Thank you for all those dates Techman!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Techman,

Any way to clarify the VHO #'s for that chart?? There are 3 separate PA's listed. Personally, I can figure it out, but it may be confusing to others...

matcarl

I figured it out. The VHO's are in numerical order.

psumatt1

Thanks Mat-

Wow, you are correct yet again! Smiley Happy

Techman28

well dang if you wanted the VHO's I would have had this posted a LONG time ago

Tested

I agree with Matcarl! Anytime you get info about stuff like this that you can pass on - please do! I had wondered when North Texas might get NHL HD and now I know it'll be next week. I'm assuming the MLB Network will be a barker channel until it goes live on 1/1/09

Techman28

ok well Next time I won't change the VHO # to the state and just leave it as is.

Carl

THANK YOU!!!!

Seeing as how I have been a FiOS TV customer since 11/11, I was getting bored with the HD channels. Robot wink I was hoping for some more.

Do you know when CA is going to get 899 and 920?

matcarl

Techman:

No, that's not what psumatt meant. Don't put the VHO numbers instead of the state, not many people know the numbers. He saw 3 different PA's and wanted to know the difference between them, but numbers would be more confusing.

By the way, I Kudoed that by mistake, I meant to Kudo your original post not the VHO one, sorry.

Techman28:

Thanks for the update, but....noticed that for my area VA the NHL HD was supposed to be11/18..Never showed.

cheers

matcarl

Virginia is tricky, there are two or three areas that are on his list that cover parts of Virginia and Maryland.

nbafan

TECHMAN,

thanks for the info , but

What about NBA League Pass ?

Channels 1489 thru 1499 say NBA LP "Coming Soon"

Techman28

oh ok gotcha PA is VHO8 11 is PA Pittsburg and 14 is Harrisburg PA

cgsrfr

So does this mean I will be able to order the UFC fights in HD finally???? I'm in CA so 12/9 will be the day I can.

bull3964

Does that mean Pittsburgh isn't getting Encore HD anytime soon since the box is blacked out next to the channel?

Techman28

UPDATE guys MLB Extra Innings / NHL Center Ice HD have been postponed. There is no ETA only for those channels. I apologize but we'll get them for you soon.

matcarl

Techman: what are you talking about? Center Ice HD is on channel 1474 and has been available for several weeks. I think people were asking about NBA League Pass maybe?

TheSanchez

This was only for certain areas getting the new content push last night.

Sanchez (or Techman),

I'm VHO14 - Harrisburg, PA. The NHL Network SD and HD (87 and 587) were released to my market today. However, both channels come up unavailable immediately, and then after a couple of seconds say you are not subscribed to this channel. I have the HD extreme package, so these should be working. Also, same thing with the NHL Center Ice HD channel that was just released, channel 1474. And I subscribe to Center Ice.

I unplugged the box to reset it, but that didn't work.

TheSanchez

According to the information I have recieved VHO 7, 13, 14 and 15 did not recieve these channels. We have not heard why nor have i recieved any other information as to when they will be launched in those areas. They will be programmed into the guide but there is no access to them for anyone in these areas just yet.

Any information on when VHO3 (SoCal) may get 850 (I can see the channel and info in the guide but can not tune), 899 (Coming Soon), and 920 (Coming Soon)?

Thx,

Carl

Any updates on this Techman? As of this morning (Monday) still not seeing 87/587 in Harrisburg, PA (VHO 14). Also, not sure if you mentioned it, but we are seeing 1474 (the NHL Center Ice HD channel) at all. Seems like everybody else got this when they got the NHL Network.

Techman28

I'll see what I can find out on that

JamesParks

Techman,

I am in Henrico VA and PPV HD 1001 shows up on the guide, but always says "Off Air" what is that all about? Did this area not get the PPV HD yet?

Asking because the schedule looks like it shoulda already be deployed here and like I said, it does show up in the guide but with no information.

Thank you.

Techman28

it is possible that they aren't broadcasting but I can look at that first thing in the morning.

matcarl

It always says OFF AIR because there is very rarely anything on it. Maybe a wrestling match or boxing once every two weeks.

Techman, that would be great, I really appreciate the feedback!

Thank you.

matcarl,

I would at least think something would display on HD PPV, some kind of information other then "Off-Air". But like you said, maybe that's normal?

JamesParks

Well, as matcarl said, and FIOS Tech support also informed me today, that you will see "Off Air" / No programming Info unless there is a HD PPV sponsored event. So just because it's on PPV does not mean it's in HD PPV. That I did not fully understand, now i do :smileyhappy:

Techman: I'm on Long Island, NY, with compitition from Cablevision. I have triple play with HBO & Movies, very happy with FIOS for over 2 years. There is one issue that everyone seems to be dancing around, and that is MSNBC in areas that Cablevision serves. I even went as far as complain to the FCC about Cablevision. To my surprise, Cablevision called me.....AND LIED TO MY FACE!!! I asked: "When will your exclusive contract with MSNBC expire?" to which I was told: "We have no exclusive contract, Verizon is holding back". While I tried just to get an answer, I felt as if I was going against city hall. I finally just gave up. I hopeful that once the exclusive MSNBC distribution contract ends (and I'm sure there is one), FIOS will be in a position to start broadcasting. Heck, MSNBC is in almost all other territories. I know that FIOS is in court with Cablevision for the rights to broadcast MSG-HD. Considering how bad the Knicks are, this is no great loss. So after this long winded babble....Do you have any idea as to when the Cablevision-MSNBC exclusive contract may be ending??

snuka12000

We just got Fios and to my surprise Fios doesn't have one of my favorite channels, MSNBC.

Why doesn't Fios have MSNBC? MSNBC should be added to the channel line-up.

nascar

Assuming you are in a Cablevision area you cannot get it since there is a some deal between MSNBC and Cablevision. I am in a Comcast area so I have it. I can not get an answer as to when Verizon will be able to carry MSNBC in Cablevision areas.
If you are not in a Cablevision area then dunno.

Well, I think that I am in a Cablevision Area. That sucks!

lite

I live in, a Cablevision area (came from Cablevision) . I was also a Dish Network customer. Dish had MSNBC, Fios does not, SOMEONE is lying.

This must be on a Regional basis because I pretty much stay glued to it. I'm in the Seattle area. otoh - mayhaps I'm watching an MSBC wannabe?
