Yep, I live about 50 miles away from the Sears Tower. I had one of those cheap flat ones and not a single channel was picked up. Bought a more expensive one with a booster and I get a few channels now, but still no CHSN.

Defended the move thinking it wouldn't be this bad gave the Hawks the benefit of the doubt. But watching the replay because I'm off today holy hell I've watched college hockey games with better production quality. No replays whatsoever. The hud is unorthodox but I don't mind it. I'm definitely a less is more guy.

The problem is that you were giving Reinsdorf and his buddies the benefit of the doubt, as they've been entirely in control and leading the charge on this shitshow. Which... is never a good idea. Everything that man touches turns to shit. I imagine the Hawks org isn't too thrilled with how this is going.

Let's not pin this all on Reinsdorf, even if he was the driving force. If a person's willingly following an idiot off a ravine, you've got two idiots to rescue when it's all said and done. The Hawks are doofuses here, too, especially as they've so far been the only one of the three teams impacted by this to date.

Reinsdorf and all his cronies are running the entire thing as far as what has been made public, so I'm pinning the majority of it on him. Something like 90%. Yeah, the Hawks are stupid for following a blind guide up Mt. Everest, but let's be real here, the assholes running it all are the problem.

Hey, better to be the idiot in control of the dumb thing than the idiot controlled by the dumb thing.

you know, **** it, let’s just not think so much
Now all you cubs fans, who are also probably bulls fans, get to suffer like us Sox fans! And other bulls fans!
Quadruple the suffering!
Suck it!

No please let’s do that
Also I feel the precedent of the Blackhawks and what “Hawksvision” did under dollar bill wirtz(he was ahead of his time apparently!) they would never want to relive that sort of legacy as a corporation. They needed this to go smoothly and it hasn’t, thus blame

Living in Iowa it was nice the cub finally got the Marque app for us but it sucked. You could only watch games going back 1 day. Which for me who works a swing schedule wasn't ideal. And you couldn't go back like a dv during a live game it was just a live feed.
So, I got rid of it because it wasn't worth it. Had the amazon extra innings deal. But that wasn't great because I had to wait 2 hours until the game ended to watch it. The Cubs, Cardinals, Brewers, Royals, Twins were all blacked out. Now the Whitesox would be also this season if YouTube tv doesn't pick up this channel. In this day and age, the NHL and MLB both need to fix the shit and make games affordable and available and stop with all the restrictions because of the old cable system.
I prefer me some Vanilla Fudge and this song sums up the situation quite nicely.
