NHL game blacked out in the 3rd period.

Question to the experts.

I live in LA and yesterday was enjoying the HD broadcast of Duck vs Sharks game on VS. Everything was fine until 3rd period. All of a sudden I got the message that my card does not support this channel (I didn't even received the card for that 722 receiver), I switched the channel and then return to VS, but then the message was saying that the game is not available in my area. I had to switch to lousy SD feed on FSW2.

Has anyone experienced the same problem and what gives, how come the game was blacked out in 3rd period?

Yes, I am close to Anaheim, about 50 miles from it. My question why turn off the feed in the 3rd period. Should it be blacked out from the start of the game?

I had the same experience. It should have been blacked out from the start. I had my 612 show the game till the start of the third and my 722 wouldn't tune to the game at all. I just wish that FSN would get their act together and realize that hockey, especially the playoffs needs to be HD!

You would think so...maybe it took them two periods to realize it.

Does it mean we have to settle for crappy SD signal from now on?
