I live in the designated Quebec/Atlantic region and still can't seem to view the game on either 852SNHD2 or 406SNETE.
 
Same here in Halifax. This is the first time I've ever seen a Sens game blacked out on SNETE. I do get it on NHLH1 866 which is usually blacked out because we are in Sens region...
 
Bell has been having numerous issue without incorrect blackouts for Sens games this year. I'm not sure if the problem is on their end or with the information fed to them. SportsNet has been great with following up when a problem is reported and it is usually fixed by game time.

However, the issue reported above sounds to me more like a promo issue. When a game is available on multiple services as indicated above, then it usually is only "viewable" on one of them. This is a regular occurance. So, if the NHLCI promo is on, they force you to watch it on that channel.
 
Unfortunately it was not blocked out for me (Rogers Ottawa). Glorious High-Definition on SNet-HD and they lose again. So far I've seen them win once in HD (the second game in Sweden). Every other time that I can recall they've lost.
 
At least you've only had to watch them lose on TV. Every time I've been to a game this year they have lost except once. :(
 
I've noticed that the hd feed usually is messed up on the guide but they seem to fix it by game time and the sd feed usually has no problems, except last night both were messed up and niether got fix in time for another terrific loss to a bad team. Bell blames sportsnet anad sportsnet blames bell. I would think Melnyk and mlaker should be pretty pissed that a huge portion of their fan base is being blacked out because of an error.

Pissed off in Halifax!
 
I didn't have any issues setting a timer for the HD feed on SportsNet late in the day, Ontario. It wasn't showing up on the weekend though.
