sQuish Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Decided I need to cancel my cable TV. With all the streaming services available these days there's really no point in shelling out the ridiculous amount of $ Shaw wants. Wish they would get out of the stone ages with the 'package' pricing garbage. But I digress... One thing I haven't yet figured out is how I'll keep watching Canucks games. My first choice would be to buy a NHL GameCentre live subscription. Right now it's $129 for a 'half season' pass which is a little steep, albeit cheaper than paying for cable. My only issue is that I don't really care about out of market games. I don't have time to watch endless hours of hockey each day. Ideally, I would rather buy a Canucks-only subscription where I only have access to Canucks games. Why this isn't offered as an option is beyond me. Seems like a no brainer as I'm sure there are a lot of people in the same boat... only want to subscribe to their team, but not willing to pay for the whole subscription. For those that don't have cable, what do you do to watch Canucks hockey? what's your experience with GameCentre Live? Worth it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VanGnome Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Apparently NHL Center Ice no longer has any blackout restrictions. Pretty sure there's a Roku among other streaming apps for that service. There's another gray zone service that I actually subscribe to (won't name it here) because it also gives me access to Junior and AHL feeds as well.

g_bassi13 Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 edit: Don't know if I'm allowed to mention it here. it's likely the exact same service shadowgoon is talking about. It works brilliantly though, for an annual fee. My brother uses it to watch out of town games. I'm still on cable watching the Canucks personally.

M A K A V E L I 96 Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 You can watch Saturday/Sunday games in HD with an antenna. These are on CBC or City. For others, you can stream them with VLC. The NHL doesn't really bother much with security for gamecentre for some reason. These feeds are 5000Kbps / 60fps.

LordCanuck Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 if I had good internet id get rid of cable but with 3 mbs down its kind of hard to stream. lol. I barely watch cable and pay 70 bucks a month pretty much for canucks games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use something way better than GCL, but I'm not allowed to say it on this forum. I'd suggest googling your question if you wanna find it. Basically this service is cheaper than GCL, has NO blackouts, covers you for a FULL year, is MORE RELIABLE than GCL (which is shocking), and gives you playoffs as well. However the downside is that it's not altogether technically "legal". It's also not strictly illegal either. It's just stuck in a gray point at this time.
