Is anyone in the Washington area with VHO4 getting CSN+ yet? The overflow programming starts on Saturday 10-10, and VHO9 in Richmond still has MASN2 (showing ESPNEWS forever and ever) on channel 1. Verizon carried CSN+ on VHO4 last year, but I don't think it was anywhere else. Since I know there's a carriage agreement in place, I'm hoping to see CSN+ arrive on VHO9 and VHO9a this year.

This is great news! According to the CSN website, CSN+ is channel 334 in Howard, Anne Arundel, and Baltimore Counties, as well as in the Tidewater and Richmond areas and it's on channel 1 in Fredericksburg, Charles, Montgomery, and Prince Georges Counties...

I've assembled some stats. Here they are.The following users have requested to be able to see the Caps on CSN+ in the "Suggest Channels" thread:Howard/AA Counties MDbkb 10/30scraff 11/04grackle6 11/06Padow 11/06devonwood 11/10chrsmi142 11/12caps81737 11/07 11/12jotot 11/13Preston16 11/13slacker 11/13PLEASEGiveMeCSN 11/13Howard_Co_Caps_ 11/13b1974 11/13wazlo21 11/13shaft103 11/21 Harford County MDBmoreCapsFan 11/04 & 23Virginia:elicea 11/14 Newport Newsannandaleva 11/16 Northern VABenjammin 11/21/09 RichmondCaps09 10/17 11/01 11/06 11/18, 11/21 Richmondno location given:joek443 11/06jsaint625 11/06eat1820 11/07hockeytool 11/21MoreCapsonTV 11/21levi1864 11/22That's 26 requests for CSN+ for Caps games between 10/30 and 11/22: 15 Howard/AA, 1 Harford, 4 VA, 6 no location given.Add to those the following requestors in the "Comcast Sportsnet Plus (DC)" thread who have not posted in the "Suggest Channels" thread.capsfan78 AA County, 11/06gdw10 AA County, 11/06Terps1984 AA County, 11/11cparks AA County, 11/12hockeygene PG County, 11/14spbbp09 Howard County 11/14The grand total is 32 requests for CSN+ in the MD and VA suburbs made by Caps fans since 10/30/2009.

Well, in the short time I've had Fios I've found that 1) ny in-home PC network no longer works right (their solution is to hook p my old router to their router), and now 2) I'm missing watching the Caps because Verizon isn't offering CSN+. I just got off the phone with them (after 15 mi of having my ear blasted with some music being played at a volume so loud, my phone was vibrating on the table) only to be told "oh well, sorry"I was a Comcast customer as well, and I would have no problem going back if channels I had before aren't made available. C'mon Verizon .. fix this.

I am starting to wonder if Verizon even cares about their customers request for this. A reply from them like "We are looking into it" sure would be nice.Verizon your silence is deafening.

about the only way to request a channel that is not currently carried by Verizon. Is to post it here. Most of the people that you talk to on the phone will have no way to submit your request. Especially those guys in the "fiber solution center". they are tech support and dont have access to any ordering or request systems. If you are supposed to get it, and dont, they can fix it (ok no rubs from the peanut gallery here) but they cant request new content. And most of the people at the orders department, dont even know the channels they already carry let alone ones that they dont. The guys here on the board are above average. They dont get paid to be here but they still visit and help out of the goodness of their hearts and most seem to be really up on their game. So the post you made here about the channel will get up the chain eventually and slowly but it will go. But even then, dont hold your breath, Verizon is very slow at adding more channels. Even the ones with a huge request (I.E. BBC America HD). But rest assured has been requested on your behalf.

Kudos to Joe Ambeault, who posts as @fiostv on Twitter. He has been the only source of good news on this thread.Boooos to Comcast Sportsnet, who continued to stick with a grainy part-time overflow feed, even after they knew how MASN2 was able to get things fixed (a couple years ago) and work with every provider. Boooos also go out to those at Verizon who have tried to sluff us off and give the old "maybe next year" response. FiOS is the biggest and best new multichannel product out there, and you need to realize that your customers expect responsiveness when they pay big bucks for it every month. For some reason, Verizon has decided that they want to work behind a veil of secrecy, and there will be no way to contact them directly by e-mail or phone for customers to inquire about or request a new channel. The company's silence on this board makes things that much worse.I hope that the channel arrives soon, so I can finally mark this thread as "solved".

Come on Verizon, a little communication goes a long way. If it's going to take another two weeks, tell us that. If we're looking at some long, drawn-out "solution" then be straight with us about that. When you claim to be the best and have a premium priced product, then you need to deliver.

Apparently, the plumbing isn't fixed yet, so no Caps-Oilers game tonight....unless someone has heard something else...I'll just start digging out--then, maybe by the spring, the CSN+ plumbing will be fixed...

Once again, I want to express my thanks to Mike Holden for blogging on this subject. Here's his latest-http://mikeholden.wordpress.com/2009/12/05/caps-wizards-fans-verizon-fios-has-solution-for-the-over-flow-games/This is the most promising one I've seen so far!

Remaining schedule - half of the Capitals' games scheduled to air on CSN+ are behind us.Yay!However, we have six more left to endure:Dec. 12 & 19Jan 5, 12, and 26Feb. 5The Wizards, on the other hand, have 12 of their 14 scheduled CSN+ games in front of them including 3 in a row on Dec. 23, 26, and 28. I suspect we might see more posts here from Wizards fans at about that time.

Thank you Mike Holden and Verizon! I know it is late for this year but at least we have it for next year.
