NHL Network with NHLCI

[koko]

I have Total Choice with HD & NHLCI.
Now that I realize I only get NHL Net in SD only...(which is totally bogus) :mad:

Will I get NHL Net all year or will it go away once NHLCI is over?

I am in a similar situation as you and have been told it will go away at the end of the season unless I upgrade to Choice Xtra.

I to have Total Choice with HD + CI and I was told by a CSR yesterday (I know I know they never know anything) that I will get the channel but not in HD throughout the year!!!>>>??? I guess the real question is do/Should CI subscribers get NHL Network in HD or just SD. I had read somewhere I thought that CI subscribers get NHL Network in HD....I tried searching but came up with nothing

I have the same question because I only get NHL network in sd and in HD it says channel not purchased. That would be bs if we get sd only. Can anyone confirm what CI subscribers are supposed to receive

Total Choice Plus
HD Access
NHL Center Ice

I get both SD and HD.

My understanding for another forum is that with ChoiceXtra sub, you will get the NHL Network year round, but with only the CI sub, you will only get the NHL Network during the season, but that is based only on what I have read from others, I can't confirm personally. However, you do not need both. As far as HD, I am pretty sure you need to sub to the HD Access sub to get the NHL Network in ND.......

Thanks to the work of SatelliteRacer, I have NHL Network in HD this morning. I have total choice, NHL CI, and HD. I contacted him through PM yesterday, and he indicated that there was some kind of programming error at D*, which they rectified last night, and I do have NHL Network in HD. So should all with NHL CI and HD.

This is straight off the D* FAQ page for CI:

Have them rehit your card, you should be set to go today after the updated logic system fix last night.
