"Unfortunately, we do not have any information available at this time as to whether HD games will be included in [the NHL Center Ice] package. However, we often add programming based on customer requests, and I have forwarded your request to DIRECTV management."

I wrote to nhl.com. Will post if/when I get a response.

I agree with you, but I guess I'm a bit more pessimistic. There is already the problem of exposure with OLN vs. ESPN/ESPN2, since ESPN and ESPN2 are pretty much available to anyone with even basic cable or basic satellite subscriptions, while OLN is a bit more restricted -- not all cable...

BTW, as mentioned elsewhere, the Center Ice package is now available through DirecTV and will be offered at the Early Bird price ($129) through the 2nd week of the season. Now word yet on HD coverage.

I just read on a forum that HDNet plans to broadcast 2-3 games per week in HD. That's a good start. LA Times also doesn't think the ESPN deal is dead, since they probably want to keep Comcast from gaining any of their market share. I agree with posters in other forums that this is somewhat of a...

Rumor is that ESPN will not match the deal Comcast signed with the NHL, meaning most nationally televised NHL games will be carried on OLN the next two seasons. The NHL wants games to be broadcast in HD, as part of their "re-launch" effort, and coincidentally OLN HD will be launched in October...

If you order the audio feeds for the NHL games, you get the announcers BS. There was some really funny commentary one game a couple years back when the St. Louis Blues were playing the Nashville Predators in Nashville. It was one of the first times the Blues had played there, and the announcers...

Yeah, I'm not going to try re-aiming; that was stupid. I'm just glad I've gotten a strong signal back. I also realize now that I didn't need to activate...oh well. I've got two discrete lines running into my living room straight from the triple LNB dish (no extra multiswitches or diplexers or...

$%# Ebay.

So I've got it set back up with both receivers connected to my main TV, on different video inputs. The dish is pointed back in the earlier configuration because I couldn't get anything with the HD200 settings (though not exactly at the settings recommended by the T60 receiever), and it's...

I'm trying to set up my triple LNB dish with a new (to me) Sony HD200 receiver. I had previously been using a Sony SAT-T60 Tivo, and I've also got a Sony B-65. I'm trying to figure out what coordinates to set the azimuth, elevation, and tilt at, but all three receivers give me different...

Thanks for the advice. It's up and running now. I think I was aiming at the wrong satellite originally, and it was keeping me from hitting the other two.

I’m basically still having the same problem as before, but I’ve been able to get the Sat A signals a little stronger (~75) by making the pole a bit more level--but only on the upper end even-numbered transponders. The lower numbered transponders, as well as the odd-numbered ones, are still at 0...

thanks for your help. i was gone for the weekend, but just now read the replies. i'll check things out again tomorrow and will re-post. thanks again.

I'm upgrading from my round dish to an oval. No previous problems getting the 101 signal, but with the new oval dish I'm only weakly hitting transponders 28, 30, and 32. The 119 signal is strong (~94), but I'm not getting anything on 110. There is a possible line of sight problem, but I don't...
