Hello All,

I have a few questions regarding nhl centre ice online:

Has anyone purchased the nhl centre ice package online?
Does it work well in Korea?
Are you able to watch games at a later time?
Any problems on a mac (it was mentioned that there may be some problems on macs on the centre ice website)?

Thanks for your time.

I tried it last year on their free trial basis for a few days (was longer but I didn't know and came in for the last few days of the trial) and was sadly disappointed as many games were blacked out. I sure as hell was not going to pay for a service that had so many games blacked out. I'd say just go to www.channelsurfing.net or myp2p.eu which is free and not blacked out.

The free trial basis, was exactly just that. A trial basis. That's why certain games were blacked out. If you subscribed then you got virtually EVERY single game all the way through to the playoffs. The only games that were ever blacked out were the ones that had NO TV coverage at all. There were a few days when games were choppy or too pixelated but all in all I'd say it was worth it and there were times I'd even come to school a bit early just to watch some games. I'll definitely be subscribing again this year.

And yes games were archived 2-3 days later and you could watch them at anytime. Not sure about the Mac question though.

Ok well that is news to me as the trial basis said there were no restrictions, just a limited time to try it. There was one guy (not sure if it was you) who was happy that he could see his Leafs and didn't care as many other games were blacked out. Anyway if what you say is true that is great, especially the archive option. I also had a membership to 5minutes for fighting which had all the games posted after but I can't seem to find it again, perhaps it's now gone. Anyway good info about centre ice online.

I'm quite interested in getting the package this year. I'm assuming I can log on and watch from either school or home right? Also, the site doesn't list Vista as a compatible operating system. Can anyone confirm that it does in fact work on Vista?
