Canada - any cycling broadcasts?

Please! We canucks are more than satisfied with watching some 300 pound guy
enjoying his sport fishing! We don't need no stinking cycling coverage!

I have not tried, but OLN's US feed is apparently broadcast in the clear
on C-band. Which means if you put up a big ugly 10' dish and point it at
the right satellite, you could enjoy Giro and Vuelta coverage.

When I asked, the missus said no,

The Giro's got a live internet feed (as did the TdF last year via Danish
TV2- the television station, not the band- and hopefully again this year)

Too bad you're not married to me! I'd get that in a minute if I could afford
it.

10' isn't considered a Big Ugly Dish. BUDs start at 12'. 8- and 10-foot
dishes are called BUD Lites.

You probably can. The cost of a complete C-band setup can be as little
as $300 or so. The bad news is I seem to be finding info that OLN will
be removing its analog C-band signal in the next couple of months,
possibly just before the TdF this year.

So it's back to gray-market DirectTV subscriptions for us,
