UK Apple TV: No NHL in 4.4?

I have a UK Apple TV 2, and have updated it to the 4.4 software released yesterday, which supposedly includes an NHL GameCenter Live "channel", except that on my UK Apple TV, the NHL service hasn't appeared in the menus.
My assumption is that the NHL feature is not included for UK edition Apple TVs.
This, however, seems ludicrous for the following reasons:
As of this NHL season, and for the past month or so, http://nhl.com has sold its GameCenter Live subscription service to the UK market (at a cost of $159 for the entire season).
The UK iTunes store offers both the paid and free versions of the official NHL GameCenter Live app. I have the free app on my UK bought iPad 2, and having logged into the app using my GameCenter Live subscription purchased on nhl.com, I can stream live games on the iPad 2.
Thanks to AirPlay, I can watch the live NHL games on my Apple TV, AirPlaying from the iPad app.
Why then does the UK Apple TV not have the NHL service given the above, and that I've paid the NHL for the service, and I've paid Apple for the device.

Until the app is also avilable to us, there is a workarund to get it going:
- go to your settings
- choose "iTunes Store"
- change your country to "United States"
Voilá! Now you got the NHL app
On the negative side you won't be able to buy anything until you switch back the setting to your own country. But the app is great. Lovin't it already... :-)

  • Does Apple TV stream NHL games

    Does Apple TV Stream NHL games ?

    At least SOME positive news from NHL Support FYI:
    There is an application for GameCenter live on Apple TV currently in early stages of development.  To date, we do not have a list of features or an estimated release date, it is doubtful that it will be ready in time for the start of the season, possibly around mid-season, but you are welcome to check nhl.com/devices periodically for status updates.

    So, sounds like it's coming...but, I wish they had their act together so it's available at the START of the season...pretty lame...not exactly "growing the game" as I've heard Bettman talk about....how is it possible they thought it more important to offer NHL Gamecenter through Boxee before AppleTV? kind of a joke

  • Apple TV 3 NHL watch live?

    Hello
    I wanted to ask whether it is possible to watch live NHL with Apple TV 3 from Switzerland? Or do I have to go through the app NHL GameCenter Live where they buy the upgrade and then stream with Airplay?
    I hope you can help me!

    If the existing NHL app does not give you what you need you are out of luck.  The Airplay option is not likely to work either.  AirPlay is required to block protected content by the copyright holders.  Nothing Apple can do about it.  So you probably will not be able to see the broadcast over it.  The same way HBO2Go does not work on air play.

  • NHL on Apple TV in Australia?

    Currently the Apple TV has NHL in the US, MLB and other sports accessible. Are there plans to make NHL available in Australia, or just MLB?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Nobody here will have any information about that here since the community is only made up of users like you or I. Anything else is mere speculation and speculation is not permitted here under the Terms of Use for these communities.

  • How do I remove MLB, WSJ and NHL from my Apple TV?

    Hi, can anyone advise if it's possible to HIDE the MLB, WSJ and NHL icons from my Apple TV? Note I bought the device on 15th Jun 2012 so it is recent...

    I love the fact that if you live in any other country than the US (e.g. I'm in Australia), you still get NHL, MLB, NBA and WSJ, which I have no interest in, but Netflix is disabled! 
    Come on Apple you can do better at this!!!!
    BTW this has been an issue since apple TV 1 and I've now got a apple tv 3.

  • What set up is needed to watch previously purchased NHL centre ice on new Apple TV

    We have purchased an Apple TV 2nd generation. What is set up needed to watch our NHL Centre Ice subscription?

    Can someone at least point me in the right direction?

  • Just did an Upgrade to 4.4.4 on my Apple TV and Netflix and NHL are gone?

    I have an NHL subscription and it was working on my Apple TV but I did a recent Software Upgrade to 4.4.4 and HNL along with Netflix is gone? I retried the upgrade and it has the same problem.

    I just upgraded my iPhone 4 to OS5 and had the same issues. 
    All of the Apple applications / components worked.  However, any non-apple application would flash open but wouldn't work and they were running in the background.  After reading this thread (although it pertains to a different upgrade), thought I'd try it and it worked for me.  I just went to iTunes App Store on my phone and downloaded a free app and presto!... now they all work again.
    Thanks for the tip... and the time saved trying to troubleshoot.

  • How do I watch NHL game centre on apple tv?

    I saw an advert for NHL Game Centre, which says I can subscribe to this on my apple TV. On the U.S. website it shows an NHL icon (on the apple TV screen) but there is not one on my screen (only MLB and NBA). Do I need to subscribe for the NHL icon to appear or can't I get NHL in the UK?
    Thanks for any help you can give me.

    Some apps have geographical restrictions and I believe NHL don't allow theırs in UK.  Don't understand why but heyho.  I don't know if they block mirroring which may be an option.

    Ok so that's not the issue as both have access. Make sure the location is set properly in settings. Try rebooting device and router.

  • If you buy the apple tv in australia can you use the NHL to watch live NHL games???

    ??

    I would suppose so. I live in Portugal and I have access to all the games, including the playoffs that have just started.
    You might have to change you Apple Store to USA or Canada to be able to access the NHL Gamecenter app, and you also need to pay the NHL subscription to access the games live. Otherwise I believe you will only be able to see the highlights afterwards.

  • If I buy the Apple TV, do I need to buy a NHL GameCenter Subscription to watch live games?

    I am interested in buying the Apple TV so that I can stream NHL Live games on Apple TV v4.4.  Do I need to buy a NHL GameCenter subscription to stream games, or can you watch live games on the Apple TV for free?

    Yes, you must buy a subscription for NHL gamecentre.

  • UK Apple TV infected with NHL WSJ MLB adds

    Don't be offended, but as someone from the UK who has no interest in NHL WSJ MLB content, I am now forced to see these in the menu system of my Apple TV.
    I do realise that to someone from America this may be excellent news, I get that. But as someone from the UK, this is forced marketing with no audience.
    I want a way to either REMOVE these items from my Apple TV menu, or at the very least move them to the very bottom of the menu list so that they are never seen.
    This is marketing gone completely wrong. Marketing focused on America - great for America - bad for the UK and likely Euro as well, I don't suppose they are too thrilled at the new menu items forced on them.
    I will never buy new Apple TVs until I know for sure this will never be the case again. Someone in Apple must see sense. 4od, BBC iplayer and ITV player, YES ... content focused on America, NO!

    In itself it's not offensive, but I think it shows a fairly egocentric US development approach to the product and lack of thought about users in other countries - it would be better to have to enable certain feeds if outside US rather than having them applied automatically.
    The order is all wrong now too with more universal functionality at the bottom of the menus.
    Just perused some WSJ - was great fun seeing some arrogant US financial pundit taking the mickey out of Europe and talking about 'normal people - Americans'.....
