Considering retiring to Big Island spring/summer, but need to be able to watch NHL hockey playoffs this year and full season next year. Can anyone give me some information on availability of NHL Center Ice and Versus on cable or satelite and the quality of reception. Are there many interruptions in service? Thank you for any information provided!

Do you know what area you will be moving to and who you will be getting tv from? I suggest you find that out and then contact the company to see what they provide. Some of us are on Time Warner cable, some are on Direct TV, some people have satilite dishes.

With a clear line of site you can get Dish Network and Direct TV. With one of their pay through the nose packages you can probably get anything; check their websites.

I have a friend who gets the 101 channel Time Warner cable package just so he can watch NASCAR.

I use NHL Gamecenter and watch the games live on my computer which is hooked up to my TV. That you can get anywhere although California teams are blacked out. Quality is excellent.

In case you were wondering, surfing is bigger in Hawai'i than hockey is. They carry the competitions live on local tv.

Default Thanks to all!

Did some checking, and I guess I'll have to decide where to live before I can definitely find out about the cable companies. Watching on TV through computer could be the way to go. Thanks to all responses! Go Rangers!
