Centre Ice On BEV Compared To American Dishes...

I find it very unfair that BEV only offers 1 feed of an NHL game on Centre Ice compared to both feeds of an NHL game (when possible) which is very often on a American dish. I know both feeds are of the same game but there is a huge difference because of the announcers, between period activities etc etc. It's great to choose the feed you want. I guess the American dish companies have more space on their satellites but I find it unfair that we are paying more than American subscribers.
Also I have noticed that some pre game and postgame shows of selected games are also shown on American dishes. On BEV, when a game has ended they immediately cut off the feed. Not fair again. I find it ridiculous that the American dishes are offering more coverage of the NHL on Centre Ice especially when they are also charging less compared to BEV.
Now I know why alot of Canadian residents purchase American satellites.
Is there any possibility in the future that Centre Ice in Canada will be offering both feeds of a game and showing more pre and post game shows. If not maybe next year an American dish will be a strong possibility for myself.
 
Far more HD in EVU NHL CI HD than on Directv and more than on Dishnetwork.

Now, can argue that the HD PQ is better on the US providers though.

Directv has had about 5 HD games TOTAL in NHLCI so far this year. Five.

Dishnetwork provides 2 feeds for each game when available (SD). Directv does not.
 
Having two feeds of the same game will be rare in Canada. Bell and other providers are unlikely to allocate the bandwidth for two feeds. The American satellite companies have the advantage of already having most of the regional sports networks that show the NHL, on their systems.

I don't know about the pre-game and postgame shows. Is it the same on all Canadian Centre Ice providers?
