Even the show on the screen says hockey from 7 - 9:30 but hey, it's the Islanders and Dolan does not own the Islanders. 7:10 and still no Howie Rose on channel 79 No, the ad was write for Cablevision.

I looked into getting CenterIce to watch but those are blacked out too b/c I live in the local area so I am guessing they don't have broadcasting rights. So anyone in CT is in a black hole for live Isles games. Any info as to why this is and any suggestion as to how to get around it? This is so annoying especially since I will pay the money to be able to watch the games!

They cant give up the guaranteed millions that they are getting from MSG for broadcasting rights. Unless the Isles have a bountiful future then we are stuck with MSG. Sadly.

Last year the non-HD broadcasts on the overflow channel were awful picture quality. Worse than a traditional SD broadcast. I may need to endure Chico and Doc tonight...awful.

How come the Isles broadcast can’t be on MSG+ in the long island area and the Devils broadcast be on MSG+ in the Jersey area. It bothers me that on Long Island, the Isles play 2nd fiddle to a team out of state. The reason being both teams play on the same channel. So the home team has the HD feed. MSG2 isn't in HD. If the Rangers weren't playing tonight the Isles feed would be in HD on MSG. Or vice versa Who has some knowledge in the TV industry.
