| Finally! SIGN UP TODAY! WOOT!
Verizon FiOS has lit up the Center Ice channels (1475-1489) and will be announcing orderability as early as tomorrow. Rumor is they will be live as of Oct. 30th. Additionally the NHL Network should be arriving with the next wave of new channels in mid-Nov. depending on your location.

| I'll be glad when the NHL Network is added.
Cablevision has NHL Network,NBA TV but no NFL Network.
FiOS will soon have NHL Network, already has NFL Network but no NBA TV.
I'm guessing there will be no NBA TV till FiOS has a deal for NBA League Pass. | |

| Spoke to a csr today and she said that NBA LP will NOT be available until the end of this year. Something about logistics and the channels still needing to be sorted out blah blah blah. She also said it would be offered at the half-price rate (the end of the year is typically the time that NBA LP is slashed to half-price).
Sad news that us basketball fans (who I find don't make enough of a stink on here) won't be able to enjoy League Pass as the season starts.
But also a bit of good news to know that we ARE getting it eventually. | |

NBA TV will be coming soon as well - it's not tied to a League Pass deal. It should arrive same time as NHL Network. | |

I'd say you'll need at least the Extreme HD package to get the NHL Network.
Just my hunch.

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.

| From »www.engadgethd.com/2008/10/29/ve···-lineup/ and »newscenter.verizon.com/press-rel···on.html:
Verizon adds NHL Network, NHL Center Ice to FiOS lineup
It may be a bit late for the start of the season, but Verizon's added the NHL Center Ice package, letting viewers subscribe to 40 out of market NHL games every week and early round playoff games, with "select" games in high definition. Beyond the $169 season bundle, FiOS also will soon be home to the NHL Network channel promising 75 HD games this season, along with 24 hours a day to talk cross-checking, zambonis and whatnot. We don't know if it can save hockey but we're glad Verizon is providing another option to the MLB, NBA and NFL action going on right now. | |

| According to Eric Rabe, who's in charge of Verizon Media Relations, NHL Network will be on channel 87 (SD) and 587 (HD)..and will be part of the Extreme HD package for most people and in the sports package for the NY Area.....
He replied in the comments section of his blog, but ignored any questions about NBA League Pass or NBA TV.
"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.

If you're in NY/NNJ, yes, you have to pay extra for the Sports Package; not so in other markets, where there isn't a "sports package" anymore (for new customers) and those channels are included in the Extreme HD package. | |

»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.
