Guest Syn Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 I dont know how you english guys can handle watching RDS games... its so irritating to not know what the announcers are saying. :X Center Ice is soooooo key to any hockey season... I dunno how I did without it in past seasons. Had it for the last few years and watched about 400 games total. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre the Great Posted October 2, 2006 Author Share Posted October 2, 2006 I dont know how you english guys can handle watching RDS games... its so irritating to not know what the announcers are saying. Well I for one can understand. Its easy. You here the name then they say another name, that means the player passed the puck and when the announcers get 'excited' something happend. And when the Habs score they go into girlie screams. Then after you've listened to it for a while I in one game started to pick up words for penalty and stuff. But I'm helped by the habs game threads so if I missed anything its usually on there. Its easy its fun and its a simple way to get exposed to a language a language all Canadians especially should be able to form a sentence with and understand in my opinion.

simonus Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 RDS is a cable sports channel. New Brunswick is a offically bi lingual province. If you have TSN I think it should be mandatory that you should have RDS. Its like having Radio Canada and CBC. When you have french speaking people in your area you should supply them with programming and stations in there mother tongue. For example Univision is on our cable. In most places out west its on a free over the air television. For example Univision is a regular local channel in Kansas City. In Denver they've got spanish radio stations and a local Univision and Telemundo station with local programming as well. francophones rights are being violated if they cannot recieve RDS on cable. nope. Surely not every english channel has a french analog (and vice versa). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanpuck33 Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Versus (used to be called OLN) is showing more Habs games. Last year they only showed 1 game I think against the Bruins. They showed one other game, but I forget who it was against. I remember because both times I had my parents tape the games and mail me the tapes.

bbr93 Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 NHL Centre Ice did not have my Habby games on it last year in T-Dot. I had to sign up for a 6-month sports package($39.99/month) that included NFL Sunday Ticket,college Basketball, Nascar in Car etc.. but NO HABS GAMES. They got an earfull until I found out I can get RDS and RIS with a bunch of other stations for $8 per month. This year, no NHL Center ICE but RDS all the way. (NFL sunday ticket was good but my team SUCKED!) Go :hlogo: Go :hlogo: What is RIS, and how come I've never heard of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fromage Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 RIS is RDS' news/highlights only station. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre the Great Posted October 2, 2006 Author Share Posted October 2, 2006 nope. Surely not every english channel has a french analog (and vice versa). Analog? Thats over the air right networks (non cable)? Well by looking at Canadian tv stations where ever there is a group of francophone speakers outside Quebec there's a radio canada french station for example. And I believe it should apply to cable as well. If I lived in Vancouver and I spoke french first I'd want french programming. anyway thats my 2 cents.

bbr93 Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 RIS is RDS' news/highlights only station. Oh cool. Come to think of it, I think I have that channel. I have so many damn channels with my digital package, I can't keep track of them all. All I know is my favourite channel is 256. :king: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bar Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 $2.99/month = best purchase ever. C'est le buuuuuuuuuuuuuts! I love you RDS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shu Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 I get Center ice every year, so i get every game, and i also have .Versus (OLN). Last year i only missed 15 montreal games, (because of hockey Practice) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre the Great Posted October 3, 2006 Author Share Posted October 3, 2006 NOOOOOOOOOO I just got devestating news! My cable company is not offering Centre Ice this year!!!!! Anybody have a canadian satelite dish they're not using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 You should immediately cancel your cable subscription and buy a dish. Directv is good, go to best buy it's like 70 bucks. Then buy the Nhl package. It's 149. I get every Canadiens game here in Colorado, even last year a few in French. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre the Great Posted October 3, 2006 Author Share Posted October 3, 2006 lol cool. I dunno we are tied too much to the cable company. They do our telephone, dsl internet and tv. plus family is a strapped for cash at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonus Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 dont forget that the season opener for Versus is a Stars game. RIBBY BABY!!! i know its bad for to quote oneself, but... http://www.hockeybuzz.com/blog.php?post_id=3063 Ribs doesnt have his papers settled to come to the US to play in the Stars' opener.

beliveau1 Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 (edited) Have RDS (yes it's on Rogers Digital) - all I can say is, why watch anything else but real hockey........ It's not even on digital cable.. I'm certain it's on satellite, but I can't make that kind of investment... If you have or get Rogers Digital it is part of an add on package that includes a group of French language stations. Costs me about 5-6 bucks extra a month - worth every penny!!!!!!! wow I'm draft eligible - hope the Habs will scout me now......
