Question: Did G4TechTV Canada change names to G4 as the US version did (mind you the new "Call For Help" with Leo Laporte is only available on G4TechTV Canada), and likewise did Fox Sports World Canada become Fox Soccer Channel as did the US version?

 

[Mr Tony]

nope and nope

They are still their respective names

 

[Mr Tony]

Derwin...couple minor errors

One is actually Toronto 1
ABTN (Aboriginal TV) is APTN
IN the Supers, its WSBK

 

[Derwin0]

corrected. time to get more coffee to fight off the typos

worthy of sticky?

 

[Mr Tony]

done

 

[Stargazer]

Is G4TechTv available FTA in Canada? I guess one could buy a system just to get Call For Help from up there. Does The Screen Savers from the Canadian channel have the same shows and hosts as the U.S. show?

 

[pretzelboy]

No, that's part of the new digital channels that were added to ExpressVu and StarChoice a few years ago. Those are all pay. CBC isn't even FTA any more on small dish. I'm not even sure CBC is even still available on C-band.

Yes, TSS is just a US feed. Same show. The only differences are Call for Help 2, Chalk and Dotto. I think that's it.

 

[Uplink]

cbc left cband. ctv is still on cband.

 

[korsjs]

man i miss the old screen savers and call for help.

 

[Stargazer]

Me too along with many others.

2005 NFL Sunday Ticket is $179CAN.

fyi, the 2005 NFL Sunday Ticket on ExpressVu is $179CAN this year. This includes at no extra cost the HD games.

well shiznits, I'll go for that! I'll even go thru the trouble of having an address in Toronto, paying my uncle for the service, obtaining a bell HD unit and their whole nine yards including paying their basic package. My only problem would be if any of those games will be on transponders that are not well focused to the northern part of California (Ie: 3 7 11 and 23). Those other odds should come in with a larger collector for me.

 

[Derwin0]

All the HD games will be on 82, which is viewable in California.

Just a little FYI. CBC-HD, Global-HD, and SRC-HD are now in the HDTV Package. It is interesting to note these 3 new channels aren't "backed" by an actual TV station (IE: Toronto/Vancouver) like the other network HDTV channels.

It is difficult to explain, but these channels are presented as additional services to your local station. For instance Global promos will say something like 'call your cable or satellite provider to receive the Global HD Channel'. Sometimes the channels have what is on the network schedule and sometimes not.

Is it possible to get NESN-HD with BEV? Voom was my best hope for Red Sox games in HD. It appears Directv will not get to national distribution of the regional sports networks for a couple of years, if then.

Thanks.

Welcome

NESN is not on there probably because it is not approved in Canada..and NESN isn't on Bell ExpressVu

Canda has Rogers Sportsnet

Iv'e corrected the listings to add Global-HD and CBC-HD. Global -HD is CIII-DT out of Toronto and CBC-HD is CBLT-DT out of Toronto.
I haven't found any confimation about SRC-HD, and without a 6100 I can't verify.
