Actually, ALL five (Ch. 1470 through Ch. 1474) of the NHL Center Ice/Major League Baseball HD Season Package Channels are now MPEG-4. They are all located at 297 MHz (QAM RF Ch. 36) and only decode audio on MPEG-2 clear QAM tuner TV sets. So customers with QIP 6200 and QIP 6416 boxes will get no free preview in HD, but will receive SD channels only. |

As was mentioned Fios will ship a free 7xxx upgrade to anyone who subscribes to the package. |

| Definitely very cool of them to do that. Sooner they get those old boxes out of circulation the better. |

Township Of Washington, NJ | A reminder NBC is streaming both games on the web, »nbcsports.msnbc.com/id/45340521/
and if you don't have Verizon Wireless you can use the NBC Sports Live Extra App to watch either game. |

I just had an issue with this trying to watch them on a non-Xbox 360 Media Center Extender since it doesn't support MPEG-4 and the same goes with the TiVo HD. I wonder when VZ moved the first two of these channels over to MPEG-4. |
