The games are available via DirecTV (channel 623 (NESN) and 626 (Empire)), but you need to have the sports package to get the broadcast.  

NESN is also available via Dish Network (ch. 434). . . you will need the "America's Top 100" package or higher to get NESN on the Dish Network.

Direct satellite coordinates also available and are as follows:
KU Band
Satellite: AMC2
Transponder: 13

NESN will also broadcast the semifinal games (Friday, March 15 at 4 and 7:30 p.m.) and the championship game (Saturday, March 16 at 7:30 p.m.) live from Lake Placid (DirecTV ch. 623).

Empire will only have the championship game (Saturday, March 16 at 7:30 p.m.) from Lake Placid (DirecTV ch.  626).

Time Warner Cable in Ithaca WILL broadcast the Lake Placid games.

The direct satellite coordinates for the Lake Placid games are the same as posted above.

Thank you Beeeej, Laura, NESN and Empire. Now I hope that I can watch.

NESN website says they are on Satcom C-3 Transponder 14.....

are the direct satellite coordinates provided (KU band, sat AMC2, transponder 13) the actual uplink from Lynah?

Hmm, now I need to start looking earlier for a sports bar in Los Angeles that gets NESN and will play the game. If there's anyone out here in ELF-land that lives in LA and wants to find someplace to watch the game, send me an email.

I have been able to watch previous games at  a local racetrack that had the DirecTV sports package, and many, many TV sets...might be an alternative to a sports bar

Wow! Although I'm hoping to be at the Saturday game (if the folks in the Cornell ticket office would just answer the damn phone!), that's great news. I hope this info gets put up by USCHO on their main page. It, along with the media coverage that Cornell hockey has received this year, has gone a long way to create an impression that Cornell is "big time" --good for recruiting I dare say.

[Greg Berge]

Holy freaking sheet.  Now I have to find a bar in Portland that will show it.

Yeah.  Right.

ok. in advance. anyone who gets the game and is planning on taping it, wanna make some extra money$$ ??

does this mean no hockeycam on saturday???

Good old NESN, they're always coming through.  Living in Boston I get NESN on local cable.  I'm not entirely sure if they will show that particular game in my area, they tend to show BU/BC and the rest of freakin hockey east all the time (Screw BU, bastards) but if they do play the Yale game you better be sure I'll be taping it.  I don't break any laws ever, but if you want to email me to 'discuss' the game feel free;-)

Thom, the NESN web site says "ECAC quarterfinal" is scheduled for Saturday, March 9, at 7pm.  Sounds like we eastern Mass types will really get to see it.

[twh2]

Excellent news Al, that's just what I wanted to hearB-]   Here's to seeing Cornell at the Worcester Centrum!!!

I wondered about exclusivity myself.  Although I can't imagine a rinky dink network like NESN getting upset.  Especially when the ECAC has to underwrite the broadcasts.

I can't wait to hear the master of gas "Whashisname Norton" tell the fans what prep schools the Eli's attended.  Actually last year I had to be resuscitated because the old f#@t actually said something intelligent that I didn't realize.  It just proves that you CAN learn from anyone.

[Greg Berge]

I'd love to have the game taped, since I seriously doubt I will be able to watch it, despite canvassing 3+ states.

This is why I got DirecTV.  Of course, I will end up attending every televised Cornell game this season (at least pre-NCAAs).  Greg, you're welcome to come over to my place and watch the game, as long as you put the right tape in the VCR. ;-)
