Link works for me, too. Using IE8

Thanks. Really bizarre, but I could not get that link to work on IE 8 on my notebook or Safari on my iPhone in Wi-Fi mode. When I changed to 3G on the iPhone the link did pop up. Should I be somewhat encouraged that NHL Center Ice was an automatic drop down selection in the sports request field?

The filings reference InDemand and show that when dealing with InDemand, minimums are required or the licenscee has to eat the cost of enough subscribers to get to the minimum. It is reasonable to infer that this business practice is standard for InDemand.

It should be noted that FIOS added NBA TV and NBA League Pass at this time last year when they had roughly the same number of subscribers that U-Verse has now, and NHL Center Ice was added in 2008 when they had about one million less subscribers than U-verse has now.

No two companies make the same business decisions. Have you noticed that some companies in the same industry end up being successful while others go out of business?

Well I wasn't gonna go so far as to say U-verse will go out of business if they don't add Center Ice and League Pass, but I'm glad you did!

You better switch to another provider now before it's too late. I wouldn't want to see you suddenly stuck with no TV service.

***ATTENTION**

I called to cancel my TV-Service b/c they did not offer NHL Center Ice.

However, the rep told me they do offer for $5/month the HD Premium Tier package which gives you every Fox Sports Channel. With every Fox Sports channel you can watch all the hockey games.

This is the exact same thing (minus the NHl network) as NHL Center Ice, but cheaper.

They added it on for Free because I threatened to cancel.

I think he said the channels would come in from Channel 1725-1740.

I hope this helps everyone out.

SomeJoe7777 · ‎01-30-2008

You'll get those FOX channels, but most of the NHL hockey games are going to be blacked out. The rep was incorrect that the HD Premium Tier is going to get you all the NHL games.

However, since you have it for free, there's no harm done.

nsturk725 · ‎07-27-2011

If they are blacked out, they also wouldn't show up on the NHL Center Ice package either.

SomeJoe7777 · ‎01-30-2008

Blackouts are applied by the cable/satellite/IPTV provider under the direction of the sports league. NHL blackout rules are very similar to MLB blackout rules in that out-of-market games will be blacked out in your market area, even if you pay for the channel that the game is carried on. The exception is if you pay for the out-of-market game package (NHL Center Ice or MLB Extra Innings), then the games will not be blacked out for you.

Since AT&T does not offer any of the out-of-market game packages in the U-Verse product, the out-of-market games will be blacked out, no exceptions.

nsturk725 · ‎07-27-2011

Thank You.

I will be cancelling right away.

The only NHL games that you will see will those broadcast on your local RSN's included in your base package. The NHL games on the out of market RSN's in the HD Premium Tier package will be blacked out in your market. As Somejoe mentioned, since you are getting it for free it's no big deal, but if you expect to see out of market NHL games, you will be disappointed. To see your local RSN's, enter your zip code in the link below:

As I said elsewhere, but it is worth repeating... If a game is re-aired (usually late at night or next midday), the NHL game repeats are NOT blacked out. NBA and MLB repeats are blacked out.

I would suggest a Roku or Boxee device. They're inexpensive, easy to install, and you can take it on your cross-country trip, ensuring you don't miss games. Try THAT with Center Ice!

Npanzeca · ‎01-05-2009

Also you can use a Playstation 3 if you have one. I use a Roku box on one TV and a PS3 on another TV. Not as good as I would like (im picky lol) but passable for now.

kryptonite · ‎04-10-2009

Indeed, the ps3 is an option.
