question for those getting free preview of NHL CENTER ICE, are you getting HD?

[zoo youk]

my HD channels on the free preview won't work it is saying i don't have the right set top box and I absolutely have a HD box. all I watch is HD channels. wondering if anyone else is having same problems.

can not watch a hockey game in SD. its unbearable.

[TheMoneyShot]

Do you have DirecTv? Comcast?

[Vegas39]

Works on mine. Call your provider may be a glitch on their end. Hell make them give you an extra week

[zoo youk]

Verizon FIOS....

[zoo youk]

trying to get through to these people is ridiculous. everything is fkn automated voice.

Try saying "speak to an agent" repeatedly. If that doesn't work, just babble like an idiot, and sooner or later it will respond with something like "I cannot help you, let me transfer you to an operator who can assist you further"

[Vegas39]

What TTO suggested or say want to cancel. You'll get live person fast

I have Comcast and only 1 or 2 games are in HD the rest SD

[Deuce]

Wow. That's pathetic. I would give the person I finally get on the phone a mouthful about that one.

How'd you get the free trial on Fios?

DirecTV 90% of them are HD.

[Nicky Santoro]

every single hockey game on Center Ice thus far has been in HD.. except yesterday's NYR/PHI game for some reason. it was on standard and i couldn't see a damn thing. to think how we used to only watch it this way up until a few yrs ago. now we are spoiled.

its crazy isn't it! it is seriously unbearable to watch hockey in SD. for me at least. it takes so much away from the game.

It seems that we're not the only ones watching hockey. Even in the U.S. they're watching now. This is great news.

So much for boycotts and fan apathy. The NHL reports that average per-game announced attendance is up 6.6 percent, or more than 1,000 fans per game, through the first 49 games of this season compared to the first 49 last season.

Not only have the fans come back with a vengeance, filling almost every NHL rink to capacity, but they’re watching on television in record numbers as well. NBC’s opening-weekend games (Chicago in Los Angeles and Pittsburgh in Philadelphia) were the most-watched regular-season games, outside the Winter Classics, in 14 years. Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and Chicago reported record local ratings. NBC Sports Network’s offering of the Boston-New York Rangers tilt on Wednesday drew 956,000 viewers, the biggest single regular-season-game audience in the network’s history and the most-watched regular-season game on cable since 2002. An incredible 27 percent of the Canadian population tuned in to the Montreal-Toronto season opener. Boston, St. Louis, Minnesota, Dallas and Florida also reported significant spikes in viewership for their local broadcasts.

NHL gamecenter, every game is in HD, excewpt for when u go to the 4 game mix mosaic screen. If you want 4-6 game mix in hd, just select the games and select pop out mode and adjust to size of screen.
