Not yet. Shaw however is good to go through ShawGo My buddy doesn't have a cable package, just internet, any reason he can't order up thee Network? WWE got paid a lot of money to give Canadian rights to the network to Rogers if I recall correctly. That means that it'll be a long time before you can get it without going through cable (if ever). I'm in the same boat as your friend, no cable but I have internet. I'd love to get the network, but sadly it isn't happening. |

I'd love to get the network, but sadly it isn't happening. Naw, it's across most providers now. I really don't see why if he calls up and says he'll pay the $12, they won't add it to his bill and let him access the on-line version which is an add-on of the channel anyway. All you need is an email account and password, what do they care he never turns the channel on? Cable company is getting theirs. |

That's because they don't want him to pay $12 extra, they want him to pay $60 extra or however much a cable package is. |

Rogers is licensing it to the other providers is my understanding. That's how everyone has it now. But if it works I'd love to know, still I suspect they'll want you to buy the full cable package.

It's an add-on channel like HBO or Playboy, I didn't bother looking fully into it, but I don't think it's available in other packages and what with the recent unbundling rulings and CRTC rulings on Canadian content, if you're unsure if you want it, it might be worth hanging on for a bit to see what the cable companies are gonna do. It will likely always be a premium channel, but I dunno, I got 2 years left on my contract with Telus. I just called them up, said I wanted it and they said ok. Really end of the story, I pay Telus, not the WWE. |

Anyone else have the same ungodly nightmare of logging onto the on-line as me? here is what I have to do, Chrome.
1. Go to page.
2. Login.
3. Login fails.
4. Refresh page.
5. Login works.
6. Access online
7. Click "Get Started"
8. Pick my TV/Internet provider.
9. Go to page that says I must subscribe.
10. Refresh page.
11. Enter my cable ID and password
12. Finally I get access.
Something is totally f***ed up about that, any cookies or settings to turn off?

Starting to get kinda pissed Telus.......having real trouble logging into the on-line stuff, if they think I'm plunking down $12.99 for a premium without on-line access they're gonna have to start eating these costs.

Changing the thread title since it's now live in most of Canada's cable packages (though most still don't have online just yet)

Quick question, does Bell have access to the online portion of the network?

No online access yet for Bell customers. Haven't even seen any updates on if we will ever be getting it either.

Bell responded to my question on Twitter asking when (if?) the online portion of the network would be available to Bell customers, "@bell_Support: @primetyme1988 Hopefully it will be available soon. However, we have no ETA on when it's going to be available. ^MA"
So no real update...but maybe, possibly, hopefully soon?

Thought I'd bump this to let people know the new gen of Apple TV has the Network App in Canada. You can get it without a cable provider. My buddy just got it last week and is loving it. You pay your cash through iTunes.
