Anyone that watched tonights Leafs/Sabres game on Centre Ice HD(866) can help me out here. I turned it on for a few minutes and got the typical blocky image everytime played moved up and down the ice. Now this is not coloured blocks I see, it is the same colour as the image on the screen and is especially noticeable on the ice, even in SD games. Sometimes it almost looks like there is a slight red haze to the blocks, but very slight that it doesn't stick out so much. Does anyone else see these blocky games?

I'm going to the store I bought my plasma from Wednesday to see if it does the same on their setup and if not going back Thursday to see if it is my receiver, if not, I hope they'll replace the tv again. This would be the second replacement in just a month. By the way, I didn't notice any of these blocks on the first tv I had, but there were other issues.

Pens-Ducks is on 866 NHLHD1 as of my program guide right now.
Pens game Friday night is not HD as its on NHL Network only (which is non-HD)

If a game carried by a regional Snet is blacked out in other regions, how does this protect local TV rights holders if the game is not carried by anyone else in the other regions? Why can't Snet hold national rights?

Tonight's game, Tor vs Edm (from Winnipeg), indicates that it is unavailable in Western ONT, Man, SASK, Alberta, NWT, and Nunavut.

That's fine for the crowd with residential receivers in your house, but a commercial receiver needs to be hand tuned and in this case access is restricted, so I'd like to know in advance.

Never mind, you wouldn't understand.

We wouldn't want the promoters in Winnipeg to get short changed a few gate recepts that could potentially come from a few casual fans from Inuvik who may decide to make the 4500km drive down to the 'peg to catch the game sice they wont be able to catch the game on the tube.

So midweek games in Montreal and Ottawa vs Toronto are blacked out in Moncton?

I believe it WAS on channel 420 last year, no idea what transponder, etc, if that matters. It was 'multi-view' or something like that.

^^^^^yep

Oilers never lifited the blackout for some reason

It says on info that Ottawa and the NHL lifited the blackout for the east region(ottawa region,quebec, atlantic provinces) for the phi vs ott game in london
