Where is MLB HD?

From the beginning Verizon said that MLB Network was going to be on channles 86 and 586 (HD). It has been a month since the network debut and we still have not seen MLB Network HD on 586. Direct TV and Cable Companies have the channel in HD, why is it not on Verizon Fios. Will we be getting the channel or what?

Here is a quote from Verizon's Eric Rabe posted on the Verizon Policy blog (my bolding):

John,
We expect to begin offering MLB Network in HD on channel 586 around the start of spring training. We already offer MLB Network in standard definition on channel 86.

Well, Spring Training is well underway now and still no MLB Network HD, I really really want this channel and I will go back to DirecTV to get it, any updates on when we will get it?

VZ's Eric Rabe is now saying MLB Network in HD will be live by "Opening Day'...a bit of a backtrack.

MLB network only available to me if I subscribe to a new HD Extreme package for additional $ per month. What a rip. What was the sense of signing 2 year contract if there going to add channels to a new tier that I have to pay extra for.
