TSN online,CTV online, RDS online

Hello,

 

I would like to know if you have information as to when we will be able to watch ctv,tsn,rds online.

I find it frustrating that I subscribed to these channels but have no online access.

  • Hello Videotron.

     

    Recently moved to Montréal and I am subscriber to your cable television services.

     

    You provide a variety of channels that are originally broacast in Toronto through Rogers or Bell.

     

    Can you please add a Bell original channel? Out of Toronto it is called CP24. It is a 24 hour news and information channel that braodcasts there. It is very informative and entertaining.

     

    Please add this channel to Videotron's cable television selection for the anglophones who moved from Ontario or from elsewhere in Canada.

     

    Thank You.

    Hello everyone! Rest all assured that we share your desire to get those online channels. We are currently discussing about the online broadcasting rights. Since this is ongoing it is not possible to give more details for now (dates, channels, etc.) so stay tuned, more to come on this! 

    • 2 years later and we are still waiting. I'm subscribed to Illico and I can't watch my favorite channels on my Illico app or any Go apps (the one I'd like to see the most is CTV and CTV2).
      Why are we paying for channels we cant even view on the go? Your competitors offer it. Just saying...
    • And here we ae 2 years later, still feeling robbed of an access we should be having being customers of Videotron.

      • It's 2019 and we still don't have acces to CTV streaming. From the list that does it seems that only videotron does not have access. What's up with that. Should we conplain to the crtc?

      I'll add my voice to this choir...

       

      I'm interested in the online content for all of my subscribed channels.

       

      Thanks.

  • Hi,

     

    It's pretty hard to put an official date for any of the channels that you mention because those channels aren't properties of Vidéotron. Therefore, it will depends if the actual owner of those channels will allow the company to buy the rights for the online streaming. Right now, we can only hope that they'll let Videotron buy the rights, but it might take a while.

    • I share saadhanano's frustrations. CTV/TSN/RDS might not be Videotron's properties but that is no reason for a deal not to have been worked out yet or at least for there not to have been any progress towards one. These channels are not Rogers' properties either, yet Rogers cable customers can access them online. And speaking of Rogers, their Sportsnet Now service is open to Bell TV customers (in addition to numerous other TV providers). 

       

      It's been several years now that Videotron customers have been waiting. I don't expect the details of potential discussions between Videotron and Bell and/or Rogers to be shared publicly; however, not once have I heard or seen any mention of potential discussions towards resolving this.

       

      I can't imagine that saadhanano and I are the only customers feeling this way.  I don't know if others have called or posted about it (I didn't check other posts) but that shouldn't hold Videotron back from getting something done. It's 2017; in this digital age, customers shouldn't have to complain about it to receive it. Videotron should be at least a step ahead.

      • I still can't  log in to watch CTV Montreal's online content. Really Videotron?

         

        It seems to me more likely that Videotron is in no rush to give its customers access to streaming services other than their own Illico web service. Every other cable provider already allows their clients to use the GO apps. The only hold out appears to be Videotron. Coincidence? I think not. We'll see what happenswith the networks' GO services but I'm not holding my breath.

         

        The only thing keeping me with Videotron today is the investment I have in terminals and their good customer service. Unfortunately, that's also been taking a turn for the worse in the last few years too. Oh! and let's not forget the frustration brought by the constant buck-or-two service increases and the need to periodically renegotiate "fidelity" rebates. I've been a customer for 15 years! You'd think they'd spare me the aggravation and give me their best price already! Not a chance.
