NHL Center Ice Available on E* ??? (YES!)

[gjh3260]

I just went to E* website and it says you can order Center Ice now. They must have come to an agreement with CI.

Early bird special is available until October 9.

Is this true or am I just dreaming ??????????

Well I checked again.........and the website says you can order.....

 

[RedWings]

HOLY S*&&^% I'm SO HAPPY!!!!!!!!!

That just made my day. I too saw that it says you can order.

I'll contact them to see what a CSR says.

 

[JayPSU]

Yep, I see it too!! It will probably take a little while to be able to add it from their site as this probably JUST got finished. But knowing that it's here and I don't have to go through the ordeal of switching to D* is a weight off my shoulders!

With 15 NHLHD channels (I think it is 15) I wonder if all the games will be in HD if available or only a few a week.

I am thinking of getting the package if they offer all the games in HD if available.

 

[RedWings]

I just called and talked to a CSR and they were able to add the package to my account.

I did have it last year and she said for some reason it didn't show up to automatically charge for this year.

We have any idea on how the NHL network falls into this?

Well my son just tried to order it via phone and thia is what he told me.

They don’t know what they’re doing. The rep said she couldn’t find it and that up till now they aren’t going to carry it. They need to get their act together

Damn, I should have asked. I'm just happy we at least got the CI Package.


Anyway we can combine the two threads?

She told me the package was added for $149. I'll keep on eye on the 'recent activity' part of my statement. I may call back to verify.

I think that we are lucky to have CI If NHL network comes on too it will be a plus but I am NOT holding my breath.

One needs to be aware that only approximately 6-10 HD games of all types can be provided at any one time due to the timesharing scheme in place.

My conversation with a CSR via chat:

(03)Sharon A: Welcome to Dish Network. How may I help you today?

RW: I just wanted to verify that Dish Network will be offering the NHL Center Ice Package for the upcoming season and also that the CSR I spoke with earlier did actually add the package to my account

RW: There have been mixed reports about its availability and I see that the website was updated today with pricing info.....which I take as a sign they will be offering it.

(03)Sharon A: I will be glad to check this for you.

(03)Sharon A: Please give me 2 minutes while I check this for you.

(03)Sharon A: I request you to visit the link http://www.dishnetwork.com/content/whats_on_dish/pay_per_view/sports/hockey/

RW: I did see that

RW: I just wanted to make sure it was added to my account

(03)Sharon A: I see that NHL has been ordered on your account.

(03)Sharon A: It has been added today.

 

[jldhawk]

On the phone with CSR now, she says I was not set up with automatic renewal....PLUS she says I have to pay TODAY my first installment.
Once again E* screws up, and we have to pay for it.

There can only be 6-10 HD games at a time. It can be all NHL or NBA or a mix of them both.

So I would guess only about 3 NHL HD games a night. Sound about right?

I take it that you had a CSR from America and not from India.
My son had one from India and she did not know any thing about being able to order CI.
Why does Dish play roulette with their CSRs????

Since it was via chat, i'm not positive about if it was an American. But i'd have a hard time believing english is someone's first language with a line like "I request you to visit the link "

I called and must have gotten the same goat herder from India.....he said they are in negotiations and blah blah blah.......when I asked to talk to his supervisor he was totally clueless.........so I hung up.
