My question (I'm sorry if I seem dumb) but what channels do I get for free with the new TV pack and which ones do I have to pay for? I can't seem to get a straight answer regarding this. My understanding is that I get Sprint TV Premier for free but have to pay for everything else. I do not have channel 01 (do not know the name), like other have & channel 09 (Sprint TV Live) is $9.99/mo. Please help!

This thread is effectively a pack of lies.

Power Vision is still all goofed up. It provides almost no useful channels at all, even though Sprint is continuing to charge us full price.

I have Power Vision Ultimate, and almost all useful channels have been gone since April 1. About a week ago, Fox News appeared, but nothing else useful.

Please tell us which Sprint executive has been fired for his gross incompetence in announcing a new TV system that doesn't work, while disassembling the old one that did work and continuing to charge customers full price for service they are not getting.

Are you getting CNN, Fox Sports, etc.? Those were the new channels promised on our Sprint bills, but I haven't seen hide nor hair of them. It's been 3 weeks now.

I've had them since 4/16, do you have a fee to use Telenav (if you you have a nav capable phone)

I have the Upstage (m620), still do not see any of the Channels besides the crappy free ones such as Broadway Channel, 24 Preview, 1 min Accuweather, etc... None of the other ones like CNN, E!, Fox, etc...

I have the $20 PV Plus Pack.

maybe its is a radio pack, my thing is nav issue. are they going to fix this so we don't have to pay to get so we don't have to worry about them messing up the nav credit ( which I believe will eventually happen)

Something that I still do not understand, nor could the rep answer when i call, does the TV pack come with clips or a live version of cartoon network?

Some places they say clips, but alot of the time they do not specify.

Thank you

Question for those who actually have it:

Are any of the TV or Radio stations live?

For example, foxsports, do you get the local baseball game live? For CNN do you get live coverage of breaking events same as cable?

I gather sprint - despite spending billions on EV-DO rollout and hours of negotiations with content providers - still does not have:

- any live football games (despite having Sirius through 2 seasons now)
- any live baseball games (we can only hope that will happen after the Sirius/XM merger ;) )
- any local auto traffic stations or info (other than what can be pulled up thru the browser)

Maybe some day the beancounter and geeks who run the shop will figure out that there are millions of fans who all have phones and would probably pay for content that they could view during their commutes, lunch breaks, etc. But I'm not holding my breath as they seem to be focused on the kids market or trying to compete for blackberry business customers.

P.S. Yes I am aware of the NFL Mobile app, I used it last year - I guess it's better than nothing but rather cumbersome and the play-by-play function is not even close to a live broadcast.

The NFL network shows hands but probably not during your commute, and there are sports radio channels and live radio stations around the country available
