I sorted mine out last night, watched PHX - EDM ( ) from the other night on catch up and then saw the last 10 of BOS - BUF (a great 10 minutes btw) live, and all worked well. I wouldn't say the picture was HD brilliant (neither stream might have been HD to begin with of course, wouldn't know), but it was a decent SD image I'd say. Still think its ridiculous I had to pretend to be American to get the app, if you sell GCL over here make the apps available over here too.

It's the same if you use Apple TV - you have to say you're American for it to work!
I used the PS3 app - no complaints here!

The Android app is available everywhere, and the XBL app. Just doesn't make sense to me. Anyhow, doesn't matter now.

One thing they could do with fixing with xbox app, when you press scores off and go into your teams game it shows all three stars with info. *facepalm* It's so annoying.

Watched GCL for the first time last night and it was great; time to cancel premier sports (thankfully.)

Limited Playoffs on GCL, James. Might need Premier for that.
Agree though, it's been really good for me so far, via the console to the telly works great.

Unless you use a service like unblock-us.

I've only watched one game on my PS3 but it was good quality sound anx vision. The thing with Sony is that their European branch has to approve the app for it to be available on UK store and they are separate from Sony America. They probably just thought it wasn't worth the resources. Also I can get YouTube from the US store which is pretty good. And games download prices in the US store are less ridiculous than the UK store (seriously who ever pays £60 for a game when they cost £40 from any retailer.
Also works pretty well on my windows laptop, android phone and tablet.

Help.....last year I purchased NHL Gamecentre on the laptop to watch the playoffs, This year they tell me they are not doing this but the purchase button is still available $19.99 , what I'm abit confused about is in the small print its saying ( I think) that the games are not streamed live but 48 hrs later? I dont want to purchase if I cant watch live and Im not getting much sense on the phone calls. Does anyone have this already purcashed and is it working or am I better purchasing Premier Sports on the laptop which is £9.99 per month. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

Premier Sports upgraded their deal with the NHL to give them exclusivity in this territory, so if a game is shown on PS it gets blacked out on GCL until a period of time has passed (48h).
I think for the POs they've got a lot blacked out, I thought the first round wasn't entirely so but further rounds were completely.
There's a service mentioned higher up (unblock-us), which is basically a proxy so it looks like you're watching somewhere else in the world, which might let you get around this with GCL, but maybe someone who uses this can confirm it's still working.

Premier sports are going to be showing 2 games a night, So you will be able to watch 1 or 2 games a night that are not being shown on gamecenter live during the first 2 rounds of play-offs. after that I would presume the NHL schedule would only show 1 game a night in the 3rd round.
So the 3rd and 4th rounds will be blackout on NHL gamecenter as all these games will be shown live on Premier Sports.
All I hope is that Premier Sports loses the rights and we can go back to watching all games live on gamercentre live.
OR
That Premier sports do what ESPN did and have their own player showing all NHL games live in the same format as game center live

You're best using a VPN to get around the blackouts. There are some free ones, but this one is what i've used before. www.unblock-us.com/

Brilliant and the adverts are so funny. i am also quite lucky that the feed i use to watch football , also covers NHL games so if its blocked on my gamecenter , i will get it fed directly from this other US service

Has anyone experienced the same problem as me on xbox, when I try go watch a match sometimes it will say it is not available. This is not due to blackouts as still cannot get the xbox to show the last two playoff games whereas the ps3 will.
I have deleted the program and downladed again but still doesn't work, any ideas?

I only use it on PS3, had a quick Google for the issue and didn't find much, might be more via the GCL pages on Xbox.com

Ive just renewed my subscribtion on the service via Xbox and when it comes to logging in it says `login not available` anyone got any suggestions? The service works fine on my laptop

i'm all good on PS3 pidge, has the app updated for the new season?
A side note a lot of people saying Roku streams games incredibly well. I'm thinking of investing. Just want to be sure it works with unblockus so that I don't get blackout issues.
