NHL TV

[Chwk River]

Hi all... I don't have cable or satellite TV but I bought sub to NHL TV that I watch via "Apple TV". I can watch some Canuck games but tonite is a "blackout". WTH? Can usually get the Sat nite games as part of Hockey nite in Canada and sometimes there's a "free game" ... I thought they'd all be "free" to a subscriber, but apparently they're not. I find the system annoying and confusing. Any chance someone here could explain how this NHL TV subscriber thing works and why I can't watch the game tonite as they visit the Ducks but other times I can watch home games - like when they hosted LA on Wed? Thanks!

As far as I understand if they are on local Sportsnet stations that are included in the basic cable package they are blacked out on NHL TV. I assume its part of the "cable" deal the NHL has so people still "need" to pay for cable to watch every game. I believe if you get a VPN you can avoid this issues but I have very little knowledge of VPNs.

 

Sorry this really isn't all that helpful.

NHL TV is specifically for out of market games, although it will also carry national broadcasts.  So that means anything that is on a Sportsnet regional broadcast will be blacked out on NHL TV.

Generally CBC games won’t be on NHL TV (in Canada).  However, download the CBC app and you can watch Saturday night hockey.

If you want all the Canucks games Just subscribe to Sportsnet Now.  I think it is $30 a month.
