Metrocast TV alternatives

We spent about 70 minutes on hold waiting for a metrocast operator to assist us. They told us we had to pay $11.00 more per month to get this station and I think it comes with some other sport stations. So needless to say by the time we were able to tune in the game was well into the 2nd period. Like others have said it's not metrocasts fault it was NBC who opted to put it on their sports network sister station so they could air "Chicago Fire" and other shows that are popular. It's all about the $$$$$!

How NBC could choose to air reruns on its flagship network while pushing out the hockey games to its sports network is beyond me. The only thing that's clear is why NBC is dead last in the ratings.

I have Dish but the NBC Sports Network channel was "Not Authorized". I did see the games though through my Comcast Xfinity subscription at home which allowed me to pull it in over the internet and then by HDMI cable from my laptop to the TV. I love it when a plan comes together.
