I briefly negotiated thru some of the links. Will I eventually be expected to supply my credit card number to watch the game(s)? Are these games free to watch? Any catches?

Put it this way... the network has a Boise affiliate and is on basic cable.

A good chunk of the normal programming is either old black and white reruns or is even lower grade than some production values found on specialty stations on the average digital tier. Or just a half-step above cable access, if you will.

Of course, since AmericaOne simply takes the Canadian feed of each game they broadcast (which happens to be most of the games, BTW), at least that's presented professionally.

So...is it for free or will I eventually get to a screen that prompts for my credit card number?

If the visual is comparable to the Tallahassee Titans (AIFA indoor football) telecast I can definitely handle that.

I can get the AmericaOne video right now, but without sound. It doesn't appear that ebahn charges for access to the channel.

Excellent!

GO ALS!

Ok, that leads to another interesting question I have. Can I assume ebahn will carry Canadian college football? Yes, I know that has nothing to do with minor league sports, but thanks for replying if you know the answer!

It's all free to watch. I watched a bunch of games last year, always free. If I get a chance and some time I'll post a complete schedule of CFL games broadcast on ebahn.

As for Canadian college football, I don't know. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

I highly doubt it. Since CIS football is very limited in its broadcasting, I doubt you'll see it on there. Basically, CIS football has a game of the week broadcast nationally (generally from the OUA) on The Score in English. RDS (French TSN) broadcasts most of the QUFL games nationally in French. The AUAA has regional broadcasts on Eastlink's community channel (which incidentally is also broadcast at http://www.eastlink.ca/eltv/ELTV_WebCasting/webcast.ram so check their schedule). Sadly, being a Canada West fan, I see the least amount of games. CanWest games are sometimes shown on Shaw Cable's local channel. However, since I don't have Shaw Cable I don't see any games.

But really, unless you can find The Score or RDS on something like SopCast or one of the other P2P television programs. The only CIS football you will be able to find streaming is on EastlinkTV. However, if you go to the CIS' site during football season they have the links for the streaming radio broadcasts for most of the games. However, the only games worth listening to are found at www.ck750.com ;) (Go Huskies!!)

Are there any internet TV links for the remaining preseason games this weekend?

I'm sure there are radio feeds (not really interested in that), but I was interested in watching a telecast. America One did not have preseason CFL games listed on their schedule.

You won't find any of the preseason games on the internet. The CFL doesn't televise their preseason games. The rare time they do televise them is when its a special event like a neutral site game or something of that nature. Only way to find out live what is going on on these games is on streaming radio feeds.

Thanks for the tip, JB!

I've been streaming video from ebahn.tv and it works pretty good. No problem with sound at all like preeths had. There are two settings for the sound, preeths. One is on the ebahn.tv, and the other is your control panel setting in Windows. Maybe your control panel setting was down low?

I'll be watching CFL action starting this Thursday. Wish I knew about this last year.

GO ALS!

P.S. ebahn.tv also has free movie downloads on demand. Instead of renting a DVD of the Blues Brothers I saved a few bucks and watched the unedited version (hilarious) on my computer. Gotta believe the leagues that capitalize on internet TV possibilities won't have to rely much on their arena/outdoor field seating capacity any more -- people thousands of miles away paying $5 to watch the game on their computer. Gotta believe there is going to be some creative way to blockout the action to force the locals to go to the game as well...assuming no one has figured that out yet.

Looks like the CFL is ready to charge people to watch their games tonight on their home computers:

I wonder how long it will take before the CFL lawyers discover ebahn.tv and press charges against ebahn.tv?

If ebahn.tv is a United States based company, Canada can do nothing about that?

This is lining up to be another international incident (possible military war between Canada and the US) of epic portions like Terrance and Phillip in the movie: South Park, Bigger Longer & Uncut.

Do any of you that live in Michigan see any type of military build up at this time on the Michigan/Ontario border?

The streaming was introduced last season. The CFL can do something about it if they chose to against ebahn.tv, as the CFL has a television contract in the US, it has a contract it can uphold in US court. Besides, the nature of the internet is such that so long as the country isn't some South Pacific Island, copyright laws are enforced internationally.

I think you are overreacting, since the majority of CFL games will be available on the internet free of charge through the TSN broadband network. The only games that are unavailable are the games broadcast by the CBC. Besides, the CFL has always been somewhat fan friendly. The bigger problem may lie in the America One Network shutting down that website.

No, you are wrong about the charging issue. I wanted to watch the Alouettes and Roughriders last night and TSN's link charges $9.95 USD per game. ebahn.tv did not carry that game so I either roadtrip it north (never done that before) and see it live or travel to some bar that carries TSN TV, or find something else to do.

No that is the CFL link that charges $9.95 US for a game. TSN's broadband is free, as they mentioned last night during the Riders/Als game. However, TSN Broadband is like ESPN 360, meaning only people in Canada can access it (ESPN 360 only Americans can access it).

Well you are out of luck trying to head to a game in Montreal. Its exceedingly difficult to find a ticket in Montreal. That said, most other CFL stadiums are easy to get tickets at. I'd say head to Mosaic Stadium in Regina for a Riders game, its a combination of going to Lambeau in Green Bay and sitting in the black hole in Oakland.
