Channels & viewing

[BettinaBoope]

I'm looking to add sports channels subscriptions, but I can't find a crucial bit of information about them. Does the MLB channel include the Blue Jays games? And: does the NHL channel include the Leafs and Senators games? Those are the only three teams I care about. Thank you.

Hello @BettinaBoope

Thanks for getting in touch with us here at Roku.

Please be advised that Roku only rents and transmits the channel and is not responsible for the content.

We would recommend contacting MLB.tv channel directly for more information and assistance.

I did try to reach MLB.tv but they only accept contacts from within the USA. They do not accept any contact from Canada.

So, I'm asking the community at large: how can I get Blue Jays ballgames through my Roku account? Even the Jays' own website doesn't offer any information about this question.

I just received a personal email from MLB.tv stating that Jays games are blacked out in all of Canada on their channel. Only Sportsnet can show their games up here. *sigh* ... which means I have to go with Rogers or never see my team again! ugh...

It does show a box indicating SportNet.  I clicked on it but still  the Bkus Hats are blacked out.  How is it Rogers can show the games on SportNet  but MLB doesn't?  

Perhaps ROKU  can expand to a station or channel to provide Bkue Jay games and more Canadian sport teams.

Corrections sorry, referring  to Toronto Blue Jays .

Hi Judy -- Thanks for your posting. I ended up subscribing to Rogers' SportsNet Lite, about $15/m, just to get the Jays. Problem now is that whenever there is a scheduling conflict such as an NHL game, the NHL gets all the SportsNet channels in the package on my TV -- no Jays at all -- I can only get the Jays game on my phone app version of SportsNet Lite. Leaves me quite disgruntled but apparently no other affordable options are available.
