It's good to be a Hockey fan, remember last year, when we were LUCKY to get 4 HD games a week?

Are we getting more than 4 a week? It sure doesn't seem like it.

There are still not engough games in HD. What really bothers me is when the feed from the RSN clearly indicates it is being broadcast in HD but we get it in crappy SD (MSG immediately comes to mind).

Just joking but I'm think we will see a few.

Im sure it will be the Baton Rouge Fox, CW, and NBC taken off. Then Dish will only have CBS (in sd) and directv has the locals in HD

The HD scenery is nice in Jackson, MS

combined with OTA. I don't see any banners plastered on WGMB or WVLA webpages stating about the carriage agreement issue. Figured they would put it right there on the front page at the top for everyone to see.

I have the Center Ice package and YES there are MORE than 4 games a week in HD, I've seen nights when there are 4 games a night to choose from in HD.

Center Ice on Dish is pathetic. My team plays on one of the MSG family channels every game and every game is in HD in New York. Is it ever in HD on Dish? No. Not once this season has Dish carried the HD feed of a Devils home game. If they do the rest of the season let me know. If I could switch to D* I'd do it in a heartbeat and pay the Center Ice fee again for the rest of the season.

There must only be certain teams that have a lot of HD games broadcast.

DISH Network - Pay-Per-View - 1.888.825.2557

Looks like about 1/2 the games are in HD, but a huge portion of those are the simulcast of home and away versions.

Unfortunately I follow a NY team that has virtually 0 in HD, hence my question and comment.
