hey guys I'm brand new to the forum and I'm pulling my hair out trying to find out the answer to my question on Center Ice. I live in the Rockland County area which is provided by Cablevision. ALL I want to know from you great fans is ABOUT how many of the games on center ice are broadcast in Hi Def? Cablevision while VERY helpful has NO idea every time I ask them. I'm not dropping $170 on a package where the majority of games will be in Standard def. I'm fortunate to have a 50' 1080p plasma running my games so I want to take full advantage of that. I don't know anyone local or online who has the package so I figured I would go straight to the source - Nhl.com. I'm not asking for anything crazy like specific numbers BUT I would like a general idea of how many games on average a night are typically in hi def. My interest strays towards the big city markets (Chicago, Boston, Detroit, Montreal, etc.) No offense but I have no interest in watching Nashville in hi def (no offense my sister lives there!) Thanks SO much, if I get a good answer tonight then I'll order it tonight too hahah.

For Red Wings games the local FSN broadcast are all in HD so unless you get the visiting team broadcast you can be assured it will be in HD every game.
It varies by team, that's why they can't put a number on the amount of HD games. You would think by now after some 10 years since HD came out that ALL games would be shown in HD. If the state with the highest unemployment (Michigan) can show it's local NHL teams games all in HD then no other NHL market has any excuse to not do the same. It's worth getting that center ice just to see the games and I'm sure they keep adding more games every year in HD but it's a slow progression to getting them all in HD.

I have Center Ice on Comcast and none of the FSN Detroit feeds come through in HD. They're all standard def. Perhaps I'm missing a step?

Really Kyle? FSN constantly stated before the season even started that all the games are going to be in HD. You think they just meant the game at The Joe? I'm not sure now.
Best to call your Comcast local price gouger and demand a reason why they are not in HD and if no answer is satisfactory then demand your cable bill to be reduced. Works up here when peoples bills are constantly going up due to that monopoly sized cable power. 2010 and none in HD down in Ohio.......bettman's and comcasts fault for being cheapos screwing us fans as usual. I'm sure they have good excuse for this problem, pftt.

Yeah as far as I can tell, none of the Center Ice feeds come through in HD. I didn't notice last season because I didn't have an HD Television. Part of the reason I got the HDTV was to watch the NHL in HD. Which I can do, as long as the broadcast is on CSN or VS. But 0 of the center ice feeds are coming through in HD. Which means I rarely get to see the Wings in HD. Not the end of the world, I know, but it is rather annoying.
