it definitely doesn't auto-renew, at least not for me. i called to double check, and when i was told no...that's when i went ahead and ordered it.
It does auto renew on Bell Express Vu. The site says so

That's weird, on mine all I have is 426. But I had CI last season, so I thought it automatically continues unless I cancel. I didn't even know this though and I re-ordered it from the Bell site. There is no reason why I shouldn't be subscribed to CI.

I've been told by others that in past years, they did order it by itself.
I don't want freakin' baseball, football or NASCAR.
I'm a little angry with directv today. I subscribe to the sportspak and NHL Center Ice. I got home last night and saw there was a Stars game on Ch.643 I turn it on and it says program not available in your area. ***. I thought that is the whole point to getting the sportspak. so you can get games that are not available in your area. I call customer service and the little rep tries to have me reset my receiver, unplug the receiver, pray for the receiver etc. Then she transfers me to a TECHNICAL SPECIALIST!!!! I sat on hold for 20 minutes before I gave up.
Anyone else having trouble?
I also have DirecTV with the sports package and Center Ice. I'm in the Dallas area so I got the Stars game on FSSW, but games in other areas are blacked out to me. I think that's the way it's always been - you can get pre-game & post-game shows, etc. from around the country, but not the games themselves because they're subject to blackout restrictions. Which is where Center Ice comes in - but Center Ice doesn't cover pre-season games.
Make sense?

Just curious... where did you hear that from? I too am trying to figure out why preseason games are being blacked out on the sports pack on DirecTV, because, as others have said, it definitely wasn't the case in previous years... all preseason games on the sports pack were available. As an additional note, we've had discussions about this on the Avs board, and last year, it appeared that this was provider-specific. Our recollection is that those with Dish Network were the ones being blacked out of preseason games last year on the sports pack, while those with DirecTV got the games fine. I had never been blacked out of a preseason game with DirecTV in previous years.I was told that DIRECTV blacked out the 2 preseason games last night arbitrarily as there are no territorial restrictions imposed by the league on preseason games.
I'll be happy to call and complain. I just want to have some ammunition when I do. Thus, my question to the other poster about the source of the information about DirecTV arbitrarily blacking out last night's games when not required to do so. Can anyone confirm the absence of territorial restrictions on preseason games?I couldn't even get through to a live person to scream at last night! I've had Directv sports pkg since 1999 and this is the second time this has happened. The first time, Directv changed it after 2 days because of complaints. Over the seasons, NHL game replays haven't been blacked out, so you could go back and watch the road team's version. Baseball, on the other hand, won't let you watch any broadcasts unless it's on the series of Baseball "channels" and live.
Or, of course, a game of your "home" team.
Keep Howling, hockey fans!

Preseason NHL games have been available in previous years on DirecTV.my understanding was that all professional sports are blacked out on the sportspack.
Preseason NHL games have been available in previous years on DirecTV.
Question for those who have had NHL Centre Ice on Cable (InDemand) in the past.
When baseball season begins, some games will overlap etc.
In the past, how many hockey games are usually missed? How do they decide which games get missed?
Thanks.
