Need help "Moving" want HD local and no Sport blackout

[Spatch]

I would like to "move" to an area where I can get HD locals and also get Philly Sports mainly the Flyers. I live in North East PA and right now my rsn is from New York. I know if I "move" to Philly I will have blackouts for the Flyers games on Center Ice, so that is a no go. Where I am at now New York games are blacked out from my rsn but not on Center Ice. What I do not know is... if I "move" to New York will games also be blacked out on Center Ice? If yes, where would be a good area to move to. I will get my locals OTA but would like to have the ability to dvr more than 2 network HD feeds at the same time.

if you want hd locals, you only have four choices: philly, nyc, boston, or washington dc.

all four markets have the "big 4" networks in HD. if you moved to nyc you would also get sd feeds of the cw and mytv.

in theory, the flyers should only be blacked out on the center ice package in philly. of course, you'd really have to test this to find out for sure. i'd try a "move" to nyc first and see what happens. if the flyers are blacked out, then try boston or washington dc. just keep "moving" until you find a location that works for what you want.

You will have to actually move to Phily and go with cable to get what you want. Comcast Sports Net in Phily does not sell to Dish or Direct TV, so getting that rsn is out of the question.

^ sounds like he was talking about getting nhl center ice (in which case he woudln't need the philly rsn).

games that are blacked cannot be viewed by that viewing area. you would need to be in a different viewing area to watch blackout games from other areas.

You could try Chambersburg, PA (Franklin County). You'll get both Harrisburg & Washington locals (with Washington in HD), it does not fall into regional blackouts for Philly on RSN's, and is far enough not to be blacked out from CenterIce.

Is there a site which lists the market blackouts? I remember seeing something years ago, but cannot recall where it was.
