Comments on: NHL making it hard to be a fan http://bradfordbenn.com/2009/11/nhl-making-it-hard-to-be-a-fan/ My thoughts and other things to share Sat, 23 Jan 2010 14:22:09 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Mike http://bradfordbenn.com/2009/11/nhl-making-it-hard-to-be-a-fan/comment-page-1/#comment-5058 Mike Sat, 23 Jan 2010 14:22:09 +0000 http://bradfordbenn.com/blog/?p=399#comment-5058 Back in 2008 I had the issue with Comcast DVR. It showed that it was recording, but I would have a blank screen when I tried to play. I wrote an email to the NHL about the copy protection. No response. I called Comcast. No clue. I emailed a beat writer from the NJ Devils. He at least told me he saw an NHL executive at a game and discussed it with him. He had no idea but would look into it. A year and a half later still waiting for an answer. In the meantime, no CenterIce sub. I will not give them money based on the claim that I can "see" hundreds of games during the season. Really?

Has anybody had any luck getting the Center Ice channels on a Tivo with CableCards? I'm going to be at his home tomorrow, I can't imagine getting a useful answer from a Comcast tech regarding something as complex as copy protection errors, but I'm sure gonna try! Dennis Hi all,

I’m going to be at his home tomorrow, I can’t imagine getting a useful answer from a Comcast tech regarding something as complex as copy protection errors, but I’m sure gonna try!

NHL is screwing the loyal fans! This system is totally screwed! I ordered(then canceled) GameCenter Live for the sole reason to watch games online(when/where its convient for me). What are we paying for here . It just doesn't make sense to blackout a game online because it is broadcast on nat TV(TSN). What's the point!!!!! I am losing interest in the game/NHL You’re right. NHL is screwing the loyal fans!

Why would you screw over your fans like this? What's to gain from it. At least give me more than 45 minutes to start watching the show! What am I paying for? I don't even know where to go to voice my opinion. At least I’m not the only one that’s fed up. Why would you screw over your fans like this? What’s to gain from it.

I think you laid it out well -- it all just seems so ridiculous how we've got this great technology so that we can enjoy the sports we love, but they're crippling it for (apparently) no good reason. I look forward to reading the followup post on this one with their response. Wow — great writeup.
