Kira 451 Report post Posted June 28, 2007 Does anyone know when the NHL network is going to be avalible in the states on a wide scale? Best thing to do is keep calling Direct TV and/or Dish Network and complain. Not that they will listen, but keep bitching. I've been on Direct TV's case for years on it. I'd gladly give up the football, basketball, soccer, horse racing, tennis, golf, home shopping and religious channels to have the NHL network on my satellite. Of course, I want C-SPAN 3 too, and you see how far I've got on that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toby91_ca 620 Report post Posted June 28, 2007 if you get it before a certain time i thinks its like 130 I don't think so, I think the $180 that I paid was actually a discount. Since I am an annual subscriber, the next year is automatically renewed, so you really can't get there any earlier than I do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JayUp88 1 Report post Posted June 28, 2007 Last year for charter cable they run it free for like the first two weeks of the season to get you hooked then they take it away from you. during that time too if you call its only 140. but that still was a little to much for a college person to pull off.

JayUp88 1 Report post Posted June 28, 2007 Charter Cable = :puke: I live 30 miles north of Milwaukee & had to switch from Time Warner to Charter for cable tv; man what a horrible experience it was...In my area they didn't offer Center Ice, & just this past spring when the playoffs began they dropped VERSUS...Sure glad I got the DISH Network last fall Ya they ran this thing in our area that said they are dropping VERSUS and to call if you still want it. they had so many calls that we shut down their whole phone service and they had resigned with VERSUS within the next 48 hours and then they started to run a message asking people to stop calling because they weren't going to drop it anymore.

Hank 0 Report post Posted June 28, 2007 What exactly is the "NHL Network" ? The NHL network is a TSN run station (I believe) that only talks hockey all day long. It's great on game nights because they'll have in-studio analysts that will go through every game showing highlights and analyse them. It's really the next best thing to having the Centre Ice Package. Also, during the day, they'll show programs like NHL All Access or Chasing the Dream. Both of those programs are awesome. They'll also show documentaries on past players, show classic games, have hockey shows with deep analysis. It's awesome. Unfortunately for US fans, I don't think you'll ever get this station because of it's affiliation to TSN. Just like Canadians will never get ESPN. The Centre Ice Package is awesome too. But I have to tell you, from watching the Oilers PPV games, Oilers fans are getting ripped off. The production feels as if it's coming from someones basement and the 'announcers' sound so amateurish it's laughable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jwo 7 Report post Posted June 28, 2007 (edited) But ESPN has a 20% stake(sp) in TSN, so they can show their content on it. Edited June 28, 2007 by Jwo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, call me crazy, but I'd like to see the 3 stars and the post game interviews as well. I'm sure it's a money deal. Once the game is over, the interviews and such become property of the network/station doing them and it would probably cost CI money to continue airing the feeds. Also, the satellite/cable usage(bandwidth) has to have some sort of price tag attached to it as well. Edited June 28, 2007 by FireCaptain Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

People might complain that they aren't in any homes but they put on a great show. Their pre-game and post-game shows are awesome and way better than any ESPN broadcast I've seen.

I love the NHL All Acess and Chasing the Dream programs. They're usually very entertaining. In Chasing the Dream they followed the Johnstown Cheifs around for a while. To say these players are a bit nutty is an understatment. In another season they followed the Wilkes-Barre Penguins around. It was Colby Armstrong's first year as a pro and it was funny to see some of the adaptions he needed to make for the faster, more physical hockey. Really good stuff.
