Yeah, I was definitely relieved to find out NB is in the Habs region. Although, this is still a stupid backwards move on the part of the NHL...Sweet deal for us on the East coast...er..i think anyway?
Wish this was all simplified for all to see and understand clearly. Honestly all 82 games to be broadcasted over 9 differet channels? Im in the East and still dont understand if i need all 9 of those channels to see every game.
Yup, the breakdown is now as follows:
MTL - 40 national games
TOR - 40 national games
OTT - 29 national games
VAN - 25 national games
EDM - 22 national games
CGY - 22 national games
WPG - 22 national games
Look into XBMC + Mash Up which is even less expensive (as in free).
Someone even came up with the setup instructions handy:

Damn.. Just tried XBMC.. Can't download it because I have Windows XP lol... ****, I'm screwed.
Darn MashUp wont download in the add on phase. Woah is me!
i thought with rogers buying the rights to everything, that the goal was to get rid of the blackouts?
literally, i thought this was part of them buying, essentially, the whole sh'bang
The original release said “The agreement also guarantees there will be no further regionalization of games or local blackouts.â€
The word “further†is somewhat ambiguous here: Does it mean that regionalization no longer exists, or that it just won’t be worse than it already is?
The sentence made many people believe that Rogers was promising an end to blackouts entirely. But apparently it just means that it won’t get any worse.
Most likely you messed something up when adding a source for it.
But you can try these step by step instructions with screenshots to double-check:

This is an interesting point, so let me clarify this once and (hopefully) for all:

I think I will stick with 2 channels for now (Rds and tva). Maybe change to all English next year after seeing how it goes this season. I'd rather not have to make sure I have access to 8 or 9 different channels when I can get everything with only 2, regardless of what language it is.
If you're going to subscribe to all those stations you might as wel get NHL center IceTwo main questions from southern Ontario:
1. Can I purchase all these stations?
2. Will there be black-outs?
got it to work but all the channels i've clicked are in SD even though it says HD. How do I change this for hockey (I take it the channel just isn't up until the season starts)
NHL games will be in HD (well, in fact you can choose from up to 7 feeds with various bitrates for each game, so it's really up to you). The original instruction page tells you how to locate the channel. It's there as we speak but obviously no games are available until the season starts. Not sure about pre-season.
Yeah I see the NHL Gotham page, just nothing in it when I opened it. I assume that's just because there isn't anything going on.
Either way, thanks for this. I would have never in a million years known about this.

I'm downloading it on my laptop, I'm currently on the stage where you go to settings, add ons, install from zip.. But Mashup doesn't show up.. Seems you had same problem. How did you fix it.. Thanks
edit: I Did it again.. Entered the web address in add source exactly like video.. But when I go to system.. Install from zip no file shows up still *sigh*
I think all Stanley Cup Playoff Games are deemed national. Also I heard Randorf being appointed for the Hab's games, not sure on the colour guy though.
I'm pretty sure the same theory applies for Sportsnet.Can someone clear this up for me, I'm in Winnipeg, I was planning on getting the Center Ice package, but reading the info on it, it looks like nationally televised games won't be shown (on center ice). Does this mean, on top of center ice, I'll also need all the Sportsnet, and tva channels in the hopes of seeing all 82 habs game?
Edit:
"You will not see games that are being nationally broadcasted on NBC Sports Network, NBC or the NHL Network. These games are not permitted to be shown in NHL Center Ice."
Read that quick and mistook NBC Sports Network for Sportsnet.
