TMN GO is currently available in Eastern Canada to customers of Bell Fibe TV, Bell Satellite TV and Cogeco Cable, with Rogers launching the service in the coming weeks and additional television providers expected to join shortly thereafter.
Although Eastlink is not offering this at the present time, I do have a question, and it is regarding closed captions. Are there any provisions for enabling closed captions while using this service?
I don't see how they're going to get many people interested if only cable subscribers that have a cable package that includes HBO can get it.(at a fee on top of their cable bill)
I didn't realize that, but most of the negative feedback I've seen criticized the fact that people can't get just TMN GO without the cable package like you can with Netflix.
I have two relatives, one with Cogeco and the other with Bell. Neither subscribe to these channels but I'd be interested in paying their costs in order to get access. Anyone know how this would work? It looks like it is cheaper with Cogeco I think. $12 per month as opposed to about $20 with Bell.
A new iPad app, TMN GO has recently become available for Bell, Cogeco and other Canadian providers.
It seems that Shaw / Shawdirect are not currently supported by the app, which is no doubt something that Shaw is not willing or able to support.
Shaw currently provides VOD, but that's not supported on iPad and similar devices, just via PC or some of the Shaw STBs.
Anyone have some information on Shaw's position on TMN GO? Will Shaw sign on to TMN GO?
Considering the delay in seeing more HD channels added via Anik G1, lack of support for TMN GO, and for that matter even a list of channels we can expect to have added when/if Anik G1 becomes operational, Bell and other providers are looking considerably more attractive every day.
That s great news, Dr. Dave. I tried it today, and it works well on my iPad. I was also happy to be able to enable closed captioning while using this service.
My understanding is that broadcast rights issues are the reason for this service not being available outside Canada, similar to the reasons behind why some US sites cannot be viewed outside the USA.
I wonder if Bell will allow this service to continue now that the Astral takeover has been approved by the CRTC.
