Why arent the nba league pass HD channels turned on for the free preview?

They better be turned on by tommrrow or else i wont be too happy!!

This is because Verizon is in the process if replacing lots of boxes for people to see subscribed channels that are being converted to MPEG-4. If someone is subscribed to the package and can't see the HD channels, they will swap out the box. Verizon doesn't want to swap out boxes at this point for people to see a two week preview and nothing else. I was kind of bummed that I couldn't see the HD channels in the NHL package, but if I wanted them that bad, I would have subscribed.
On another note, I just bought an Apple TV unit, and I will never bother with buying a sports package of regular TV channels again. If I ever subscribe, I'll get the online version and watch it on Apple TV so I can get either teams' broadcasts in HD every day. The only exception is if a local team is involved, and I could only watch on my region's RSN.

  • NBA League Pass Houston Rockets are not in HD why?

    I bought NBA League Pass to watch the Houston Rockets, but the games are not shown in HD High Definition, why?
    I live in New Jersey, not sure if that matters.

    verizon fios only has 5 hd channels for nba league pass I have been complaining for 4 years about them not having all the the games in HD,they use to only have 2 HD channels then they added 3 more a year or 2 ago! now if they would only add at least 5 or 6 more HD channels to the nba league pass then everyone would get to watch their teams games in HD.I dont understand why baseball and espeiaclly hockey gret more HD channels than basketball but i can only hope someone at verizon talks to the people at indemand to add more hd  channels soon! because i personally will be going to directv next year where ALL the games are carried inHD!!

  • What In The World Is Going On With NBA League Pass Not Being In HD

    I just read a article posted on Dec 21 about "Indemand" recentrly upgrading their systems to carry more content in HD.
    http://sportsvideo.org/main/blog/2011/12/21/in-demand-upgrades-comcast-media-center-control-room/
    The upgrade was supposed to effect NBA League Pass in providing the game in HD rather than just having one HD Channel. But last night I noticed on Fios that nothing has changed. I was looking forward to buying NBA league Pass this year but I refuse to pay the same fee that other cable systems like AT&T Uverse & Direct Tv are charging top carry league pass in HD in comparison to Standard Def Fios is providing me. 
    I have been following this forum and news on other sites and have yet to see Verizon Fios put out any Press Release about NBA League Pass.
    What is going on!!?!?!!?!

  • NBA League Pass - Only One HD channel?

    I'm interested in the NBA League Pass package but I noticed on Verion Fios only one HD channel is offered for the games at any given time.  Almost all NBA teams have a local HD feed.  Even the NBA League Pass Broadband has all their feeds in HD 16:9 format.
    Does anyone know if there are plans to make available HD feeds for the NBA games?  League Pass isn't worth it for standard def.
    Thanks

    try going to the menu and then help on the box, then run a self diagnostic, there will be an oob ratio you want it to be over 19.  Try adjusting the cable from the wall to see if that helps at all too.

  • Anyone with nba league pass getting the raptors celtics game?

    do you have to sign up for nba league pass to get the preseason games? i dont want to sign up if i cant GET TO WATCH ALL MY CELTICS PRESEASON GAMES. iN PREVIOUS YEARS WITH VERIZON THEY WOULD TURN ON THE CHANNELS  for people on auto renewel automatically. but they are not turned on this year. and i'm missing a game tonight!!

    the only preseaon games i have seen are on nba tv  or my local reginal sports network,but in previous years iwe always got other games on nba leagye pass during the pre season. Directv  and to my knowledge have the preseason games on the nba league pass. I'm dissapointed with verizon for not  showing these games i dont even get any  screen on those channels. I think somebody screwed up and forgot to turn on the channels and the CSRs are cluless when you call and compain! after 4 years of being with verizon their customer service relations  employees still think that the NBA CHANNEL IS THE NBA LEAGUE PASS!!!!

  • My apple tv will not authenticate my nba league pass login--I am in the United States and the same login/pw works for my iPad, but not for apple tv.

    My NBA League Pass login cannot be authenticated -- I am in the United States and the same league pass name and password are working for my iPad, but not for my apple tv.

    I have this same issue and am becoming quite upset. NBA has absolutely no contact information to call and resolve this issue. I just spent $139.99 and cannot connect to Apple TV, while the same login works just fine on my iMac and iPad. When I signed up, the information provided indicated that I could view live games on Apple TV. What the ****?

    Is that the same as my email adress or my password, or my account name or my screen name?

  • Why is NBA TV not offered with NBA League Pass?

    I was sort of upset to hear that NBA TV is in fact not included with NBA League Pass. Everywhere I read said that it was and two verizon reps. told me it was until finally I reached tech. support and they said it wasn't. When I had direcTV and Comcast, NBA TV was infact bundled with league pass. Does anyone know what the cheapest possible way to get NBA TV would be? (i.e. cheapest package.)?
    Thanks.

    I think the lowest price package with nba tv is the exterme pack.,maybe you should call or email some one at nba tv, because i also remember when i was with directv i got nba tv with the nba league pass, because i didnt have the package it came with ,but at the end of the season directv would remove nba tv,Then when the season started they would automatically add it again.It sucks that verizon makes you pay extra to get because i think nba tv is included with nba  league pass. go to nba .com and check it out i thought read somewhere on there website a while back that nba tv is included!

