So here is a question I have. I live in Vancouver and subscribe to Centre Ice so I can watch every Flames game. I have had countless arguments and lengthy phone calls with Shaw and can't be bothered to call them about this, I know they won't do anything anyway. But it is annoying and I was wondering if others found it annoying too.
The issue is that Centre Ice this year cuts off right after the game broadcast is over. So when Sportsnet is showing the game it cuts off just before Sportsnet Connected starts. This is not a big deal, and I actually used to be surprised when the Centre Ice channel would continue playing Sportsnet West well into Sportsnet Connected.
However, when I turn to Sportsnet West which I pay for as well (as one of the out of market Sportsnet channels) the blackout for the game is still in effect. So I can not watch the Flames-centric Sportsnet Connected show (I know it isn't the best anyway but better than mins. of what the Canucks did on their off day).
It is really a minor issue, but if they have the ability to cut off the Centre Ice channel immediately as the broadcast ends they should be able to restart the other channel just as quickly. It takes quite a while sometimes.
Anyone else annoyed by this? Anyone know if it is the same issue with other providers or not?
