aflac9262 211 Report post Posted September 18, 2007 I tried to tune in late for one of the games, but apparently you can't go back to the previous day after the day ends (when games scheduled from that day are still live). They have a lot to learn. They should take notes from MLB.tv. Just because it's past midnight EDT shouldn't mean you can't go back and watch games that are still going on. How ridiculous. Then to boot, you're forced to watch ads before you can even watch live. I'm assuming paying customers are going to have to go through this same crap probably. I learned one thing in this free preview so far, that I will NOT be getting this crap. There are just too many problems with it now, I'll wait a year or two until they get this right before I ever consider getting this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They really need to get it together on this or CI online won't last very long. Hopefully the wonderful people at CI are working on it so we can actually watch the games tonight..

NeverForgetMac25 483 Report post Posted September 18, 2007 I just signed up for this, but I'm questioning whether I should've or not. I am going to be getting Center Ice for Digital Cable and don't want the online version. I just want to watch the preseason games. Is this going to be a problem? Do I need to cancel before the season starts, or once you sign up for the preseason, are you required to get the regular season online as well? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nero 20 Report post Posted September 18, 2007 If you only want the Preseason games then you should only select the Free Preview. There is no need to cancel anything. The purpose of the billing address is to make sure that you actually live where you say you live. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The purpose of the billing address is to make sure that you actually live where you say you live. You know what, I should be good. After I clicked on the NHL Video Portal, I clicked on the "Center Ice" link. From there I clicked the link that stated the following: SIGN UP NOW! - Watch Free Live Preseason Games on Center Ice! After that this screen came up: I completed that, and they never asked me for any billing info. So I'm assuming that should work tonight for the Wings game. Can anyone confirm that for me?

I can't confirm it, but this is what I did too. After I logged in there was a list of tonight's games, the Wings game was on there. I'm assuming it will be on tonight.

redwingfan19 293 Report post Posted September 18, 2007 is the islanders/bruins blacked out for anyone else? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nero 20 Report post Posted September 18, 2007 It will most likely ask you for your billing address when you go to Center Ice while one of the games is on. It needs to know where you live so it can decide whether it should black out for you or not. That will be really bad if the sign-up page goes down again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nero 20 Report post Posted September 18, 2007 Actually - I just noticed a change to the website. It looks like it is no longer asking you to login or register - instead it just says "Center Ice Beta' - or maybe I just missed something. It might still black you out based on GeoLocation of your IP Address but I'm not sure. Lets hope for none of the dumb blackouts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hillbillywingsfan 794 Report post Posted September 18, 2007 well when i go to load the game some dude is saying that its a bad link..does that mean its blacked out for me as well? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nero 20 Report post Posted September 18, 2007 (edited) Yes, the server they are running appears to be really bad. You'll just have to keep trying every few minutes. hillbillywingsfan: I posted a solution to that in Page 4 but it was removed. Just select one of the screens to view it in and then maximize that screen using the second button on the toolbar and it should work.
