Milos Raonic – Canada Fan Blog an (unofficial) blog about tennis and Canadian player Milos Raonic

18Feb/11Off

Raonic .vs. Kendrick in Memphis

The game just started in Memphis, so far Raonic and Kendrick look pretty close but Kendrick will have little chance of winning if he can't find a way to break through Milos' serve.

It is on TV on channel 105 or 704 (HD) on Eastlink here in Atlantic Canada. This channel is "SportsNet ONE". If you don't have that channel, please go to SportsNet's live streaming site to watch this tennis match direct from the Regions Morgan Keegan Championships in Memphis (link).

The video at sportsnet.ca is not choppy and it is a couple seconds ahead of the HD coverage on cable and the quality isn't TOO bad, considering it is free streaming on the internet... You even get the same commercials as on TV! Not sure if it evaluates your bandwidth and changes the video bitrate according to that. Here are a couple of screenshots to show the quality of the free streaming video on sportsnet.ca:

Many thanks to Rogers SportsNet for providing this coverage online and in HD from every Canadian Tennis Fan (if I may speak for them!).

Also, I noted that the commentator noted that the "online blogs" are buzzing - perhaps he's seen milosraonic.com !   He also mentioned that Raonic is the"Ace Leader" for the year and he's getting "as much" attention as Mike Weir did...  I say he deserves more and I'm sure he will get it! By the time Montréal comes along, it will be an extremely exciting time for Canadian Tennis.

To this end, MilosRaonic.com will continue to grow and I'm planning to include discussion forums, perhaps multiple blogs (this is the first one - for Canadian fans), links, and generally a hub for fans of Milos Raonic.  If anyone has any suggestions about what they would like to see on the site, please leave a comment!

Way to go Milos, keep it up!

  1. well, I just looking on the Eastlink site and found that we do indeed get Sportsnet One here, on channel 105. I thought for sure I checked that a few days ago when I was looking at the Sportsnet website, which listed the same number. here I was, streamin’ up a storm like a chump. the SDTV feed is signigicantly better than the stream from the Sportsnet website.

    still no sign of Sportsnet One HD though…

    • It’s Channel 704 in Atlantic Canada on Eastlink… I don’t think it’s always on air though – maybe that’s why it didn’t show up??

      • yeah, that’s what was listed on the Sportsnet website, but no 704 here. the SD channel 105 is listed as “SN1” so maybe I didn’t recognize it when I was looking through the guide. I still think I actually punched in the numbers to see if it would come up… but maybe not. either was added late, or maybe it didn’t show up on the guide until they started showing the matches.

        the Querrey v. Fish match is on 105 now (just finished as I typed that).
