HBO Canada

[lynx649]

I live in Vancouver, BC, Canada and was hoping some fellow Canadians could help me out. On the Shaw digitial listings it is showing the Berto Collazo fight as "LIVE" at 8:45 PM pacific when it starts at 6:45 are they actually goona make me watch it on tape delay as well as lie to me that it is live?? If so I'm just goona get a stream and send angry letters lol, i tried calling those ****s but no answer, some customer service. So I was just wondering if any other Canadians on HBO Canada West can clarify this...

The Shaw digital schedule is very unreliable.

I understand. If you are paying for the package, you should be 100% sure of seeing it live.

I've been very upset in the past when TSN delayed boxing because of Nascar racing broadcasts and other stuff - with HBO Canada we should be guaranteed the live broadcasts.

Those ****S at HBO Canada West actually did it. They showed a ****ing 2 star Tyson biography in the Live Fight slot and showed Berto Collazo on delay. Pretty ****ing de****able for their inaugural broadcast in Canada. The worst part is the tape delayed boxing actually had the audacity to say it was live in the program info. Pretty disappointed to pay for a 'premium' channel only to get tooled around and lied to and watch a fight that happened 2 hours before **** YOU HBO

It's very ****** of them to not show it live.

I haven't ordered HBO Canada it yet, perhaps I won't now, since I can see delayed broadcasts and a few live ones on TSN anyway.

wowwwwwwwww

Well that's just the thing Hector. TSN will not show fights for a minimum of 30 days after now because of this, some rights or something, for example the Berto Collazo will be shown February 21 on TSN lol. I wrote a scathing email to HBO canada, probably won't do a thing but at least i can get it off my chest. The Margs Mosely fight will indeed be live tho it seems as they have it on the website as 10 EST 8 Mountain so that would be 7 pacific. Maybe the B.A.D. card didn't warrant the live treatment who know's I just don't like being lied to and hope they don't do the same for the Mayorga Angulo BAD card. It seems wrong that there were probably many people watching that fight because they saw it on the listings and thought it was live when it was not. Bull**** i say.

Those idiots are doing it again.

HBO Canada is showing the HBO card at 9 pm our Pacific time (12 am Eastern time).

I'll be watching a two-hour delayed broadcast.

This happens in the US as well. I remember reading in the ESPN chat.. someone complained about this.
