Roche, I don't have any package other than the NBA League Pass. It seems as if Verizon is being a bit misleading here since NBA LP is supposed to come with NBA TV no?

So if I am unable to get NBA TV on standard def unless I pay EXTRA for something that others are already getting as part of a package, then isn't Verizon screwing up here somehow?
NBA League Pass and NBA TV are 2 separate things. Anyone who subscribes to NBA League Pass doesn't get NBA TV as a bonus. If you are either a Sports package customer or an Extreme HD package customer, you are entitled to both the SD and HD channels of NBA TV. However, if you are just a Premier package customer with no subscription to the Sports package, you are only entitled to the HD version of NBA TV which is on channel 589 and not the SD version which is on channel 89. I know it sounds messed up and even unfair but that's Verizon's policy when it comes to which packages get or doesn't get the SD version of NBA TV.

SpeedyFios, you said that you subscribe to no other package besides NBA League Pass. Does that mean you don't watch anything on TV besides the NBA? How about local channels? You must have at least subscribed to the Local package where you receive all local channels but no basic cable channels. Both Premier and Extreme HD packages have both local and basic cable channels. Are you sure you're not signed up to either the Local, Premier or Extreme HD package? ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-NBA-League-Pass-NBA-TV-23375131 Sat, 21 Nov 2009 13:15:37 EDT Re: NBA League Pass & NBA TV http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-NBA-League-Pass-NBA-TV-23375027 said by Mac973:

That's correct, SpeedyFios. If you are a FiOS TV Premier subscriber, you will only receive the HD channel of NBA TV (channel 589) on your HD box but you won't have the SD channel of NBA TV (channel 89) on either your HD box, SD box or digital adapter. It doesn't make sense but that's how Verizon has it set up for FiOS TV Premier customers. If you want the SD channel of NBA TV, it will cost you either a little more a month for the Extreme HD package or $7.99 a month for the Sports package in the New York/Northern New Jersey area.
Do you have the Premier package, SpeedyFios?
I'm in NNJ and I get both 89 and 589, and I have the Extreme HD package. No sports pack. Why do people keep saying you need Sports Pack in NNJ to get NBA TV?
You don't need the Sports package in order to receive NBA TV SD and HD in the NYC and NNJ areas if you subscribe to the Extreme HD package. However, if you are just a Premier package customer in the NYC and NNJ areas and are not a Sports package customer, you will only receive the HD channel (589) of NBA TV and not the SD version (channel 89).]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-NBA-League-Pass-NBA-TV-23375027 Sat, 21 Nov 2009 12:51:04 EDT Re: NBA League Pass & NBA TV http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-NBA-League-Pass-NBA-TV-23346275

That doesn't make sense.

I mean, I'm happy that we have FINALLY gotten the NBA on FIOS.

But I have one standard box and one high-def box. NBA TV shows on my HD box on the HD channel. But it does NOT show on my HD box on my SD channel. What sense does it make to have it show on my HD box on ONLY the HD channel? Seems confusing to me.

I'm in Nassau, NY by the way.

So to summarize, NBA TV on my HD box shows on channel 589 but NOT 89.
And NBA TV on my SD box doesn't show on 89 and simply not allowable on 589.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-NBA-League-Pass-NBA-TV-23335585 Fri, 13 Nov 2009 09:49:42 EDT Re: NBA League Pass & NBA TV http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-NBA-League-Pass-NBA-TV-23332148 said by Mac973:

I still can receive NBA TV HD in Summit, NJ but not NBA TV SD. When I go to channel 89 (NBA TV SD), it says that I'm not subsrcibed to the channel and when I click the OK button it says that the channel is part of the $7.99 a month Sports package and to click OK again if I wish to order. Of course, I didn't click OK again. I clicked Cancel instead.
That's wierd. I'm in West Orange and I get both 89 and 589 in the clear (I don't have sports pack).
I just talked to Verizon and the representative told me that NBA TV SD (channel 89) is available only to Extreme HD or Sports package customers. If you are a Premier customer, like myself, you won't receive NBA TV SD. However, Premier customers along with Extreme HD and Sports package customers can receive NBA TV HD (channel 589). It's weird how they left out Premier customers for the SD version of NBA TV.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-NBA-League-Pass-NBA-TV-23332148 Thu, 12 Nov 2009 15:49:58 EDT Re: NBA League Pass & NBA TV http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-NBA-League-Pass-NBA-TV-23330622

How long did it take for them to activate your LP broadband? I just opened a ticket.

They still have not activated :( but the ticket is finally being worked on.

I submitted on 11/5, it was assigned to a tech 11/10

Hopefully only a few more days

Yes, two different HD channels, one is NBA TV HD and the other is part of NBA League Pass. You can go to www.indemand.com, click on Sports, click on NBA League Pass, then click on Schedule to find out what games will be on the league pass channels. I don't know what they air on NBA TV.
Good tip.

I ordered LP on 11/3 to get the early bird price. VZ activated it in 5 min......took longer to get through all the voice prompts to get CS on the line.

Oh, and they said I will get billed in 3 monthly installments, added to my regular VZ bill. Pretty cool.

Yeah, as others have said the PQ is not great on the SD channels, but when I had LP using Comcast back in 2007 it was probably worse.

At least VZ has 1 HD channel for LP, that was more than I had last time.

The big feature for me is the free LP Broadband companion (they wanted $139 just for that by itself!), so good way to always be able to watch a game since they keep them archived for 48 hours.

----EDIT----
Oh, for anyone trying to register for the LP Broadband, you have to put in a trouble ticket with LP, since Verizon is not listed as one of the providers in the pull-down menu.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-NBA-League-Pass-NBA-TV-23302343 Fri, 06 Nov 2009 13:51:52 EDT Re: NBA League Pass & NBA TV http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-NBA-League-Pass-NBA-TV-23298532 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-NBA-League-Pass-NBA-TV-23298532 Thu, 05 Nov 2009 19:49:31 EDT Re: NBA League Pass & NBA TV http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-NBA-League-Pass-NBA-TV-23293186 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-NBA-League-Pass-NBA-TV-23293186 Wed, 04 Nov 2009 20:38:50 EDT Re: NBA League Pass & NBA TV http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-NBA-League-Pass-NBA-TV-23292306 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-NBA-League-Pass-NBA-TV-23292306 Wed, 04 Nov 2009 18:12:29 EDT Re: NBA League Pass & NBA TV http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-NBA-League-Pass-NBA-TV-23273424 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-NBA-League-Pass-NBA-TV-23273424 Sun, 01 Nov 2009 02:58:32 EDT Re: NBA League Pass & NBA TV http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-NBA-League-Pass-NBA-TV-23272762 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-NBA-League-Pass-NBA-TV-23272762 Sat, 31 Oct 2009 22:21:09 EDT Re: NBA League Pass & NBA TV http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-NBA-League-Pass-NBA-TV-23268856
