Why do we have to watch 40% of islander games on channel 414? a low definition broadcast. Cablevision is currently running ads that guarantees they will show all NY sports teams games in HD- they specifically state the islanders- can we please get a broadcast contract that gives the fans something to watch, this is like going back in time. Im sure MR. Wang has a high def television- is he watching the same broadcast we are? or does he get a special HD Feed to his home theatre? WTF....also, nothing on the website showing the broadcast channels or the radio broadcast channel either- if its there, i cant find it. bad job.

I agree 100% I'm glad I'm not the only one.

just to follow up...there are actually 20 games this season that we do not get to watch in HD. I called cablevision to get some details and the rep said that we dont get to watch those games in high def because they were not being broadcast in high def. So i asked him this: "why then does the NHL network have the game on in high def on channel 791? but it is blacked out so we can watch it in our local market" The cable rep had no response for this...

bottom line, the rest of the country got to see the Isanders and capitols in HD last night but Islander fans in the local area had to watch the game in low def because of a blackout policy.

WTF. it hurts to be an islander fan.

Daily Horoscope for January 8

Sagittarius

You'll feel friendly with everyone you meet today, and you might even be lucky financially. Money should be coming in, but going out rather fast as well... Astral influences will keep you on your toes, and will probably make you flirtatious, but they could also make you moody. This makes it tricky for close relationships to run on an even keel. The truth is, perhaps you don't want too much closeness at the moment. Your partner probably knows that you're often like this, by now, anyway.
