NHL Center Ice still blacked out for me

I now know of two people in my viewing area who are having no problems at all - one in Maryland 15 miles away from me, and another in Northern Virginia. This cannot be a NHL blackout, because every single channel comes up blank. Very frustrating, and nobody from customer support is able to help me.

your complaint is with the NHL. Verizon does not black out games. All they can do is when a customer calls saying that they are not getting a game, they go to the NHL blackout list and read that to the customer.
comparing Verizon to DTV or Dish is not a good comparison. Verizon is a terrestial broadcaster and Dish and DTV are satelite. Satelite has different rules when it comes to blackout conditions. not always fair but there is nothing that Verizon can do about it. If it is blacked out, it is blacked out.

NHL Center Ice - HD

Looks like FIOS only has one HD channel for Center Ice. Is that right? We switched from Directv recently - only because FIOS now had hockey package. On Directv, multiple games were in HD.

Just wanted to make my voice heard on the one HD channel on the NHL Center Ice. I understand what a previous posters says about getting the feed from iNDemand and them only having one feed per sport. Still makes me unhappy.
I got the Center Ice package to watch a lot of hockey, not just my favorite team. I would like to see them start to broadcast multiple HD channels. I saw a listing for a game on NHL6/HD2 for the first time tonight, and when I switched to it, it was in standard definition. Maybe this is something they are rolling out now. *shrugs*
All this being said, if there is not at least one more HD feed for Center Ice next year, I will not renew. I can see my Bruins play all the time on NESN, but as an avid hockey fan, I like to see many other games and I am not watching SD on my beautiful TV.
I hope these forums are at least looked at by Verizon. I plan on at least sending a letter to them, a phone call, and an email. I am hesitant to believe it will do good, but at least I will know I did what I could before next season.
inDemand does now have 2 HD feeds. Verizon, at this time, does not carry the 2nd HD feed.
As a fellow hockey fan, I feel you pain. I can not watch hockey in SD for long, especially on the inDemand feeds.

NHL Center Ice/ Customer Service issues

This has been an ongoing issue for some time now and I'm ready to toss Verizon out the window over it. For the last few years I've been subscribing to the NHL Center Ice package. Pretty expensive.
All the games televised over multiple channels are choppy and missing frames. Very hard to watch. I call for help and they say nothing is wrong on Verizon's end. They send a repair guy. He notices the problem. Replaces all my equipment. Problem remains. He closes the ticket (after he leaves).
I call again. Ticket is closed so the process starts again. Verison wants to send another repair person. I let them come. They notice the problem, replace equipment, leave. Close the ticket. So far my set top box has been replaced 5 times. All my wiring replaced. The fiber box. The whole nine yards. Problem remains.
I called yesterday again (season just started) and I bet you can guess what they wanted to do. I'm at my wits end. All my other channels are fine. I talked to a manager at a FIOS store and he says well it's obvious the signal strength of that channel range is weak in your area. Easy to fix. I tell that to the techs on the phone and I get absolutely no help. As I see it I have a responsibilty to pay for the service and Verizon has the responsibility to fix my issues. Though they admit to seeing a problem they refuse to fix it. Any suggestions?

How do I cancel NHL Center Ice Subscription?

If you were signed up for NHL Center ICe last year, they are automatically renewing you for this year unless you opt out. Well I haven't been able to opt out. Does anyone know how to do this?
I tried talking to 2 different customer service representatives. The first guy said he will do it as soon as we upgrade my plan because my old plan doesn;t exist anymore. Then after we did that, he said he couldn't help me and had to transfer me. THe next person refused to even look at my account because I didn;t have my account number, amount of last bill and 5 other things. I asked her why the first guy didnt ask and she never responded then the chat window closed on me.
SO could someone please tell me how to do this because Verizon employees are **bleep** worthless.

Yes, that's where the directions say to go and where the reps tried to walk me thlrough, but the links they told me to click on weren't there. They were clearly reading off a script because they were giving me word for word the same directions in the original e-mail, and those links are not there.

NHL Center Ice Payments

I hope I put this in the right blog.
I have subscribed to NHL Center Ice for many years on a different cable system. We were always allowed to spread the payments over four months. Verizon for some reason wants the payment spread over three months. DirectTV, Charter Cable, and Cox Cable allow four months. If you go on the IN Demand website it says the payments are spread over four months.
When I call Verizon no one can explain to me why its that way only with them..."That's what it is"
What gives Verizon?

