NHL Centre Ice for 2007/08 on BEV

The issue turns out it was with Versus in the US as the have an exclusive window for their game and no other games can be broadcasted at that time. Apparently Versus was kind enough to let them start airing the game at 9est while their game was still on.

On Bell for me the audio would cut out quite a bit. Makes you think they are swearing or something.

Dallas - Colorado has been perfect so far.

Can any explain why I pay for the Centre Ice Package, and I can't watch the Pens/Leafs game in Southern Ontario because I don't pay for the Leafs Package? The game is also in Pittsburgh tonight, so I don't see why they would black it out to this region.

False. If games are not locally broadcast or available on PPV, the individual teams have the right to lift Center Ice blackouts. Many Canadian teams have been doing this for years. In fact, Ken King (president of the Flames), specifically stated a couple of days ago that any Flames game not available thru local broadcast or PPV would be made available to local fans thru Center Ice.

EVu did not create a special PPV package. The individual teams create their own PPV packages and sell those packages to various distributors.

Does anybody know WHEN Bev will add the NHLCI and 4? HD channels to their map?

I need to manually tune a bank of commercial receivers and I hope they don't wait until the last minute.

Is there a game schedule available from Bev or on the 'Net somewhere?

TIA

Nope, no HD at all on Centre Ice tonight.

I also noticed that it isn't on the CI guide...however I've taken the matter into my own hands and will watch it in 3D instead

Us peasants in Atlantic Canada are in the Habs & Sens territory....even though the Bruins are closer to my house...as the crow flies...

...Personally, I have been to several games in Boston, one in Montreal...zero in Ottawa

Tonights Sens game was broadcast in HD out of Ottawa. I'm glad that I have rabbit ears, as BEV didn't give us the game in HD.

What is that all about? It sure can't be broadcast rights. I think it's more like laziness at BEV headquarters. The Senators and the CBC need to complain to BEV

Wondering:

I'm in Moncton, are there any Leafs games I won't get on CI?
