[Devils-list] Things

The answer is no, you cannot watch the Atlanta feed on Center Ice, unless
you live out of the NY market. The greater crime here is not that Comcast
refuses to carry the channels. Those of us with DirecTV get screwed.  The
whole thing is basically Cablevision's way of trying to limit satellite
subscribers in their market.  They figure that if we can't get the games,
we'll subscribe to Cable to get them.
My one hope is that with YankeeNetsDevils, they will create their own damn
channel and be done with Cablevision altogether.

I don't buy the "can't fit the channels" argument. With digital cable
cable cos can fit hundreds of channels without any effort. It really comes
down to the money. Cablevision is trying to gauge Comcast and RCN by
charging a lot of money to get the three Metro channels which would likely
not be watched by anyone unless there was a game on. I think they should
stop showing horrid channels like the Golf Channel or Speedvision or the
Garden Channel. I have a question for all you Center Ice folk. Let's say
we are playing Atlanta and the game is on Metro. Can you watch the Atlanta
feed?

you have to buy, my area has one cable company and that is RCN - I just
plain gave up calling and trying to get them to add the channels but it
still irks me to see at times the islanders and rangers playing each other
and them being on both msg and fox while we are shoved to metro if we happen
to also have a game that evening.
