NHL CENTER ICE HD

[nrholland]

Looking at Directv's website I was amazed at how many games they are now showing in HD in the NHL Center Ice package. Dish only has the games that are on the RSNs that they carry (and not even all of them).

Directv has way more, including games not on the RSNs as well as Canadian feeds!

Dish...you need to catch up or you will be losing more subscribers! :director:

Does anyone know if Dish has any plans to catch up or not?

Maybe somebody more knowledgeable can elaborate on this. Once, something was mentioned about bandwidth. The Canadian feeds are rarely in HD and are "unwatchable". What really fries my ham is when there are both team's feeds in HD, and a different game without even ONE HD broadcast. I like to watch the Leafs because we have a family friend on the team. I end up changing channels because the picture is horr-awful.

The NHL CI HD channels are higher up in the 5000 range I think. There are just as many hd hockey games on dish as there are on directv. If you have the NHL CI package.

On Dish we can never get HD feeds from: Buffalo,NY(any team), NJ,Canada(other than on NHL NETWORK).
Most other teams have two HD feeds sometimes a few teams don't have ANY HD feed at all but the other team usually does.
