No Sabres Game

[NoCenterIceNoDishNetwork]

Buffalo Sabres play ottawa at 700 tonight and still an error message on alt channel 452 and nhln isnt playing the game. Any explanations?

Its on NHL Network ch.403 man...

It's on 625 or 403, the NHL channel. Unlike the screw-up on Thursday, the Sabres game is being telecast...

yeah but he's in Sabres territory? 403 would be blacked out

Ehrenghost,

The Sabres game was schedule to be seen on channel 452 for subscribers in the Sabres DMA.

The Problem was that Dish was having problems with the feed, or something else. The Game finally came on at about 3:40 left in the Second Period.

There was an issue with MSG. Quite a bit of the first period wasn't there and then it cut out intermittently during the rest of the game. Was like that at my house with TW and at a friend's house with DirecTV.

I called dish to find out what the problem was. No answers, I was told the game was blacked out in my area, which it wasn't. I told the tech that the game is on channel 452, and he told me that he couldn't find it, really??!! I was on the phone for 35 minutes before I was disconnected.

By the time the game came on, it was pretty much over.

Maybe the Sabres finally beat Ottawa because there were a ton of Sabres fans not watching.

There were technical issues with everyone (TWC, FIOS, etc.) according to what I read on the live game blog on the Buffalo News site. For many it kept cutting in and out until it was resolved into the 2nd period.

Yes, NHL Network is blacked out in Buffalo when they show a Sabres game. Happens all the time. They want people to be watching the MSG feed.
