Yeah, all games will still be available but any game shown live on premier sports will not be available for 48 hours.

Wish premier sports would just disappear!
Expensive, rubbish service, still no HD.
£9.99 a month plus £5 or £10 connection fee depending on how you sign up! Rip off!

How many games do Premier show per week?
I'd watch most of our (Phoenix) games the day after anyway, 4am's aren't possible anymore. I can appreciate why they'll be doing it, but it will be annoying for the playoffs.

Exactly, what is worrying is that in the US due to every playoff game being televised GCL didn't include play offs at all.

They show 15 live each week I believe. And if the blackout is for 48 hours as rumored that makes the gcl suddenly look a bit rubbish

From their (Premier Sports) FAQ:
Q. What games will be blocked on GameCenter online A. 13-15 games we select to broadcast live each week, most of the play-of games from round 1 and 2, all of the play-off games from round 3, the Stanley Cup final matches, the Winter Classic and the All-Star matches.
Q. When can GameCenter show the games they have to block in the UK? A. They can make games available 48 hours after the live event has finished.
Does make GCL sound a lot less appealing. I doubt I'd have to wait 48hrs for too many Dogs games during the reg. season, but it'll make GCL almost pointless at the playoff stage.
Also worth noting that on there they say they're negotiating with Virgin Media to broadcast the channel.

I loved it last year and really got into it. Wish I hadn't bothered this season. Advantage to PS is they have KHL and an NHL nightly show. I'd probably just do PS but im on virgin. If I was rich I'd do both but I disagree with the way they are going about this.
With my friends and first for NHL news their is no way I can wait 48hours after a play off game as result will slip out.

if premier sports had anything about them they would do it properly like ESPN used to with their ESPN player which was pretty much identical to GCL so you could watch all games live or on demand.
All premier sports are doing by this is pissing fans off buy making it harder to watch the games they want!

You could sign up for unblockus, it's a service that makes you pc/mac/ipad think its in the us so should get round the blackouts. I use it for Netflix to get he us service in the uk. www.unblock-us.com/

Its quite expensive isnt it? The US GCL does not have the playoffs as playoffs are on national TV. You need an ISP in somewhere they are no restrictions. This meams Russia, China and those kinda places.

Anyone know how I get it in the ps3? I created a us account and got the app but now it gives me a code so I can link my account by going to ps3.com/NHL but then I can't input the code anywhere? Am I missing something? Or have ps not updated the app?
Appreciate any help

Lee - from reading other forums about this blackout issue, I think the PS3 app is due an update for the new season. But beyond that I wouldn't know how to set it up.
For either the PS3 or XBox, do you have to be a PSN+/XBL Gold account holder (is it PSN+? Something like that)? I thought I read that the XBox one needed a Gold account.

No HD or reliable streams either I'm using unblock-us. It's £3 a month which is annoying but get's round black out and is cheaper than Premier Sports even after GCL subscription. Can watch the games with no issue through PS3.

Can watch the games with no issue through PS3. Have emailed unblockus and they have confirmed that it is easy to switch it so it looks like we are in an area of europe (they mentioned Sweeden) that has no blackouts. Can highly reccomend this service.

Time to get signed up! Good find NYR! No worries, I used it originally to get the US Netflix service which is really good. Have changed my PC to Sweedish details and will report back once the Flyers game starts as this is one that will be blacked out I believe.
