Calling all Canadians

[The Lens]

Next week I will be in Whistler, BC while the BET is going on.  Any tips on catching the broadcasts?

A few questions:

Does Canada have TV?
Does Canada have FS1?
Does Canada have a channel that shows FS1 game or Big East games etc?

I'm sure I can find something online but hope to be watching during Après–ski.

1) Yes, but HD up there is only 660p with today's conversion rate.

2) Orginally they did, but because the fox is not native to Canada, they decided to brand it with the native beaver instead.  But neither the name or the call sign went over very well with the screeners, so they just ended up scrapping it altogether.

3) The do show Big East games, but that means the Newfoundland vs. Nova Scotia curling championships this time of year.

Benny, I get that is your thing and all but I could give a rip about Newfoundland vs. Nova Scotia, I'm a Prince Edwards Island guy so get serious and let me know how I can see their match or stay out of the thread.

FS1 isn't available in Canada.  Only NCAA games you'll be able to see in the GWN are what's on CBS or FOX... so Seton Hall vs. Butler will have to suffice.

You can try the Fox Sports Go app, but its functionality outside the US is unknown to me.

Sounds to me that your advice is skip my wife's incentive trip and set up shop at Schoolyard in Chicago.  Ok fine, I'm in.

Foxsports go app, use a VPN that makes it look like you are in the US.

Does that mean I shouldn't use the hotels wifi to stream?

Nah, that shouldnt matter with a VPN.

Always have an Amazon Fire Box with KODI loaded on it.....

Just plug into the hotels WIFI or Wired network if available.....

Easy peasy......

So I've figured out a VPN app that allows me to watch FOX sports Go.  The crazy part is our hotel (Four Seasons) has FS1 on the cable package but all it does is replay TSN in SD.  And to make matters worse, the hotel TV offers Big Ten Network.    No ESPN, no actual FS1 and no CBS but we get Big Ten.  Unreal. 

My plan for tomorrow is to ski and then stream the 2nd half on my phone over lunch. 

Go MU.

Wait ..FS1 is replaying a different network?   

Canadians got their wires mixed up, man.

Have you spoken to the concierge about this? 

Seriously, for the kind of dough you have to shell out at the Four Seasons, they ought to figure something out for you.  I just saw a bill for a meeting my organization had there, and they charged us $105 for an urn of coffee.  If you can't even get basic cable for you, that's a problem.
