NHL Center Ice 2019-20 Season

You will most likely have to wait until October 1st.  There is usually a 1-2 week free preview.  The agents still don't understand that the NHL Network is not Center Ice.  Just be patient it will be there

NHL Center Ice should be available on 9/23 to purchase the early bird offer. 

Thanks for that, Chad. Do you know if subscriptions can be added via web, or must we (ugh) call?

I chatted with a Comcast agent who promised that all NHL Center Ice 2019-2020 games will be available in HD.  They did not say if that was in beta or not, and they did not know the price.  It will available in "early October" which is somewhat funny since the season starts on October 2.  Every customer seems to agree that broadcasting games in SD is just an insult to the customers, and you wonder why Comcast would even consider it.  Also, it seems that they should already know the price, so my suspicion is that it will be as expensive as NHL.tv (streamed on a Roku, for example), which is $116 for a single team and $145 for all teams/games (or maybe Comcast will charge even more??).  I would prefer to get this as an add-on to my Comcast package, and you would think that would be at least at a small discount to loyal Comcast cutomers versus buying NHL.tv directly from the NHL.

so there will be like 9+ linear HD channels (with channel numbers)  for 'NHL center ice'

 

or is "offered in HD" mean via this 'Beta platform' (which seems to be around 5 years old now)

Cmon,  surely you know the answer to that 🙂

I believe the plan is to remove the “beta” tag and assign channels that will appear in the guide. Will have to check if it will be ready before the season starts or is updated after.

Is  that also the plan (for next spring) for MLB extra innings ?

It sounds like no one has actually signed up for CI for this year. I used my X1 cable box/remote and ordered it. Now, how do I know that the order actually "took"? I did get a message on the screen that my purchase was successful and that I would have access to CI within 2 hours--something that was literally imposible. This was at 10AM on Monday. If I navigate back to the NHL Center Ice voice search, I still see the "Subscribe" box. No email about the added service. My billing doesn't roll over until after Oct. 4. If anyone does sign up through web or tv box, please share with me your verification method from Comcast. Thanks.

How exactly did you 'authenticate' your free NHL.TV account through your NHL CI subscription?
