BetweenThePipes00 Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 Somewhat relevant to this thread, but I was looking on DirecTV last night to set game 1 to record, and I could not find it. Well it showed up on Versus from 9-9:30pm....which obviously is not correct. I did not see the game on MSG either. Anyone know where the game is going to be broadcast on DirecTV? See other thread .. tonight's games did not show up in the guide until this morning ... don't panic yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drunkard Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 IIRC, last year all Rounds 1 and 2 games were on CI except if it was on VS or NBC. Yep. That's how it was last year. This year should be the same. I think they're just slow at updating their channel guide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleWally Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 Can't deal with "live look-ins" or Flyers announcers. FU comcast. I'll be going to the first two games. I know, I know, I'm making ed snider more money, but Blue & Gold will be well supported. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 Well that link doesn't do a lick of good. Still shows the game ONLY on 603/4 and at 9:30. I hope the posters above eball are correct! I will implode!!!!!! Give it time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IKnowPhysics Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 Keep checking this link if you're a DirecTV subscriber. It's obviously still a work in progress, but they've started adding playoff dates and games on the schedule. Looking at that, there's so many games not carried across most of the teams (not just us) that it really casts doubt on its accuracy. I'm rolling with this: IIRC, last year all Rounds 1 and 2 games were on CI except if it was on VS or NBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3cheesenacho Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 as of right now the games aren't listed on the guide for DirecTV... but i'm 99.9% sure they will be there. If not, a phone call will be made and they will have to deal with an insane customer ;) I have comcast and none of the games for tonight are showing up in the guide for NHL center ice yet. I figure I'll find out a lot tonight based on whether or not I can get the caps-rangers game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuffMuff Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 Center Ice is well worth it! I used to listen to the games on the Internet but since 06 have had the ICE!!!! It sure is cheaper than a DUI leaving a bar, unless of course you have a designated driver. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fallen627 Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 For those with Comcast, while the non-versus games are not showing up in the TV guide, the games are on and listed on the general Center Ice channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braedon Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 I'm having similar problems in Florida. I have Cox cable. THERE IS NO CENTER ICE CHANNELS AVAILABLE. I'm on the phone with the cable provider right now, they have no answer. Going to get back to me tomorrow when the marketing department gets in. Trying to be calm, but this is crap. False advertising if not available, as the website says first two rounds available. FOLLOW UP: As Fallen wrote, 2 games are there. It's just labeled wrong (MLB Extra Innings). We'll see what's on tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fallen627 Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 Are you sure that the game isn't on the MLB channels? Comcast combines the channels. Flip through those channels real quick, regardless of what the guide says is on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeachedNLA Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 Question for all of you folks with Center Ice, who saw all of the games come up scheduled (today's games) at some point today... At what time did you see the games come up, and does your cable provider give you an option to program your DVR remotely? I've got Time Warner in Southern California, and I just had it out with a support guy online over there, over fact that my area "doesn't yet support" remote access to the DVR yet (been asking for it for years, and actually had someone incorrectly tell me "How" to do it, but today couldn't get there, and got the "not in your area yet" story... Argghhh!!). I can get to a (TV) schedule, which shows that tonight Versus is showing Red Wings / Coyotes, and tomorrow will show Boston / Montreal. I do NOT see the Sabres game (or any other game, for that matter) listed on the channels that provide the Center Ice (channels are shared with MLB Baseball stuff, which I have NO interest for, but they took over, and I lost the "NHL Mosaic" and NHL Stats channel after MLB season kicked in, along with Buffalo feed for Sabres games often...). Trying to get an idea of "how" to be prepared to program (don't have long commute to get home) tomorrow's game. GO SABRES!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flip through those channels real quick, regardless of what the guide says is on. Yeah you're right. It's just never been that way, Cox separates the channels. Thanks for the heads up. Sad that the cable provider didn't know what was going on. That's what I get for trying to discuss hockey in the state of Florida. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walstib Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 The DTV guide now lists the game (and pre-game) on MSG channel 638/638-1 and on Center Ice channel 770. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 I have both NHL CI and Versus via DirecTV, but I'm stuck here in enemy territory, so I'll be blacked out. :censored: :censored: :censored: Does anyone have an online broadcast link?

