Hi @Jdmorg1041,

Thanks for the inquiry about TSN and Sportsnet not available on the Roku Canada platform.

Please be noted that channels are developed by each service provider themselves. You'll want to contact TSN support to see if they have any plans to develop and offer a channel for their service on the Roku platform. 

Please let us know if there's anything else we can help you with.

Thanks,

Mary

Roku channel apps are developed and provided by the channels themselves.  The channels decide which platforms they are going to write apps for.

Whether you subscribe to TSN through a participating TV service provider or through TSN Direct, TSN supports the following:

SPORTSNET, as far as I can tell, is a cable-type channel. Their Sportsnet Now app permits you to view Sportsnet content on computers, which I assume also includes web browsers on mobile devices, and is available at no charge if you have a paid provider subscription that carries Sportsnet.  It can also be subscribed to directly if you have no such provider subscription. I've not found any mention on the Sportsnet Now page indicating they have made apps for streaming devices.
