    I have a question about national blackouts and blackout windows on NHL.TV, which I am subscribing to for the first time this season. The info I read indicated that all games available nationally would be subject to blackout, and that the game would be available as an archive 48 hours after the...

    When I go to nhl.com and bring up the schedule, I get the following for October 12: Toronto at Ottawa: SN, TVAS St. Louis at Chicago: no TV Calgary at Edmonton: SN, TVAS2 Los Angeles at San Jose: no TV Why would this be happening to me? It doesn't matter if I access the site on my iPad or my...

    When I view the NHL schedule at nhl.com, I don't see any info about what games are on national TV in the US, i.e. NBCSN or NHLN. I see info about local TV, as well as Canadian TV (both national and local), but no national US feeds. I remember having a similar problem towards the end of the...

    The nitpick in me is going to tell you that it is not actually a VPN, since it is not tunneling all traffic (check out the latest Security Now podcast for details). Still, it does obfuscate the IP address for traffic that does get rerouted, so...

    MLB EI only includes telecasts by the teams, plus regional games from FOX. The telecast on MLB Network Alternate was neither, so it was not eligible for EI. MLB.TV provides all games, including those not televised by the teams. If there is no TV, you get the radio broadcast plus visuals from...

    Is anyone else having problems accessing MLB.TV archived games with a subscription linked through DirecTV? Some archives play fine, but others give errors indicating that I need a valid subscription to view the game. So far I haven't seen this problem with live feeds. I remember this being a...

    As you may or may not know, both the MLB and NHL apps are now being maintained by MLB Advanced Media, and they have similar user interfaces this year. This week both apps were updated on iOS to add support for higher quality video streams at 60 frames per second, though only select video...

    I've noticed that Cardinals games on FS Midwest 671 are being blacked out, while the mirrored broadcast on FS South channel 646-3 (or thereabouts) was in the clear. Usually the reverse is true, with 671 being available and 646-3 being blacked out.

    You should have been blacked out. DirecTV must have made a mistake (not for the first time). If you go to the MLB site and look at the schedule for games on MLB Network, you will see that some games have an asterisk next to one of the teams playing. The asterisk indicates that the game will...

    For me the MLB.TV access was removed at the end of the regular season. I purchased a month of the At Bat subscription in order to stream audio feeds during the playoffs, which was only a couple of bucks or so. Maybe I could've gone through the hassle of getting the account reauthorized for...

    The reason MLB EI and MLB.TV are now bundled together is the feature was added into the contract for MLB EI when it was renewed a couple of years ago. I have no idea when the NHL CI contract is up for renewal, but whenever that is, that is the earliest we can expect NHL CI and NHL.TV to be...

    Does anyone know if NHL online video streams are offered in Dolby Digital 5.1 or not? I am thinking about switching from CI to NHL.TV (or whatever it's called now) next season, and this is one factor that may influence my decision.

    As someone who is visually impaired, with a condition that gets progressively worse over time, I love what Apple has done to make their devices accesssible, with such technologies as VoiceOver to help the blind use their products. This includes the Apple TV. I have almost reached the point...

    Last night, my HR44-500 did something really strange. While watching recordings, the playback position on the time bar stayed at 0:00, regardless of where I was in the recording. This bug prevented fast forward from working properly, although other trick play functions were fine, including 30...

    You are not alone. I've been frustrated with autorecords since this update. I am hoping the new version that just went out solves it. Basically, after the box is rebooted, the autorecords populate correctly, but that only lasts for a day or two. After that, they stop updating completely, so...

    Root Sports is carrying both Rockies games today. The second game might not be eligible for MLB EI, though. Having said that, given how much rain we're supposed to be getting today, they may have trouble getting both games in. EDIT - Both games are in the guide on channels 730 and 731. The...

    I am seeing the same thing you are, and I am in Denver. The feed is working on MLB.TV, so this appears to be DirecTV issue. EDIT - I didn't realize that they are playing a doubleheader. The White Sox feed of the second game is on channel 749, and it's in the clear.

    It would be really nice if DirecTV carried all of the audio tracks from all of the channels in their lineup, but they are very selective, presumably for bandwidth reasons. I doubt you will be able to convince anyone to add the audio track you're looking for.

    It's because every channel number in the 700s is reserved for something, so something else will need to be subtracted to make room for the thirtieth feed. It's worse for NBA and NHL, each of which has nineteen channels reserved for them, not enough if there are ten or more games scheduled on a...

    Sounds like either your NBC affiliate is showing the wrong game or NBCSN gave out erroneous blackout info. You will probably have to go online for the Detroit game.
