The only reason I get excited for games on Vs. is the potential that INHD will pick up the HD broadcast... but no such luck tonight!

the last few games have been sync'd up with the radio feed, so I've had RJ without fail.

I rarely get RJ it seems... NHL Center Ice seems to not like to use the MSG feed half the time. All our home games again Candian teams seem to be carried via TSN or CBC or whatever the hell the Canuck stations are! I'm sure I'll get Fox Sports Joisey tonight or some crap.

That would be a good idea, if my PC and the tv with the DVR weren't in 2 rooms not so close together. I also retract my previous statement about tonight's coverage... my medicine head already forgot the game is on Vs. tonight!

Most Cable Companies have the Ability to Simulcast now, I now Cox here uses it on some channels, I wish i can toggle between Audio 1 and Audio 2 and go from VS's audio to MSGs....

I know some of the MLB Sports channels do it, as well as basketball and stuff...
