Comcast & NHL Center Ice cheats their customers!

COMCAST did end up broadcasting Sharks games only on the channels that my region could get. Thanks Comcast!
Here's where to complain:

The area that I'm in doesn't have the bandwidth to broadcast 20 channels, so our area only broadcasts 10 channels. Tonight I missed watching the Sharks v. Coyotes game cause it was broadcast on 458 and we only get 461-470. I am paying the full price for this package yet only getting half the channels.

Hmmm...not sure if this is a recent change or not but the Wings-Kings game tonight is Game 12 and previously I'd be out of luck because, like I said below, the NHL game channels are 461-470 (Games 1 to 10). But tonight I see a new channel added, channel 454, which is labeled Game12, and it will be showing the Wings-Kings game. Perhaps Comcast has wised up....

It's about time! We pay good money for this service and it's lame that for more than half the hockey season we got 4 less channels than what we paid for. I'm glad to hear you got to see your game.

thats funny! I live in the Central Valley near fresno and we get channels 457-470 for NHL Center ice. maybe its just an isloated incident.

I wish it were an isolated incident. It's been this way since the beginning of the season. However, the good news is local comcast will air the remaining games (I believe there are 6 left) on channels 1-10, so Sharks fans will not go through this again.

They just did the same thing to the Wings-Coyotes game tonight (Dec 13, 2008). Comcast shows it being broadcast on Game 11...unfortunately I live in SF Bay area as well (San Mateo) and our NHL Center Ice channels are from 461-470 and that means only 10 channels, so apparently I'm SOL for tonight's game.

Comcast, as well as enter Ice, is quite a joke. Sure, 90% of the time they're great. But explain to me why a local team gets hosed. WHY?!?!?! Even in San Diego I get the Ducks games blacked out, despite the feed (SJ or the crappy Ducks). There are SERIOUS issues. And people... this post is meaningless unless EVERYONE forwards it to Comcast. DO IT NOW.
