Does using the addon via XBMC remove the regional restrictions aka blackouts?
EG, If i am in ottawa, it would not show ottawa games.

You would need a VPN to circumvent any blackouts.

Our net connection should be plenty fast enough (24Mbps ADSL2+, about 50 meters from the exchange) but we had to resort to the 1600kpbs stream from the website. That said, we are in Australia, the land of shitty Internet.

i'm an hour outside of toronto and obviously anything on cbc, tsn or any leaf game at all is going to be a blackout.. but on xbmc with the addon i watched the ottawa/winnipeg game just fine and right now i got the toronto/montreal game loaded up saying "the game will begin soon".. if this keeps up this is $50 well spent

Not sure about a VPN .. But did hear about dns addresses being changed to get us content.