Fred-
For some reason VZ seems to have trouble with split billing. I went through the same thing last year, only in the end to be told - "we can't offer you the multi-payment option".
I bit the bullet and just paid it. Not sure if that still holds true this year.

NHL Center Ice ch#5 (1479)

Has anyone been having trouble watching games on NHL5 of the center ice package? On 11/01/09 the San Jose vs Carolina game didn't appear on the screen. The channel was there, just the programming schedule for NHLci. It couldn't have been blocked out in my area (Indiana). I contacted tech support. After an hour of getting nowhere, they finally determined that there may have been an issue with the feed from the broadcasting network. Consequently, I missed the entire game. Tonight I tuned to the same channel and low in behold that game EDM vs NYI was missing, too. Not that I wanted to watch this game, but when you pay $163 for a package, you should be able the games!!!!! I contacted tech support this time via email....didn't want to spend an hour on the phone resetting my boxes.....like that will help!!!!
So, is anyone else having problems with NHL center ice channel 5?

ncacia,
NHL Ice is not available in Mercer county due to blackout restrictions per the NHL. Our apologies

Ver 10.0.1. Entire screen blacks out for a few seconds when scrolling.

I recently updated to Reader X 10.0.1. Now when I scroll through a large document my entire screen blacks out for a few seconds. So far it has recovered. I get an error message saying that the NVidia nView driver (ver. 135.50) has stopped responding. I am running Windows 7 Pro on an HP Laptop, feeding to a large Samsung monitor. Never happened prior to this update. Any fixes/ideas?

NHL Center Ice + NHL Gamecenter Live???

hi! I am a huge hockey fan...lots of my Canadian friends whom are on SHAW, TELUS and BELL in Canada are buying NHL Center Ice, and along with their purchase of Center Ice, they get a FREE subscription to NHL Gamecenter LIVE which is the online service provided by the NHL...you can watch games on your computer and mobile devices (iphone, ipad, PC..etc)...so, my question is, why can't we as Comcast subscribers get the same deal??....I think it would be a matter of Comcast getting the LOGINS for Gamecenter directly from the NHL....also, I sure hope Comcast will increase the number of HD channels for Center Ice this year...only 2 HD channels...I hear Directv has almost all the games in HD...kind of a joke..this is 2010! any insights? Thanks!

hey Blackhawk, i've been going 'round and 'round with Comcast about NHL Center Ice since Comcast only has TWO HD channels here in 2010. I'm near Detroit and I paid for the package plus HD box and was excited for the season to start since i bought a new HD tv. They have repeatedly told me "we are working on it" in terms of converting all channels to HD...this is a bunch of BS to me...what does it take? satellite tv has EVERY NHL and other sports in HD. If i had known this before i would not have ordered Center Ice...if you look at blogs all over the internet, you will see it's up to the Cable provider to give you an HD broadcast...Comcast just chooses NOT to. I keep insisting there is no way in *ell ALL the games are not being shown in HD by the network broadcasting the games. We are simply not getting what we pay for...and it's very expensive at that...COME ON COMCAST, GET WITH IT!!!

Keyboard shortcut for adjusting exposure causes image to black out for a short time.

Hi everyone,
I have always used the mouse and slider for adjust things in the develop module. I know started using the keyboard shortcuts for faster editing as sugested by everyone and I do like it. My problem is when i adjust any slider with the + or - keys my picture completely blacks out for a moment then comes back with the adjustment made. This is frustrating and completely defeats the purpose of using keyboard shortcuts for speed.
The only changes I made is I upgraded from a very old dell dimensions computer to a new alienware X51 computer. I am using lightroom 4.4 64bit and a HDMI connection to my monitor.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your time.

Cj,
My guess that there is some other hot keys attached to '+' & '-' keys on your keyboard.
Try to put your system in clean boot and try to launch Lightroom and see if the issue still occurs.
If you dont get the issue any more go ahead and isolate the app which is causing issue by following divide and rule method on the apps.

