Giants Playoffs televised...

[rinkrat]

Apparantly SHAW is broadcasting the Giants in the first round! :groovy:

[langdak]

are they finally gonna actually put a crew in PG so we can see the away games?

[Swando]

Langdak --you beat me to the response. I don't think I could bear to watch it on the internet with those 2 --------s announcing. Do you know what ------means? lol :spineyes:

[langdak]

I know exactly what you mean Swando

I cant handle another minute of those knobs up there, words can describe the lack of "quality" for their radio shows

Hopefully they do send a camera crew up to PG so i am not forced to pay 6 bucks to listen to the garbage that is produced from our friends up north

[Swando]

If they are not planning to send a crew up ---maybe we can phone them (every few hours/minutes and put the bug in there ear. What do you think?
If it's logistics ok ----cost uhuh. They'll have 30000 + viewers!!

SWEET!!! This will save me a lot of $$ for gas going up north several times. Good to hear. I think they should still show regional coverage of Kelowna and Kootenay...not sure if they can break it down like that or not, but...people in Kelowna will be pissed that they have to watch the Giants! ;)

Tough for them. I get tired of seeing every Shaw regular season game involving Kelowna. :laugh:

We deserve a break for once. ;)

I agree, its about time the Giants dominate the shaw channel.

Kelowna fans watching the Giants goes along with Keller staring at his 50th goal puck with a nice big GIANTS logo on it....lol :thumb:

[Beaner]

Well that settles it, bye bye Live stream, hello Shaw.

[Swando]

AH Gee Whizz! I was looking forward to the announcing knobs from PG. Boo Hoo.

[Knuckles Muldoon]

I'm hurtin'. I dumped my Shaw cable for Bell Expressvue. Is anyone going to invite me over on road game nights? :confused:

haha, i was just gonna post how i'm in the same boat as well, except i'm double-stuck because we're in an area with no cable, and thus no broadband internet - since i don't think we can get DSL either.

regardless, i'm looking forward to the series. :D

[TheBrass]

I might be wrong, but I believe that those of you with Bell Expressvue will be able to get these games. I have watched Giants games on the shaw channel at the homes of people with satellite service before. Maybe check your channel listings again, I'm pretty sure it's in there somewhere.........fingers crossed for you.

Maybe your friends have Shaw Digital Cable...

[TheBrass]

Nope, I have Shaw Digital Cable so I am not confusing it with satellite. I am just not sure if their system is with Bell or the other company (the name totally escapes me right now) but at least one of those companies does broadcast the local Shaw channel.

[langdak]

Shaw does come through on certain satellite dishes

I just checked with my uncle, and they have Star Choice satellite, and i know for a fact they do get Shaw on theirs.

For the Bell users, take a look at your channel guide, you may get shaw, who knows.

[Colin]

i seem to remember hearing that starchoice had it before also... however, expressvu, i'm not too sure. i'll definitely look into it though, because i'd love to prove myself wrong. :)

As far as I know, StasChoice carries Shaw, Bell ExpressView doesn't.

[langdak]

As far as I know, StasChoice carries Shaw, Bell ExpressView doesn't.

as i stated above, StarChoice carries shaw, i know for a fact they do cuz i have watched shaw on starchoice.
