Re: FiOS adding NHL Network, NBA TV or MLB Network?
Does anyone know if NHL Network does their own broadcasts or is it a simulcast of the local regional sports networks? |

@verizon.net | Simulcast, carried in HD when available. |

They pick up a feed from whoever is broadcasting. Saturday nights are the complete HNIC broadcast from the 6:30 PM pregame show until the postgame of the second game.
PQ of the CBC broadcasts is terrific. |

| Well there you go...this answers alot of ?'s...
»NHL Network - official word on channel assignments
Channel 87 SD - 587 HD (makes total sense) - they'll probably put NBA TV on 89/589
Part of Extreme HD package - or in the NY area, the Sports package.

I called customer service today and they had no clue nhl network was coming. The nhl site said the next few days I just hope Verizon don't put it off
Any clue as to what channels it will be sd&hd
Let me just quote one of the comments Mr. Rabe left to his own blog:
"NHL Network will launch soon and be rolled out to FiOS TV subscribers on a market-by-market basis. It will be part of the FiOS TV Extreme HD package (SD channel 87/HD channel 587). If you live within the NY Metro area, the NHL Network will be part of the sports package.

and NBA will be 89/589
one wonders if MLB will be 86/586
That would give us a nice block of all 4 major league sports |

I live in NJ and I have Extreme HD. Is the NHL Network included or do I need to pay more? |

Eric" That sucks, why is it exactly that the NYC area has to pay more for these sports channels while everyone else gets them in the Extreme HD package? |

So if I order the sports package it comes to about the same price people in other areas are paying for Extreme HD with the sports channels included? |

I'll assume since I'm in the NYC metro area, I'll have to pay more.
IMHO, it's not worth it since MSG gives me all that I need. |
