TSN 5G View

In what feels like an effort to justify the hype surrounding 5G, Bell’s TSN app on iOS and Android now includes a new feature that allows hockey fans to take control of different camera angles during a game.

It’s also possible to zoom in and out while watching a live game and when viewing on-demand highlights. That said, it’s important to mention that the feature is only available at Montreal Canadiens home games.

While TSN’s and Bell’s new ‘5G view’ is fascinating, the feature requires a 5G-compatible smartphone on Bell’s network. Given 5G networks in Canada still largely use carriers’ 4G/LTE cores and often only offer slightly improved download speeds in some areas of the country, it’s likely that 5G View could also run over LTE, though possibly with more latency.

Further, Bell says you can access 5G View over a Wi-Fi connection, although there are quite a few restrictions (more on this below).
