No more supercross on shaw!
I was just checking my programming and noticed Fox sports1 is no longer available on shaw. This is confirmed on their website that speed is no longer available. Call and complain! Do the other providers still offer Speed?

Re: No more supercross on shaw!
Yup. It's done, but we knew this was happening.
Re: No more supercross on shaw!
telus and rogers dropped speed last year. I was going to switch from telus to shaw for speed and did a little research and discovered shaw was dropping it as well.
Here is what telus told me, "there are numerous sporting channels that you can pick from"
I said "yes, but golf/darts/curling/soccer is not motocross/supercross racing"
telus "yeah I know, sorry dude"

Re: No more supercross on shaw!
Somebody will pick it up soon they are probably just figuring out how much more they can charge us. Nascar racing is a serious part of that channel and there are lots of people who live and die for billybob racing. Also there seems to be a lot of F1 coverage and a lot of closet F1 fans. The more likely outcome is that people will buy some sort channel that has all the motorsports on it which may be known as Foxsports 1 and charge us more . There will have to be a new provider in the near future.

That is it, the last straw. I've had it. We are pulling the plug on our cable.
I'll get my supercross fix here: https://new.livestream.com/SupercrossLIVE" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
For regular TV, Netflix and Hulu take care of what I want to watch. I also picked up an indoor digital TV antenna ($35), that provides me with 4 local tv stations and the signal is visibly clearer than cable HD by the way.
I'll take the $$$ I save and spend it on the wife.

The voices are back. Awesome!

I use a US ISP service called unblockUS (~$5 per month). It allows me to get US Netflix and Hulu. It also allows you to change the appearance of your location so if you wanted to get British BBC or Australian shows you can. They have a lot more European race coverageFenel73 wrote:

Re: No more supercross on shaw!
As far as I know SPEED no longer exists at all or will soon cease to exist. The channel has been rebranded as either "Fox Motorsports" or "Fox Racing", can't remember which. Either way, Rogers has exclusive rights to it, so unless a carrier out west picks it up we are out of luck.
I bought the VideoPass subscription to both MotoGP and WSBK (expensive but worth it) after Telus dumped Speed last year. Cable T.V. is quickly becoming a thing of the past it seems.

Re: No more supercross on shaw!
Well this is weird. I was at my brother's place last night and he still has access to FoxSports 1 on his old school Motorola HD box. We were actually able to watch Supercross on 234. I thought perhaps Shaw had relented and put the channel back into the lineup but when I got back to my place my channels 48 and 234 were indeed deleted. I'm guessing that the channel is still streaming over Shaw's network but they just haven't gotten around to deleting it from the entitlements for owners of the older style HD box??
