I'm hoping for a better explanation when someone actually reads my email tomorrow. By this I am thinking that the problem is with the service providers ( Bell and Starchoice ) although Starchoice seemed to try to pass the buck onto TSN when I called. JERKS.
BTW thanks for the link mobil but I'm on dial-up as you may recall. I get 1 to 2 seconds of video at a time LOL. On the bright side 550 am did go to the race just before the green flag. GO RONNY!

"Here is the bad news. Effective July 29th, almost all of the Canadian cable TV providers have dropped their distribution of TSN-AF. A couple of big systems out West were first and now the East side providers have also given up.
Originally, the TSN-AF "overflow channel" was provided free of charge to the Canadian cable TV companies so they could show more sports. Not anymore.
Now, TSN wants the cable companies to agree to carry a new sports network called TSN2 when it comes online in the Fall. The cable companies who do not agree to add this new fulltime channel lose the ability to show the TSN - Alternate Feed programs for free.
The response from the Canadian cable companies has been swift. Most of them have said no and TSN-AF has been discontinued. The cable companies are saying TSN pulled the feed, while TSN has been silent. All we know is that where Canada is concerned, a large chunk of NASCAR TV programming is suddenly in the dark.
Needless to say, many Canadian NASCAR fans are in for a rude awakening this weekend."
This is why i plan on going to Buffalo this fall and getting American DISH Network like my relatives . There really is not anything on Canadian TV i want to watch any way.
