#CoxBlocked is over!

[Puckrobber]

Of the Knights games on NHL Network so far, they've all been VGK broadcasts, I think. Wouldn't doubt it, though, that they feature the Stars feed, due to Dave's passing.

Praise be.

If you live in Vegas, the Dallas feed is blacked out. And I believe you'll only get the Vegas feed if you already have AT&T RM on your cable package. If memory serves, I had the option of watching Kings/Ducks games through Center Ice or Fox Sports when I had Center Ice on DirecTV, because I had the tier that included the two Fox Sports channels.

Ducks and Kings games have been blocked out (on FS feed and CI).

When?

Ducks and Kings games have been blocked out (on FS feed and CI).

Sorry, should have clarified - I live in Los Angeles, so I could get the Ducks/Kings games on FS feed and CI when I had CI. Now that Vegas has its own local team in the market, I was told that the Kings/Ducks games will be blacked out on the FS feeds in Vegas, but you should still be able to watch them on CI.

I watched the Ducks game last night on DirecTV 692/3 I don’t remember the channel. Been for years. It hasn’t changed. I canceled my CI package this season.

Because of the passing of Dave Strader, I'd imagine the Dallas feed is going to be wrought with emotion tonight.

With everything that happened since Sunday, I totally missed this.

Dave was a true pro. I'll miss his voice & his love for hockey. RIP.

Praise be.

He had to have some say in this. Check this tweet from Steve Carp:

And then one hour later, Carp is announcing the deal.

It's identified as ATTSN on the channel guide, but right now I'm seeing C-SPAN.

Hoping...

That's really a bizarre turn if he was trying to be misleading. Why would you put them on blast after getting a deal done?

No, I don't think Carp had anything to do with it. It's just that the first word we got from Foley this morning about the deal not being done was that he was "truly disappointed", and then an hour later the deal got done. I wonder if Foley called AT&T completely irate and said GET THE DEAL DONE IN TIME FOR THE GAME TONIGHT!

 

[LadyStanley]

Just got off phone with Cox **supervisor**. Confirmed channel for ATTSN is 313/1313. I too am getting CSPAN.

Less than two hours to puck drop.

 

[Nevada Jones]

It's on!!!!!!

 

[Puckrobber]

Welcome to the NHL, Las Vegas!

 

[mundyc3]

Reset your box if it isn't working. Problem is doesn't show the game on guide.

 

[BKIslandersFan]

Kudos to GK/ATTSN/COX or all above them for getting the deal done on time and people got to see history made!

In the long run this deal may be better for the team than FS West.

 

[Puckrobber]

Now, the biggest worry (at least for me) is going to be how the home opener will be shown, considering it's on NBCSN. Probably no showing of the pre-game opening, no local flair, plus, they'll more than likely pick broadcasters who'll make you want to shoot your TV. On top of that, it's a double-header. Chicago/Montreal is the first game shown, so, count on the possibility of missing the first 5-10 minutes of the 1st period.

I'm thankful that the NHL has a deal for hockey in the U.S., however, I wish NBC didn't have so much power to decide who they televise, and how they do it. They f*** up a lot of games for us in the Western half of the States.

 

[LadyStanley]

National games usually start ~15 minutes "later" than normal to account for pregame hype (and for late games, OT, slow play). But last week's Sharks home opener started 15 minutes after the half hour, but was JIP about 10 minutes into play. Sigh. Such is life of a west coast fan.

That said, SOMETIMES they schedule three hours for ET game followed by PT game. In that case, they may actually have toms time to head to studio to prepare for 2nd game.


There will be 10-15 minutes of pregame ceremonies (player introductions, etc.), so it may actually work that when the puck is ready to drop, the national coverage is "on".

 

[LadyStanley]

ATTSN has announced one hour pregame show for Tuesday.

So has anybody gotten their money back from NHL center ice? Since I cant see any Vegas games there's no point in having it.

Also, who has Cox / Sling / Vue / anything else who doesn't mind telling me what package they have and how much it is?

I have Cox Advanced TV Preferred. It's bundled with phone (LOL) and internet, so I get a modest discount, but the TV part is $121.58. However that also includes a DVR and "mini-box," which is for a second TV in the bedroom. So you could subtract $13.50 if you don't need those. Also, this doesn't include taxes, fees and surcharges for the whole bundle, which comes to $17.01. TV only would, of course, be less.

I think you can get ATT SportsNet with Cox Essential, which is a lesser tier than I have. But I have searched the Cox website, which is a confusing mess, and I can't find a price for that...but it should be less than what I pay for Advanced Preferred.

Hope this helps a bit.

No point in having it? Ooh, I don't know about that. Although, I switched from Center Ice to NHL.TV last year and I love it. Granted, I don't get to see the Kings/Ducks game through the app, but I get the rest of the league - AND they also have really cool "game recap" videos that are much better than the highlight packages on NHL Network. One more thing: if you end up traveling during the season, you'll be able to watch Golden Knights games on your phone/laptop/tablet from wherever you are.

 

[LadyStanley]

I can watch on my computer/tablet/phone using streaming feature of my TiVo DVR.

 

[BKIslandersFan]

Do you guys get any other team games besides Golden Knights with ATTSN? I know Jazz and Rockies air on it too, but I know Vegas is LA territory when it comes to baseball, so Rockies are no go.

I’m glad I get Center Ice, especially this season. Before the Knights I’d watch the Ducks/Kings games on their respective Fox Sports channels. Tonight the Ducks/Flames game is listed on Prime but when I go to Prime there’s other programming on and I have to watch the same feed on Center Ice.
