I was looking through tv guide and had hoped there were other options so we could pick and chose what we watch and it would be nice to watch without the talking heads.

2. It was available online

but CTV blocked all US IP addresses because of the exclusive contract with NBC.

3. If you
If you have access to CTV it's broadcast there. CTV and TSN are the host broadcasters.

11. Thanks, I was so sure that I had the Canadian broadcast until you posted.
Now I can`t find a Canadian station on comcast. Very frustrating because I`m about 20 minutes from Canada. Any Canadian stations streaming on the web?

9. You can watch them by going to the stadium in Vancouver
But since I don't know where you live that might not be feasible
