I'm in Pittsburgh and I have the Extreme HD package. I get the "not subscribed" message on channel 598.

Also, channel 1538 is listed as "beIN EHD" in the guide. I assume that is HD.

I just checked the guide again and 1538 is an HD channel. All of the shows have the "HD" icon next to them.

I have Ultimate, but I do not see the channel in my area. Does this mean that this channel is not nationwide?

I say this because I was told that this channel will be for Ultimate customers. I was surprised that it was in the Extreme package thumbnail that was posted.

i dont know why verizon is so sketchy and secretive about launching channels, they should just announce it as info becomes available so that customers don't run around forums or call customer service just to get info on the launch. A simple date could solve all our beIN sport anxiety

Both Channels 598 and 1538 are HD MPEG-4 channels. The mapping is as follows:

* 405 MHz (us-irc:54, us-cable:54)
PROGRAM 1172: 1451 TEAM HD 2 NBA (encrypted)
PROGRAM 1173: 1452 TEAM HD 3 NBA (encrypted)
PROGRAM 1174: 1453 TEAM HD 4 NBA (encrypted)
PROGRAM 1175: 1454 TEAM HD 5 NBA (encrypted)
PROGRAM 1197: 598 beIN HD (encrypted)

* 681 MHz (us-irc:105, us-cable:105)
PROGRAM 1156: 1471 Game HD 6 (encrypted)
PROGRAM 1157: 1472 Game HD 7 (encrypted)
PROGRAM 1158: 1473 Game HD 8 (encrypted)
PROGRAM 1159: 1474 Game HD 9 (encrypted)
PROGRAM 1198: 1538 beIN Spanish HD (encrypted)

If your VHO already has channels 1451-1454 and 1471-1474, you should be getting these channels very soon. This is different from TV Guide HD which requires an open QAM slot at each VHO.

The new channel loading suggests that Verizon will pack at least 5 HD channels per MPEG-4 QAM slot even for the most demanding sports channels which use the most bandwidth.

So 598 (MavTV's old home) for Bein and only in HD. GOOD!
It's time to start offering channels ONLY IN HD!

Because in the past everyone in the forums kept posting complaints when dates got pushed out. This is the reason why launch dates are not announced.

Do not believe thumbnails as Verizon has announced publicly it will only be available for Ultimate subscribers. I would guess that a manager at Verizons Web site will be flogging someone atm...

Despite the notaions of the two channels indicating bein1 and bein-en-espanol, they are should actually should be considered bein sport 1 & 2, as both are each broadcast in English and Spanish and have a unique schedule(with the exception of Real Madrid and Barcelona contests, which usually are simulcast, or a weekday match, where it is the only match on the schedule and likely to be shown live on both stations). For example, bein1 shows a live Sunday Serie A (Italy) morning match, while bein-n shows a different live Serie A match.

Those with Ultimate should by right receive both stations with English audio, but it appears the only way to get both is by subscribing to both the Ultimate and Spainish packages, and even then you would get one in English and the other in Spanish, no matter your preferred language.

is there any workaround to add bein to Prime HD ?

Will be interesting to see if FIOS adds BEIN to the sports package since it just went up $2/mo.

My understanding is that there is NO sports package, per-se, only a "non-sports" package.

Except in the Northern NJ/NY area. I believe the sports package is still in effect in that market.

Possibly by adding the Spanish language package. Otherwise you need to upgrade to Ultimate.

I'm in Long Island, NY and I chatted with a FIOS rep last night and confirmed that my area has BEIN on channel 598 starting yesterday. So I signed up for the Ultimate package and I still don't see the channel. Anyone else on LI getting the channel?
