Dude, Weak

So I'm recording the game last night on the TiVo to watch when I get home. It's sometime in the middle of the third period, so I rewind to the start of the game and I see this on my screen:

Sure, it is the preview of Center Ice, but that's pretty weak. I was able to join the game about 1 hour behind 'live'. That's pretty lame NHL & TiVo.

Also, with the TiVo I've got cable cards so buying Center Ice isn't an option (only have 1-way cards around here). Seeing this just makes me even "happier" I will be saving $160 bucks again this year.

You can get the Center Ice package with cablecards. The Center Ice package doesn’t require 2-way cards because it is just an “on” switch for the additional channels and doesn’t require 2-way communication (which is required for PPV, OnDemand, etc.).

That's Bizarre

I have TiVo and I have recorded games this season, and that never happened, even w/ Center ice.

There were a bunch of weird things with last night’s game.

i recorded it last night myself. doesn’t seem like a TiVo issue but a provider issue.

a provider issue

If I remember correctly from ‘Poke has told us, I think that’s it. Something to do with a combination of HD, Tivo, and Cox (cable co.). I never quite understood it myself.

My understanding is that since I only have the 1-way cards, I can’t get the service. When I first got the HD TiVo, I was auto-renewed into Center Ice, but couldn’t watch the games, so I was refunded the money. Cox’s explanation was the 1-way cards.

I stopped trying hard at it after that, and my wife likes not having to watch up to all 40 games per week.
