Not sure if it's okay to ask... PM me if it's not appropriate.

From what I have noticed you can be logged on to 2 computers in 2 different locations at the same time. However, you can only be logged into one device, ie: phone, ps3, xbox, etc. So to answer your question, you can use up to 5 devices at once, and from my experience, in seperate locations as long as only one of the devices is not a computer.

I had issues with the stream on xbox last night, but the Roku was fine. I hope they can get this worked out as I like the xbox interface more.

for now the TV versions are much more reliable than the streaming version, could change over time though

If you have an iOS device then buy Gamecenter with one of the many iTunes cards that go on sale. I think Future Shop and Best Buy have $60 worth of cards for $48 but there are usually $50 cards going for $40 as well.

One thing to keep in mind is if you go about that route (I did), you won't be able to get any refund back. Gamecenter's policy regarding payments through Apple devices with iTunes credit is to refer to Apple's policy which is no refund at all for in-app subscription payments.


That being said, I've been happy thus far with it after the initial difficulties on Saturday.

Hmm... the Xbox app is working but is slow. It buffers / degrades quality occasionally.

EDIT: Yeahhhhh... it almost works. It buffers then plays for a bit on a delay then jumps to live then buffers again. Not really watchable.

I just want to know when the ps3 app for this will be ready. If centre ice wasn't in free preview I'd be a lot more pissed than I am.

no i have not, but i just installed it. will have to wait for a game to try it on. thanks for the advice!

[totti_07]

Stealthy doesn't seem to work for me. I turn it on than head to nhl.com and get an access denied error. What am I doing wrong?

6 games on Centre Ice right now. I can only get the feed on 2 of them. For the other 4 channels, Shaw gives me a message saying I need a different digital box (MPEG4). How is it that I can get 2 channels without the new box, but not the other 4? What a joke.

HD vs SD?

[nomad]

No, don't think so. I'm watching the LA-COL game in HD right now on Shaw 356.

I agree the gamecenter on the xbox is frustrating. Constantly changes resolution and constantly stalling and restarting as well as skipping backwards. The only positive is that the menu navigation and layout is superior.

I went out and picked up an apple TV and the stream was flawless. The only downside to the apple TV is the menu navigation is quite cumbersome so it's not worth it to try and flip between games but I can accept that if I get a hiccup-free high resolution stream for the game I am watching.

Another interesting observation, I found the sound on the TSN stream on the Oilers-Sharks game to have a "tin can" effect but when I switched to the Sharks broadcast it was much better.

[LChoy]

My 2 cents

I'm in Toronto so resolution might be a little different, but I have no complaints so far. Watching it streamed from the Xbox is very slick. The Xbox app will let you watch 2 games at a time. Unfortunately, on the computer, Mosiac view doesn't work at a moment. For fun, I can get streaming on my Nexus as well, but it's better that I stick to the computer or Xbox

I think the layout and general app itself is fantastic, couldn't really be any better in any way I can think of. But if the games themselves won't play, none of that matters; it's useless.

[Dr. Doom]

No issues on Boxee either.

Crisp picture runs smooth on Rogers Express (Toronto area).

Very impressed thus far actually.

[AR_Six]

I don't even know what Boxee is.

Boxee, Roku and Apple TV are all small devices in the $100-200 range that you can use to stream HD media (videos, music or online services such netflix and NHL gamecenter) to your TV.

So there's essentially no purpose to those things if I have a laptop or an xbox or ps3 or in some cases a blu-ray player.
