HBO Canada

HBO Canada pisses me off. But at least they have the boxing matches on-demand when they are done.

What I hate the most is TSN. They bought the rights for the NBA All-Star Weekend. So last night, instead of showing the Celebrity Game (my man T.O. won MVP again) and the Rookie-Sop****re challenge, they show ****IN HOCKEY. I HATE ****IN HOCKEY. They put the NBA stuff on TSN 2, a channel Rogers does not even carry. Basically bell satellite and a few other garbage providers have. So they ****block The Score and Sportsnet by buying the rights, only to not show it. Looking forward to moving to LA in the next year.

I'm in Yaletown for a few days, any sports bars where I can catch the fights on HBO tonight (and yes, in the states, the scumbags do the same thing - promote live fights that are not live, but delayed - usually to force feed you other product such as past events they showed, or upcoming promos.)

thanks . . .

Unfortunately only a few bars in the Vancouver area will have the fight on - they usually show MMA or hockey instead.

But if you are looking for beautiful women, there's LOTS of good places near Yaletown, either on Granville or Richards St.

Thanks for the reply, T.
I'm on Mainland St, between Smithe and Nelson, and yeah, certainly a lot of beautiful girls walking around here checking out the shops, bars and restaurants.

If there's nothing here or on Hamilton maybe I'll head over to Granville and look for a place with HBO.
While exploring the area today I came upon Hastings and Main St.
Pretty sad . . .

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.

I agree 100% i live in Vancouver myself and i HATE it when **** gets replaced for me personally i HATE seeing nascar stuff..repeats ALSO sucks cause sometimes on "the score" they have who won etc like every 10 min..sometimes u just dont want spoilers but my "sport channel" fingers always hits ch.30 then ch.22 then ch.54..every damn time. cant help it.
