Hosed it is. I’m going to call Intertech today and see if they have any news about it. I’m sure they’re getting lots of calls now that Time Warner is carrying the Sabres home games in HD. I don’t even care if I have to buy the center ice package just to get the Sabres HD feed. I’d much rather do that than have to switch back to TW’s shitty service. ---

Center ice is just three easy payments of $49 away! I think that Free Preview hooked me. I need it!! From what I’ve been told, Dish is in negotiations to get the HD feeds of the home games. Away games, I’m not sure. I think it depends on where they play. Obviously Nassau Coliseum probably is using cameras from the 70’s so that wouldn’t have been HD anyway. ---

I’ve really been contemplating center ice… With center ice, are games blacked out when its on local MSG or Vs., Or can you watch it on MSG and the Center Ice channel? How does that work? ---

From what I’ve been told, the Sabres games are blacked out from the Center Ice package when they play. Kinda sucks, especially if we play (for example) in Tampa, who has a home HD feed. Even though there is one, we’ll be stuck watching SD. Boooo! ---

I must say this though. Center Ice is worth every penny. I’m having problems trying to decide which game to watch. I think I need more TVs or something!! [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/dish-network-and-hd-hockey/36621.md?page=2)
