buffaloaggie Posted August 25, 2009 Report Posted August 25, 2009 http://www.fannation.com/truth_and_rumors/view/115950-directv-dropping-versus-network?eref=fromSI My DirecTV commitment is about up, so this is one more bargaining chip that I have to get DTV to give me Center Ice at a huge discount. Sucks that VS won't be on. Hopefully, they can work something out.
SteamRoller72 Posted August 25, 2009 Report Posted August 25, 2009 http://www.fannation.com/truth_and_rumors/view/115950-directv-dropping-versus-network?eref=fromSI 1st step for the NHL to make it's long overdue return to ESPN. I miss Gary Thorne's voice on the deuce. It isn't the greatest news to lose Versus, but any hockey fan in the states that actually watches games has the NHL Center Ice package to fill the void already.
wjag Posted August 25, 2009 Report Posted August 25, 2009 Be interesting to see how the NHL packagage honors its commitment to televise 100% of the games when a good chunk, to include playoffs, are televised on a network they don't carry.
TM8-PL16 Posted August 25, 2009 Report Posted August 25, 2009 so if the Sabres are on VS this year, those games won't be on my Center Ice channels? what about the playoffs? This might really piss me off!
wonderbread Posted August 25, 2009 Report Posted August 25, 2009 so if the Sabres are on VS this year, those games won't be on my Center Ice channels? what about the playoffs? This might really piss me off! Well I am not sure what DTV is gonna do but you can be sure that if they don't carry the playoffs I will be ripping that stupid effen dish off my chimney!
Ohiofan Posted August 25, 2009 Report Posted August 25, 2009 so if the Sabres are on VS this year, those games won't be on my Center Ice channels? what about the playoffs? This might really piss me off! Center Ice thru Directtv NEVER carries the vs. games! Center Ice better pick up those games this season or I'll...I'll be really pissed off too! Crap. It's always somethin'.
R_Dudley Posted August 25, 2009 Report Posted August 25, 2009 Well I am not sure what DTV is gonna do but you can be sure that if they don't carry the playoffs I will be ripping that stupid effen dish off my chimney! If's there's a local office we can show up at with our torches and pitch forks, I'm in ?

shrader Posted August 25, 2009 Report Posted August 25, 2009 Center Ice thru Directtv NEVER carries the vs. games! Center Ice better pick up those games this season or I'll...I'll be really pissed off too! Crap. It's always somethin'. That'll never happen. There has to be something in the Vs contract. If center ice could pick up those games, they would have already.
Stoner Posted August 25, 2009 Report Posted August 25, 2009 Dish Network carries Versus, right? I'm not worried yet. They play these games of chicken all the time.

I know there are other places to get VS, but there is no other carrier that has the NFL SundayTicket, and for those of us who live out of market, we need DirecTV to watch the Bills so DirecTV is my only option for TV. Something better be resolved, even if it's just 'turning on' VS for the hockey games for those subscribers to CenterICE.
red Posted August 25, 2009 Report Posted August 25, 2009 Great. I subscribe the NHL Center Ice for the Sabres too...but wasn't this supposed to be a banner year for the Sabres and VS, with them having...what, some 6 regular season games this year?

I subscribe the NHL Center Ice for the Sabres too...but wasn't this supposed to be a banner year for the Sabres and VS, with them having...what, some 6 regular season games this year? Maybe a buddy of mine gave me the wrong info, but I think VS is carrying 10 Sabres games this year. Yes, I could look it up, but it's only Tuesday, and I'm dreading the rest of the work week. God, family, and Sabres hockey are the only things that keep me going. Work flatout sucks. Man, I miss the college days...

I'm a DirecTV subscriber for 5 years now. I've sent them a complaint email about the possibility of Versus being dropped. You can also send comments on Twitter. They have until August 31st to get a deal worked out. http://twitter.com/DIRECTV

phSabres84 Posted August 27, 2009 Report Posted August 27, 2009 I held my nose and went back to cable...triple play and saving a lot of money! DTV just wasn't worth the expense. Now have HiDef with no further equipment to buy.

Ted's Hot Dogs Posted September 3, 2009 Report Posted September 3, 2009 I am really going to start not watching hockey if they dont go to ESPN... it sucks watching this sport being inferior to the rest of the sports.. Hockey needs ESPN. Hopefully they can get a deal done in the next two years..