MLB Extra Innings = NHL Center Ice

I'm sure this questions has been asked before, but I could not find it doing a search. Do you receive NHL Center Ice games for free during baseball season when you subscribe to MLB Extra Innings?
We are watching the free preview and it seems that the standard definition channels (SD) are better than last year - less pixalation and freezes. The strange thing about Extra Innings is that there are 3 games on right now on the SD channels and no games on the HD channels. All games are telecast in HD. You would think there would always be a game on in HD if available.
Do you contact InDemand or Verizon to subscribe to Extra Innings. We have had so many billing problems with Verizon that I'm afraid to make any changes to our service. It took 5 months to get our billing correct and it has been OK now for the past 4 months.
Thanks,
Doug

DCJ the MLB Extra Innings and NHL Center Ice are setup like standard Pay Per View events. For example if you called and ordered a Boxing match the Set Top Box is authorized to show the broadcast stream for the time frame and channel the boxing match is being shown. The idea is similar with MLB Extra Innings and NHL Center Ice except the authorization periods automatically activate for each game over the season without you having to order it ever time for every game. So to directly answer your question, you will not see NHL Center Ice games for free during baseball season even though they show the games on the same channels because it's only authorizing you to see the games shown at certain time intervals.
As far as ordering. It is my Understanding you can order through iN Demand or Verizon.

Standard def STB repeatedly blacks out for a second or 2

A site search on "black out" does not turn up a similar issue, of course it may be my search skills are lacking.
New subsciber since Sep 2010. I have 3 boxes, 2 standard QIP2500 phase 3 (basement/MBR) and 1 hi-def (LR). Hi def TV in MBR, standard in other 2. Both standards would on occassion 'black out' for just a second or 2 ever since original install. No problem with the hi-def. One standard is wired with coax, one with s-video, the hi-def with HDMI. When the black out occurs, the screen will freeze for an instant, then the screen goes black, then it comes back. The information on the box does not black out, the TVs don't power-off and restart. It's just the screen goes blank and then comes back. It happens without any seeming warning, and will happen at any time of day. Sometimes it will happen repeatedly, sometimes it won't happen for a long time. Both boxes have been repeatedly reset and rebooted with no improvement. During one tech call the tech had me relocate one of the standard boxes to the hi-def location to isolate that it wasn't a location (in-house cable) problem. I thought it curious since it was happening at 2 different locations but went through the drill anyway. The relocated standard worked for a few minutes, then went black for a second as the problem does. Plugging the high-def back in resolved the issue at that location. The tech said he would send 2 new standard boxes. The replacement boxes have not resolved the issue. Any suggestions?

if it's doing that on two different boxes using both coax and s-video then I think that leaves a possibility of the coax. that would be a unusual symptom of a bad coax/splitter but try this.
Wait for it to start acting up - when it starts acting up, stay tuned to that station, and hit your menu > customer support > in home agent > network diagnostics and click ok to start.
check the video signal using that menu selection. after it's done running it will give you a general message like "you're video signals are not in the optimal range" after you see that, hit info and then look at the SNR DB it should give you a number.
32-36 is optimal, below that is questionable.
If it is below that then it's probably going to be a problem with the splitter at your house, and you would either replace it yourself, or call verizon to replace it. be sure to tell them the DB

Screen blacks out for a few seconds occassionally

Sometimes my screen blacks out for a few seconds, then comes back on again. I have an original Titanium powerbook. Is this a warning signal of worse to come? I know I should replace the computer soon, but it's working just fine for now. I just don't want it to die before I've moved on to a new machine.

Hi Julie,
Obviously no one can predict with certainty what the future will bring, but if I were in your shoes, I would certainly think there was worse to come.
Many things could be causing this, but it sounds like a short circuit or bad connection, possibly with the display cables running through the hinges, or where they connect to the logic board. It could also be a sign of the display dying, though they usually just get dimmer and dimmer or simply die.
Does the "blinking" correspond to any movement of the PB?

NHL Center Ice

Anyone know if Fios will be offering a preview package of "Center Ice" this year? Also, will it be monthly billing if I were to purchase, or all up front? Customer service isnt very helpful for me lately...

When I went in to pretend I was ordering it, it was 2 payments of like $89.50 or something. No 4 payment option was available. Apparently NHL Gamecenter or whatever it is is not available with it with sucks.

NHL Center Ice still blacked out for me
