I wondered what happened to the Stars game on OLN that night. Tuned in and instead of hockey, they were showing some bear hunting thing.
Fortunately, we also have basic cable with OLN and they were showing the hockey game. We wondered why OLN on Comcast cable had it, but OLN on DISH did not.
We'd have really been pi@@ed if not for the cable OLN.

All these "packages" are lame. Just offer cable/satellite ala carte and let me choose what I want to watch...

Don't really know what the fuss is all about. The NHL Players and Owners proved that the NHL was very dispensable when they trashed the season so I would think that they would be giving broadcast rights away in order to bring fans back - If such is possible.
Perhaps OLN is reaching too far, attempting to get more out of their NHL contract than is realty there?

OLN is shown on basic Comcast cable because they own OLN. They're trying to package and position it as psuedo ESPN 2 or Fox Sports Net.
I'm on an Adelphia system that was purchased by Comcast and expect OLN to get moved to expanded basic down two tiers from the second digital package that cost $70 something a month with ZERO movie channels.

OMG!
No hockey on cable?
Whatever am I going to do!

Hockey Ping!
The NHL and the networks covering this league are really doing their best to piss me off - between stunts like this and an antiquated black-out policy governing the Center Ice package - I've pretty much given up trying to follow this league on TV this year.
Freep mail/ping airborne or Hat-Trick if you want on or off the Hockey Ping List.

I wish it were so. Back when I had a big C-Band, you could essentially do that, and it was way cheaper, which i guess is why they don't do it that way on mini-Dishes.

I called Dish Network and spoke with a representative from FSN (Fox Sports Network) and explained what my problem was (Pens fan in Flyers territory) and they gave me a subscription to the Pittsburgh channel for $5.99 a month,
I get the Pittsburgh feed for all the Penguin games.I don't pay for anything but 'Burgh games.
I just wish we would win!!!!!

The NHL has to seriously go after Comcast on this. The NHL has enough problems as it is without this.

Don't worry, I've got nothing against hockey.
My remark was more a knock on the NHL for missing all of last year and winding up on OLN in the first place.
To: Hat-Trick
Is it Sports Channel part Deux?
Glad I have Center Ice. Loving being able to switch between 3-4 games and the find the one with the best play (surprisingly Carolina-Toronto the other night).

You mean there are actually people who want to watch hockey on television? Amazing!

No Hockey! KILL ME! KILL ME
NOW! Oh, I forgot. I'm Texan, have basic cable, not Dish, and could not care less about some silly northerners slipping around on the ice whacking at a biscuit.
