All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
There is work to be done and things to be learned. We are going to try to get the old look back - or something close to it. We also know there are bugs. A thread will be started to report bugs and then we can pass those onto the host. Thank you for all the patience and support with this - hopefully this will greatly reduce the crashes and other site issues we have had lately.
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across http://www.billszone.com/fanzone/forum/feedback-forums/billszone-q-a/6521455-upgrade-report-bugs-here

XM To Begin Broadcasting NHL Games In October 2005
NHL Chooses XM As Its Exclusive Satellite Radio Network Starting in 2007

NEW YORK AND WASHINGTON, DC (September 12, 2005) -- XM Satellite Radio (NASDAQ: XMSR), the nation's leading satellite radio service with more than 4.4 million subscribers, and the National Hockey League (NHL) today announced a 10-year, $100-million agreement that makes XM the exclusive satellite radio network of the NHL beginning with the 2007-2008 season.

XM will begin broadcasting NHL games with the launch of the new 2005-2006 season and will become the League's exclusive satellite radio broadcast partner in 2007.

In addition to providing live play-by-play coverage of more than 1,000 games per season, XM will create a dedicated NHL radio channel featuring original programming that will focus on all aspects of the sport. NHL games and the NHL channel will be available in Canada through XM's partner, Canadian Satellite Radio (CSR), which is funding a portion of the agreement. CSR has been awarded a license to distribute satellite radio in Canada, as recently approved by the Federal Cabinet.

Good thing I already invested a month ago!!!! I'm pumped for this since I don't think I'll be viewing too many Sabres games this season.

I agree. As a Sirius subscriber (Part of the reason I got it in the 1st place was the NHL's deal with them---as well as the music!), it sucks to see the NHL is going to XM. Of course, as was said, at least we'll get 2 more years out of the current deal.
