkg.

Cheaper and better content all around

Thank you for the responses

My contract ends March 30th, looking forward to no cable bill, plus there is a great deal for 1gig service for optic internet.

So, I added the news channel package on telus and was going to remove the sports one. Telus has added a bunch of free preview channels you can watch now. You may need to learn several different languages though.

Yes. They have many add on packages in the app. Lots of options. There's a popular Canadian channels pkg, you can get global and Ctv ect. As long with stuff like acorn tv, and many other options. It's the future man...the future lol.

So ready to pack it on Telus TV.

It's about time that NHL game centre retool their contracts so that it's available for streaming in the teams marketplace, as they are going to lose a boatload of viewers.

MLB too.

DAZN got a pretty solid lineup now that makes it worth it if you're cutting the cord.

Does this carry all flames games? All NFL and MLB games? I'm a sports junkie.
