1st posted on DBSTalk.com (the source for Satellite info) at 4:30 PM by a DirecTV 'insider' (who remains anonymous, but has never to the best of my knowledge been wrong) that it would be back "later today". I just flipped it on (6:15 PM EDT) and indeed, VERSUS-HD is there and running.
According to the brief - nothing has changed - it will remain in the same tiers/packages as before.
Just in time to watch the Rangers play Montreal tomorrow - and back for the playoffs!
I'm sure we'll see a press release at some point from the involved parties - I'll edit this with links when they're available.

No Problem Jim!
This is a big enough deal in Ranger-land – with so many of us being DirecTV subs and missing all those games…..
My ‘public service announcement’ for the week. :-D

Yeah, should be some decent fights. That Jones – Vera fight should be pretty good.

“Just in time to watch the Rangers play Montreal tomorrow – and back for the playoffs!”
Ugh, does this mean we have to listen to Joe Benininininatti all night long?
I wonder if they'll want my refund back?
I complained to Directv earlier in the season and they refunded 1/2 my Center Ice fee. Imagine how peeved I was when I learned some buddies were refunded the ENTIRE fee.
Screw Directv, Comcast and the NHL.
Still can not watch MSG HD for Rangers, Islanders, Devils and Sabres for ANY GAME due to blackouts by the NHL for the entire country except the tri state area.
After watching another pathetic performance at home, I almost wish Versus was still blacked out
Why pay extra for a sports package and extra for NHL Center Ice, but still forced to watch games WITHOUT HD?
