Watching sports: How Helix can help you keep up with your favourite content

Invite your friends over, bring out snacks and enjoy the game. Look up stats while you watch the game—just ask the voice remote. The choice is yours: what’s your preference for watching sports, live TV or streaming? Both options and more are available.

With Helix, you can stream the game online or watch it on TV. You can access sports content from the TV Listings, the On Demand menu, the Sports app and built-in apps like YouTube.
