WOOOOOHOOOOOO...... FINALLY! .... Cogeco came through for it's subscribers. Both channels 467 & 276 are up on the guide. I was almost thinking that Cogeco, J.Ferguson Jr. & Paul Maurice were working together to keep it off the air so we wouldn't be able to see the game in such clarity and witness another possible spanking by a Leafs opponent ....lol GO LEAF GO

Now that Cogeco has added a channel to show Leaf TV (Games only) in HD. I wonder if they will be planning on adding Raptors HD the same way? Maybe they can share this channel (276 or 467), so when there are Leafs games on Leafs TV then it will be broadcasted on this channel and when there aren't any Leaf TV games on, then they show Raptor games when they are supposed to be on Raptors HD?

Lets hope so.
Leafs (and RAPS) Nation

Not sure if the shared channel will work. Leafs HD games are on Thurs nights, and so is the TNT HD games that would show on Raps HD. But I do believe that Cogeco will give us Raps HD by the time they have the first HD Raps game.

I keep forgetting Toronto has a basketball team. Does anybody care?

James,

The Raptors are a pretty good team and they might just win a championship before the leafs do, lol you never know.

Anyways Great Game tonight Leafs, Cudos to Sundin in breaking the record and cudos to Cogeco, Leafs Nation Fans, the Leafs and Leafs TV HD for putting on an excellent show.

GO LEAFS GO!!

Glad to Hear that all 20 Leafs games will be broadcast in HD on Cogeco.

Thank You Very Much Cogeco!!

I heard Rogers subs had technical problems with this channel last night. Did these issues exist on Cogeco?

"And the 12 regular season telecasts will be shot in high definition television. For Thursday’s game, only Rogers Cable (channel 500) and Bell ExpressVu (channel 848) will provide an HDTV channel for the telecast."

No problems with the Cogeco LTVHD last night, picture quality was great and sound was good too. I didn't see any of the intermission portions but the game itself was awesome.

Dude, that link is from 2006

I think the 17, 000 + fans that show up at the ACC for home games and others that watch them on TV care. James, why is it that you spend your time posting negative comments in forums that you do not care about? You hated the idea of Leafs TV HD from the mintue people started asking for it, and now you are starting with the Raptors bashing.

Maybe you're just bitter that your TCM has not be added first.

Like it or not the Raptors get horrible tv ratings (the 17,000 are watching in person). I don't want valuable bandwidth wasted. It's happening now with other channels, don't need another.

Since bandwidth effects everybody, then I have no problem chiming in when I think it's being mis-used.

In regards to Leafs HD, I have always stated that I would be in favour of just the games in HD but not a dedicated 24/7 HD channel.

Last to know eh Bucknet?

Not really, I was fully aware that this was comming weeks ago. But thanks.

Thanks for what?

Bah! Not available in Sarnia!

And that's not even near the Ottawa region, we're zoned as leaf nation.

Sarnia always gets the shaft from cogeco, it sucks.
