GO SENS GO!!!

Yea! Shabbs' GDT. Missed those.

RDS has got to be better PQ than Rogers-22, but do we have RDS-HD on Rogers? And if we do, do *I* have it?

There is RDSHD on Rogers now... it's a free preview at the moment. Not sure what package it's bundled with and they've got the game listed in HD too.

Sweet HD goodness.

I'm pretty sure we don't have RDS HD- but i could be wrong.

And all was right in the world again.

I've got it listed as channel 508 in my IPG.

I am hoping this one is on Centre Ice, I noticed the Montreal game last night was not, so am hoping tonight's is. I was forced to watch the Leafs for my hockey craving.

Edit: can't wait to watch Cowan smash some Smurfs tonight.

It's not planned to be on Centre Ice, in fact only RDS is covering it.

www.rajangan.net has it listed, but it is hit or miss for whether it actually broadcasts it.

Sweet!! Right you are!

if I read Bell's website properly, for subscribing to TSN and TSN 2, I should automatically have RDS and RDS HD, I just have to find out what channel it is.

I have sports package one and it looks like it includes RDS/RDS HD. I hope I am reading it right.

Apparently RDS HD on Rogers is channel 508, right after the TSNs, and again on 617... But I'm not at home, so I can't comment on whether or not it actually works.
