Definitive answer please! Are sports channels, part of the Extreme HD package?

Extreme HD

Everything offered in Essentials
Plus up to 41 additional HD Channels
Plus up to 14 Sports Channels
Plus up to 16 additional standard definition channels

According to the above on Verizon's website, YES they are included, but ever since I signed up (4/23), I have been billed seperatley ($7.99/month), for these channels. I have called cust service (ughhh!),they tell me it's fixed, I get a credit, and then next month's bill, it's back again! I want the channels but I don't want to pay extra! HELP!

BTW, my zip code is 08081 in NJ.

I believe it may vary by area. In Oregon, they are definately included in Extreme HD.

That is the problem, there is no, set answer from Verizon. It was "sold" to me when I signed up as part of my Extreme HD package, and I have been assured on numerous phone calls (to Verizon), that that is the case......................but still a seperate charge. I need something in writing.

I believe that Nationally the Sports Channels are part of the Extreme HD package (it is in Philly) with the one exception being the NYC/North Jersey metro area. I thought I had heard or read (but am not 100% sure) that it has something to do with MSG/Cablevision.

This is what I had heard also, but I live in zip code 08081, SOUTH Jersey, about 16 miles from Philly........................

If you follow this link:

It will take you to a part of the Verizon website where you can enter your zipcode and city/town location, and it will give you a list of channels available in each package. You will need to click on the Extreme HD tab to hopefully get an accurate list.

I used your zipcode (08081) to view the list, and if you are in Monroe Township then yes, the Sports Channels (300-319 I think) should be included in the Extreme HD package. There are other township options, I did not check each one to see if any are different.

I hope this helps.

Yes, I have already checked this out for my zip code and location, and it shows ALL the sports channels are part of the package. But that being said, I still get billed the extra $7.99/ month! I point this out to the Verizon people on the phone as well. It is soooo **bleep** frustrating. They say I am right, but can't correct the problem in the billing. I am ready to switch back to Comcast! Bob
