What does NHL CENTER ICE come with?
When you add NHL CENTER ICE® to your DIRECTV account, you’ll get access to additional networks, tools and upgrades to ensure you can watch as many NHL games as possible. Explore what’s included:
NHL Network
During the NHL season, the NHL Network (Ch. 215) is included in your subscription to NHL CENTER ICE®. The NHL Network delivers live games, daily highlight shows and up-to-the-minute news from around the league 24/7.
Note: During the off-season, you’ll need to subscribe to a package that includes the NHL Network – ULTIMATE or above. Learn more at directv.com/sports.
Watch NHL in HD
Watch your NHL games in high definition, as many games on NHL CENTER ICE® are available in HD. It varies whether a game is broadcast in HD due to blackout restrictions and whether the game is available in HD.
Find HD games in your DIRECTV program guide by looking for the -1. For example, if the Ducks vs. Bruins game is broadcast in SD on Ch. 769, you can see it in HD (if available) on Ch. 769-1.
Dual Feeds
Keep up with both sides of the game with Dual Feeds. When available, this feature allows you to toggle between home and away broadcasts of the same game, giving two perspectives.
For example, if the Ducks are playing the Bruins, you can see the Ducks broadcast on Ch. 765 and the Bruins broadcast on Ch. 766.
