My vote is for Philly since they are last to get the full 100 rollout (assuming DC/VA/MD really gets all 100)

Any news on getting NHL Network on Fios?

With HDNet dropping out of broadcasting hockey this year, the NHL Network would be great for those of us who choose to not subscribe to NHL Center Ice. I've had NHL Center Ice in the past (via DirecTV) but am on the fence about picking it up again.

Frustrating, to finally get Versus(Golf) in HD and lose HDNet.

Do you know if any of the NHL Network games are in HD ? That was the great thing about HDNet.

There is an NHL Network SD & HD. I think they will carry both, but don't hold me to it.

NHL Center Ice IS HERE!

Okay,
I was waiting for today, however, as I was alluding to in previous posts, YES, Center Ice has arrived on FIOS TV!

This morning, I have "Coming Soon" sports channels in the IMG from 1475 - 1488 out of VHO8.

These will be for Center Ice. Ordering will be available next Wednesday, 10/22. All VHO's should see these show up by the end of next week.

At this time, it does not appear that the GAME-HD high def channel will be included.

I hope this makes some folks happy! So, save your $$$ - don't give it to DirecTV - and support VZ!

PS - As Matcarl stated, NHL Network (SD and HD) should arrive in November.

Nice! Center Ice is just in time for my Lady to subscribe to it for me as a birthday present! Now, if only the Flyers could win a game....

i wonder how much pricing will be? Here in the MD/DC/VA area Comecast charges $160 (or 4 easy payments of &39.99) for the season

As far as I'm concerned, nobody does hockey and Center Ice like DirecTV. Home and away broadcasts in HD. It's hockey heaven.

Nothing would make me happier than to see FiOS add all this stuff but between SD only for Center Ice and no HD for MSG or MSG+ (thanks to the greed of the Dolans) added to the severely crippled DVRs, I can't see myself going back.

Re: nhl center ice update

Does anyone know if the Center Ice offering on FIOS is via InDemand service or is it stand-alone directly from the NHL. I've been hoping Verizon would come to an agreement with InDemand so we would have access to all their packages.

Already signed up with Comcast for this season but I'll *finally* be switching to FiOS-TV once the season is over.

Here is verification from the NHL Office itself. A response to my letters. Two days late for me but appreciated none the less.
*************************************************************

Thank you for your letters. The reason we are just responding to you regarding NHL Center Ice and the NHL Network on Verizon Fios is because it has just been finalized that both will be offered on Verizon Fios. Please be patient as we are awaiting an official launch date.

Thank you for your continued interest in hockey,
NHL Center Ice

NBA TV will be in next batch of stations, probably November.

Is it just NBA TV in November, or can we expect League Pass to follow?

I wonder which will come first- the announcement or the Flyers winning their first game?
