NBA IS COMING NEXT WEEK CHANNEL LINEUP

[JASONPR]

Hey all you basketball fans – we have some good news! FiOS TV customers will soon have access to a full season of the NBA with live games and original programming. NBA LEAGUE PASS and NBA TV will now be a part of the FiOS TV channel lineup. Starting next week, we’ll launch NBA TV on channel 89. The HD version of the channel, along with the NBA League Pass package (also available in SD and HD on channels 1490 -1494 & 1489), will arrive on your TV sets soon

I just got into the NBA.com website and noticed that starting today, you can order the NBA League Pass from Verizon FIOS.  This is what I have been waiting for since last year.

Thank you Verizon! And thank you for not making us get the sports package to get the channel.

THIS IS THE MOMENT I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR 2 YEARS FOR!!!! NBA TV ON FIOS!! VERIZON YOU ROCK!!! THE LACK OF NBA TV WAS YOUR ONLY SHORTCOMING WITH THE FIOS TV SERVICE. YOU GUYS BLOW EVERYONE AWAY WITH CHANNEL SELECTION, HD PICTURE AND SOUND QUALITY, ETC. NOW MY WISH HAS COME TRUE. NBA TV ON FIOS!!! FIOS TV HAS COME THROUGH FOR ME YET AGAIN!!!!

I have the HD Extreme package so that means I should have NBA TV -- however, I still don't see it in my channel listings. 

When is it going live???

Just-

If you don't have it yet - everyone should see it by Thursday.

If you do not see the channel yet on your TV, please do not call in.  Some of our Video Hub offices do not have to provisioned yet.  Everyone should see this channel "live" by Oct 5th. Sorry about the confusion folks.

can someone with some knowledge please explain to me why verizon is telling me i need to subscribe to the sports package for nba tv?  it has nba tv clearly on the channel lineup (for the extreme hd plan) on the verizon website and it also said on nba.com that it would be available for everyone on the extreme hd plan.  as much as i love fios im getting a little frustrated with this and not having msg in hd.  i can understand the msg situation but this nba tv problem needs to be cleared up asap.  im a big basketball guy and i dealt with no msg hd / nba tv last year but my contract is up in early november and this nba tv thing is gonna be a deal breaker for me...
