Dude, I understand that Dish and DirecTV have most games in HD. But I was talking about cable and FIOS, who use In Demand for the feeds instead of their RSN feeds like satellite. I specified cable and FIOS. They only have one or two total HD feeds.
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 (Devils/Islanders). They black out the Rangers MSG broadcasts because of sabres territory rights.
NHL ownes the rights to out of market broadcasts. I would expect NHL CI would not change with the exception that you would lose local games if your FSN is dropped.
When they lose the direct broadcast relationship, they are only able to use the feeds supplied by the league which are predominantly SD. You'll still get to see all the games, but the NHL doesn't lease enough transponder capacity to supply a full set of HD feeds.
nice
Very nice! Was this TOR/MTL, WPG/CAR, and EDM/NYR? Did all have CBC-HD feeds available?
just the "main" games which were Tor/Mtl & NYR/Oilers
Jets game I recorded via Hurricanes feed because as of Friday morning the CBC feed was still SD only (I left to go out of town)

I had to go to www.directv.com/refresh to get reauthorized for the HD channels tonight for the Panthers and Rangers games.
Yeah, I had to refresh all of my receivers tonight for some reason. Probably had something to do with the Center Ice free preview ending yesterday?
I think it has to do with the fact that they're using the -1 channels even for full time HD RSNs and using that for their Anti-Fox propaganda channels. In any event, I too needed to reauthorize the HD DVRs and the HD receiver last night.
I dont get what you mean.....the NHL CI channels there is no "team" associated with a specific channel...its random
But if there are 2 listings the top one is the away team, bottom is home team
