Why are the CFL game webcasts blacked out in the US??? According to the CFL website it states that all webcasts to the US are being blacked out and some of the archived game webcasts as well.... What's going on with this??? We can't even watch any CFL games this year on the computer down here in the USA??? What kind of bull is this???
Talk to the Government,
Like I mentioned in a previous post, Canadians cannot go to CBS.com and watch streaming TV programs enen though CBS itself is available here as are the programs
I’ve never tried to buy a webcast of an MLS game, but I assummed I could here in Canada. Too bad CFL webcasts aren’t available live in the US. :cowboy:
TSN NOW HAS ALL THE CFL GAMES AND THEY ARE OWNED BY ESPN SO SOMETHING IS GOING ON….
THE CFL IS PISSED AT THE NFL FOR BRINGING BUFFALO INTO TORONTO FOR GAMES….
THE CFL & NFL HAD THEIR TALKS BREAK DOWN A WHILE BACK AS WELL SO MAYBE THE NFL LEANED ON ESPN TO TELL TSN THAT THEY DON’T WANT ANY CFL GAMES BROADCAST DOWN IN THE USA…. JUST MY THEORY BUT IT COULD BE TRUE….
YOU DON'T NEED CAPS LOCK ON TO TELL PEOPLE YOUR THEORIES
Yea i kno this is a tough one, something to do with legal mumbo jumbo. I always knew tho that to watch CFL webcasts outside Canada that u got to pay, i remember that vividly. Dum, yes, but probably only because they might not get payed advertising dollars for them being broadcast outside the country. Thats my theory.
I'm going to be in the US for 3 weeks so hopefully they come up with something for us Canadian fans who have to travel.
Wouldn't it be nice to be able to travel to the US and still be able to watch the CFL. I guess thats just too much to ask for.
Yeah! That would be nice but oh well I guess I'm not going to the U.S. anytime during the season now.
Well it really does look as if a Slingbox is the ONLY option left to many of us down here.
