    NHL Center Ice

    I paid $139, but that is for nhl.tv, which I think is better. You can hook it up by roku if you don't have a smartv, and you have more viewing options and get to watch any previous contests on demand.

    Just want to make sure I have this 4k stuff correct

    The installer whom just did my 4k installation advised me not use the RVU, whereas it will wear out your TV sooner, plus even though you have RVU you will still have to pay a monthly receiver fee for it.. My setup ended up with a C61 hooked up to my samsung 4k in the LR; my hr54 in the master...

    MSG HD Blacked out and it is my locall RSN! SD works?

    We get a different version of MSG than they do in the greater NYC area. Maybe that was the reason.

    NHL Scheduled to Return - what about Center Ice customers?

    The odds of the NHL giving us free center ice are about as good as Jim Basille buying the Phoenix Coyotes and moving them to Hamilton for openning night on Jan 19th.

    Canadian programming

    I agree, plus The National is a great tv news magazine, and their hockey coverage is second to no one.

    Directv On demand in Canada using VPN?

    I have yet to find them; and either has half of my family; whereas my wife being a Canadian Citizen and we have relatives spread out all over Ontario and a son and daughter in law, whom live in Newfoundland. Like I said; show me where it is illegal under Canadian Law to subscribe and receive...

    Directv On demand in Canada using VPN?

    Where in Canadian Law does it state it is illegal to receive Directv as a paid subscriber? We are talking about a country, that doesn't have the death penalty, thinking about legalizing marijuana in BC, and is legalizing brothels whereas their Supreme Court overturned two laws against it in...

    10 year Directv customer almost cancels service

    You got that right. I had extract n little thank you present from TWC last fall (two year prize guarantee on their part - no signed contract on my part - and free home dvr for the 2 years); however this MSG situation is really pushing it to limits right. The only reason I am staying is because...

    Locally in the Buffalo Area they are offering $31 off a month for year one and $16 off a month for year two. Very enticing.

    Last night on TWC, the Toronoto home feed (TSN) was in SD; however I got the HD feed off of MSG Plus.

    CENTER ICE PKg

    Unless you have a required reason (I.E> My Canadian Wife whom is a Leaf's Fan and demands their games), you probably don't even really need to add it as long as you still get NHL Network and Versus; because you will get a ton of games from them too.

    Any Deals on Center Ice?

    What's the big deal about asking for a discount anyways? Hasn't DirecTV been bragging for months that new subs get free NFLST? Loyal subs should get a break for continuing their subscription. If DirecTV would give new subs free NHLCI rather than NFLST I would have switched immediately.

    Center Ice Standard Def? in 2011? what?

    They just started the multi HD feeds this year. Two years ago we had one Center Ice HD Feed. Last year they added a 2nd Center Ice HD Feed (Channel). This year we got 9 possible Center Ice HD Channels, in addition to our regular Sabres HD Channel , NHL Network, Vs and the MSG Plus HD Channel...

    Directv contract with Fox networks coming up...AGREEMENT REACHED

    You would hope so...it seems to me it would be russian roulette to play with your sportsnets after bragging to the masses...that if you want sports Directv is the place to go.

    Center Ice Standard Def? in 2011? what?

    On TWC we are getting the HNIC and Rogers Sportsnet games in HD,; but only get the TSN games in HD if they are on the NHL Network.

    Directv contract with Fox networks coming up...AGREEMENT REACHED

    Watch for what you are bragging about, it might bite you and Directv right in the arse; and you might end up like Dish and MSG or TWC and the NFL Network. Drawing lines in the sand might bring this into a real confrontation rather than a mutual satisfactory settlement. Once again the...

    Center Ice Standard Def? in 2011? what?

    Of course since I am from NY State, I get all of the MSG feeds in HD. That is probably more a factor of Time Warner rather than NHLCI.

    No MSG HD - Not Again Please

    That is why I don't ever renew my NHLCI until the last day of the freeview. That way I am not suckered into a full year package, in case I needed to move to another provider to get my team. Many of us dealt this same situation with Dish for years. I left Dish two years ago and now they don't...

    Buffalo Sabres games

    NHL Center Ice IMHO is the best value of any sports season package. If I subbed to MBL Extra Innings, I have to deal with blackouts of all NY Teams, Pittsburgh and Cleveland on the package. Center Ice; the only blackout I deal with is, that I have to watch any game in which Buffalo plays. on...

    NHL Center Ice Free Preview thru 10-23

    Did DTV in the past years, do whole game rebroadcasts of the Center Ice games? i.e. east coast games being rebroadcast at 1:00 am. I don't recall Dish doing the rebroadcasts when I had them, but TWC has the past two years.
