Canadians pay some of the highest cable TV bills in the world. Rogers, Bell, Shaw, and Telus charge $80–+$150 per month for packages that force you to bundle channels you'll never watch. IPTV cuts through all of that — giving Canadian viewers access to every channel they actually want, including TSN, Sportsnet, all the major US networks, and international content, from one straightforward subscription.

Why Canadian Cord-Cutters Are Choosing IPTV
The CRTC's 'skinny basic' rules gave Canadians the right to subscribe to individual channels — but in practice, the big telcos still push expensive bundles. IPTV bypasses this entirely. Smooth Stream gives you:
- +25,000 live channels — versus ~300-500 on a typical Canadian cable package
- No bundles, no channel padding — watch what you actually want
- Month-to-month plans from £14.99 (~CA$27) — versus +$100/month on Rogers or Bell
- No installation, no technician visits, no equipment rental fees
- Works on every device you already own
Canadian Sports on IPTV: TSN, Sportsnet & More
Sports drives Canadian cable subscriptions more than anything else. Smooth Stream covers the full Canadian sports broadcasting landscape:
NHL Hockey
Hockey is Canada's game, and TSN and Sportsnet share NHL broadcast rights. Both channels — in all their regional variants (TSN1-5, Sportsnet East/West/Ontario/Pacific) — are accessible via Smooth Stream. Watch your local team live, follow the playoffs, and catch the Stanley Cup Finals in full HD.
CFL Football
TSN is the home of CFL football, broadcasting every regular season game, the playoffs, and the Grey Cup. All TSN channels are included in a Smooth Stream subscription, giving CFL fans coast-to-coast coverage of the Canadian Football League.

Basketball: NBA and Raptors Coverage
Toronto Raptors fans are well served by TSN and Sportsnet, which carry selected NBA games throughout the season. With Smooth Stream, all NBA games on TSN, Sportsnet, ESPN, and TNT Sports are available — so you never miss tip-off regardless of the broadcast deal.
