NHL Center Ice question

[cparker]

I live in the Buffalo, NY DMA. I am looking at possibly dropping back to the HD-only package, but of course I would then lose MSGHD (Madison Square Garden) and lose buffalo Sabres games. Many of the Sabres games were carried on ALT channels.. like not on MSG main or VS main, but if you looked through the ALT channels you'd find them.

If I subscribe to Center Ice, would I get to see all of the Sabres games? Home and Away? Right now it's my understannding that I can get the HD-only package AND get NHLCI and my locals.

That would just about clicnch it for me.

No, CI offers out of market games and Buffalo would be blacked out for you.

Also, Dish does NOT carry MSGHD nor Sabres home games in HD. Thus, you would not see the games in HD as either your local RSN or in the center ice package (for people outside of Buffalo DMA).

oh... well .. ack! ... hehehe... because I really only watch Sabres games.

If I go HD-only... I give up teh only channel that carries all of teh games. Oh I am on the horns of a dilemma

thanks for teh clarification though

yup yup yup... I'm used to not seeing them in HD. Would PREFER them in HD, but watched all last season in SD so it's not like that's a deal breaker. But I don't want to give them up completely.

Question along the same lines sort of. I live in illinois and watch the Red Wings, would I be able to watch all of the Wings games on CI except the blackhawk and blues games (they are technically my region so I get them unblacked out). So essentially I'd get to watch all the games somehow right?

Probably not ALL the games.
