    I've seen a couple of people mention already they watch ESPN, and how they have good and bad analysts and etc. and I'm just wondering, is ESPN showed in Canada, or do you have to order it? Thanks to anyone that helps.

    What do you mean showed? You can get it with satellite, or expensive digital cable. You're not gonna get it with regular cable though, and of course you're not gonna get it free.

    How the hell did you guys get ESPN? I have digital cable, with pretty much every chnl offered, and I have ESPN Classic, but not ESPN, or ESPN2. Rogers doesnt offer it. What provider are y'all under?

    I would think they would get Espn just like us. We dont get it with regular TV its on our cable.
    And by any chance does anyone know if they will ever make a new Espn channel like ESPN 3. Its just something ive always wondered.

    We don't get ESPN for standard cable. However most cable companies should allow you gto get it wihth special order. ESPN2 is readily available on my Cogeco Cable and oanother ESPN exttension(I think its classic), but I've never seen ESPN. I know its available though. But just not to cogeco users, cuz they get scammed.


    If not, most Canadaians will use ExpressVU(satellite) or DirecTV(even though the piracting thing isn't working now becauseof the new cards to get ESPN, or atleast thats what tthe impression I am under is.