craze Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 Does anyone have definitive, concrete knowledge of which of the many MSG channels the game will actually be on (I'm in the Syracuse area)? It is not listed in my program guide on Fios as of Thursday morning and I will be away at the start of the game and need to set up to record. My choices are regular MSG (78), MSG2 (79), or MSG Plus (80). I checked the MSG website (or Sabresareanafterthought.com) and it also did not list the game on its website guide and didn't even list all three channels after I put in my zip code. Please help! I always miss the first game of the playoffs before they get that schedule cemented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In what I hope is an answer to my own question, I did check the MSG website again and they had updated the tv listings for the series. It says that tonight's game is on regular MSG which would be 78 for me. So I'm rolling the dice on that one. According to the schedule, games 1-4 are on regular old MSG.

BayAreaSabresFan Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 here is a slightly edited and highly frustrating chat transcript with Comcast...save your time: (after filling out a form describing my inability to identify the CI channel for the Sabres' game tonight) analyst MaVerienna has entered room ******** MaVeriennaGCNV: Thank you for waiting patiently. MaVeriennaGCNV: Please stay connected. MaVeriennaGCNV: I am checking this for you. MaVeriennaGCNV: Or, you can also check the TV listings in Fancast.com Brian: not listed there either...its on NHL Centre Ice but there are no lisitngs there MaVeriennaGCNV: I see. MaVeriennaGCNV: I am still re checking it for you. MaVeriennaGCNV: Please provide me the channel number. Brian: I am trying to tell you that no programs are listed; i don't have a channel number. The Center Ice Channels are in the 400s MaVeriennaGCNV: I have checked as well on my end, Brian, there is no listings for Buffalo at Philadelphia. MaVeriennaGCNV: And also, to answer your inquiry, Brian: I know but the game is tonight and it should be on the Center Ice channels... MaVeriennaGCNV: I would like to set proper expectation, we provided the schedules available in our Fancast TV listings. Which is also provided by the Network. MaVeriennaGCNV: However, that actually depends on the TV network. MaVeriennaGCNV: Comcast has no hold as to which episodes the TV networks MaVeriennaGCNV: Or try this channel: MaVeriennaGCNV: VERSUS channel. Brian: I don't understand. I pay for a premium service, Center Ice," to receive games that are not nationally broadcast, like the one I am asking about. Are you telling me that this playoff game is not going to be broadcast? The game is not on VERSUS. MaVeriennaGCNV: Please do not misunderstand, Brian. MaVeriennaGCNV: The available listings provided by the Network is shown on the website. MaVeriennaGCNV: Comcast has no hold as to which episodes the TV networks would post so long as they don't violate the terms and conditions. Brian: May I chat with someone who understands...we don't seem to be communicating well MaVeriennaGCNV: I understand you are looking for the game tonight at 4:30PST, a NHL playoff game. And you do not see it on the TV listings as you want to record on your DVR. MaVeriennaGCNV: My apologies if I dont get it right. Brian: here is a link to others who are having this same issue...the games appear to be on just not listed. I would like the lisitng for this game. Brian: http://forums.comcast.com/t5/Channels-and-Programming/No-Playoff-Games-for-NHL-Center-Ice/td-p/702509 MaVeriennaGCNV: Thank you for that link. Please give me 2 to 3 minutes while I check on this further Brian MaVeriennaGCNV: Brian, you may check on the listing through this link: http://www.indemand.com/sports/nhl/ MaVeriennaGCNV: You may try to check it on NBC & Versus channels, since they are the networks that carry this event Brian: Please transfer me to someone who understands the Center Ice package that I purchased and carry these games. MaVeriennaGCNV: Brian, this is the information I have gathered: MaVeriennaGCNV: Thursday, 4/14/11 MaVeriennaGCNV: Away Home Time Montreal Boston 7:00 PM Buffalo Philadelphia 7:30 PM Los Angeles San Jose 10:00 PM MaVeriennaGCNV: Thu, 4/14/11 19:30 Buffalo Philadelphia GAME13 CSN-P Available in HD on GAMEHD2 23:30, 03:30, 07:30 Brian: ok..what channel may I watch the Buffalo game? Brian: ok..what channel may I watch the Buffalo game?