  • NBA League Pass

    So im trying to watch the nba league pass on my apple tv and it seems to be buggy. 1st off why is it when I try to switch between games that it starts back at the beginning of the game. Why doesnt it either pick back up where I left off or back to live action. 2nd, how come there isnt a option to view more then one game at a time like it is on the computer? 3rd, maybe this is a nba decision but why is some games audio only? Who the **** wants to listen to a game when you can watch it. I dont want to hear about Kobe or Lebron scoring 30 points, I want to see him do it!!! 3rd how come there isnt a option to view more then one game at a time.

    NBA blackout rules may be the problem or at least I consider them a major problem. The rules apply to all versions: Apple TV, computer version, and mobile for iOS devices. The NBA should make this much clearer!
    This appears to be the case: they will demand your location and use it to blackout any games that are being televised locally including cable (espn, tnt, etc.). This pretty much does away with the possible use to "cable cut".
    I'd like to use my iPad to watch games while also watching tv with the wife (she doesn't watch sports). Would pay for this but most of the games I'm interested in would be blacked out: local team and one other team that is often on national cable channels.
    Believe most folks assume "blackout" applies to the home team that doesn't sell out that game. This has been the rule for over the air broad casts of nfl games. NBA expands on that significantly.

  • NBA League Pass/NHL GameCenter?

    I'm getting an Apple TV soon and I was wondering if you can get NBA League Pass or NHL GameCenter on the UK TV?
    And if you can, are there any restrictions, e.g. can't watch full games/live?
    Thanks.

    I agree i wish every game was in HD like directv does plus directv gives you home and away feeds of every game,which is why i will probably go back to dirctv next  year for! but i am hpoing verizon will do this next year,as far as channel 1450 goes it should be in HD,the last few games i watched were  on 1454so i havent checked 1450,but it definitly should be in HD!.

  • Request for NBA League Pass HD selections

    So youu're only going to use 5 HD channels for NBA League Pass ... any chance of aloocating them to the night's best games, rather than just the first 5 that start?  Too often fans are stuck watching the same East Coast teams in HD and only able to see the best West Coast teams in SD.

    Personally  i dont see why they cant do both, show an east coast game that starts at 4:30 p.m. and ends at 7:00 p.m.,then use the same HD channel for the west coast game that starts at 7:30 p.m.  BETTER YET HOW ABOUT GIVING US EVERY GAME IN HD !!! NOW THAT BASEBALL SEASON IS OVER  NOW!!!!! WHY does verizon give NHL hockey and MLB ( HD channels and the NBA ONLY 5 HD channels? .

  • Can't watch NBA League Pass on WiFi

    I am experiencing the following with NBA League Pass:
    1) On TV: I can watch all teams.
    2) On my iPad and iPhone with AT&T cellular data: I can watch all teams.  But this is too expensive, as one game will eat up 3 Gigs of data.
    3) On my computer, iPad, and iPhone with WiFi from Time Warner cable Internet: I can't watch my favorite team.  I can watch all of the 29 other teams, but not the only team I care about.  And that one team is 2,000 miles from where I live, and so it is not my local team and therefore it should not be blacked out -- but it is for all live and archived games. 
    4) A Time Warner technician came to my home today and found that if I hook up my computer and Time Warner router directly to Ethernet, I can watch my favorite team on my computer.  But this is not a solution, because then I don't have WiFi at all for anything.  The technician said the problem is with my Apple Airport Express WiFi device because it is somehow blocking my favorite team and he suggested calling Apple, but my Airport Express is just now out of warranty.  He also said I could purchase a new Airport Express.
    I work late and many times there is another team that plays on my team's channel for a later game, and so I need to be able to watch archived games on my computer or iPad with WiFi.  I know that games are not available for two hours after they are played, but for me all of my team's archived games are blocked for the entire season when I try to use WiFi.
    NBA League Pass said the problem is with Time Warner and claimed that the proof of that is that I can watch NBA League Pass games on my iPad and iPhone using AT&T cellular data -- and so that narrowed down the problem to WiFi from Time Warner cable Internet.  I can toggle back and forth from cellular data and see the game, and then to WiFi but the same game is blacked out.  I am not using a VPN that masks my location, but NBA League Pass said there is something about my WiFi that is misreporting my location.  I tried using NBA League Pass' tool that checks my IP address location, and it shows that it is local to my area as it should.  NBA League Pass said that when someone moves there is often a problem, and I did move six weeks ago 30 miles to a new Time Warner zone.
    This is frustrating because I spent $189 for NBA League Pass to watch my favorite team but can't watch many of its games.  I am also concerned that next season the same problem will occur and I won't be able to watch my favorite team on WiFi.
    I am getting 33 Mbps speeds on my computer and about 27 Mbps on my Ipad with WiFi, so the speed is okay.
    I am seeking help from anyone who knows how to fix this problem with watching NBA League Pass on WiFi.  Should I buy another AirPort Express (I just bought one three months ago)?  Should I dump Time Warner and go to Verizon FIOS?  Or is there a setting I can change that would solve this problem?  Thank you in advance.

    The answer is at the Apple customer support site.
