FSC HD and FSC+

Does anyone know whether FIOS will or already has Fox Soccer Channel available in HD? Also what about Fox Soccer Channel Plus (FSC+). Fox Sports is advertising availability of the FSC HD already and FSC+ is coming on March 1st. Will these channels be available on the FIOS lineup and when? Also if anyone has any estimates on the price for FSC+ if offered as a premium?

For a comapny as big as Verizon, they should have had it scheduled for deployment. Unless Fox is to blame here. They first announced they were going to deploy it way back in August, and I can't imagine they were would deploy it without negotiating with a top cable provider such as Verizon FIOS.

Hi there not sure if you are aware of this link http://forums.verizon.com/t5/FiOS-TV-Programming/Suggest-Channels-to-Add-to-FiOS-TV/td-p/57288.  It was created in order to see what our customers want as far as channels are concerned.  Just post on there your request for FSC HD.  The "right" people do look at this forum.  Unfortunately nothing is guaranteed.

Hope FSC HD is available soon on FIOS

Now the Comcast has added FSC HD, Verizon better respond, as MANY of us will make the switch just to see "The Beautiful Game", as it is suppose to be seen, in glourious HD!

My son told me the HD feed on Cablevision for Fox Soccer is actually better than the ESPN2 HD feed on the futbol games we can see. That's pretty good.

Maybe we could get Soccer in HD on the weekend and BET can get HD M-F? Works for me.

FSC in HD on Cablevision is the highest quality I've seen of any sports broadcast. The few games I've seen were amazing quality. (sigh....). I'd switch back, but the internet speed of FiOS is much faster. I actually get the 'advertised' speeds.

The only thing that is keeping me from switching back to cable is the fact the internet connection was awful. I would get bumped no less than 10 times a day and they couldn't find a way to make my connection work. Presently I have 1 TV for my cable HD soccer broadcasts but if this problem lasts past the end of Summer I will switch back to cable entirely hinky internet or not.

Do like me... I dumped FIOS TV in December because I was tired of waiting and tired of being left in the dark and switched to TWC for TV. I kept FIOS internet. I'm enjoying the beautiful game on 3 (FSC, FS+, GOLTV) HD channels. I'm paying a little more each month since neither service is bundled but I'm loving it. As soon as FIOS catches up and addes FSC HD AND FS+ HD I'll be back.

Don't agree with your choice of team (Blackburn fan here!) but I'm 100% with you on this, FSC is the only channel on my TV when the wife ain't watching it and i've already started looking at Dish and Direct.... Verizon, seriously, please don't mess this up, and let the soccer fans have what they crave!

Two concerns:

1.  I'm not watching FSC in HD.

2.  Verizon has decided to ignore the fact that FSC is now in HD.  Give us something.  "We are negotiating with FSC", "We will not be providing FSC HD", "We will launch on (insert date)"

Ginge, I feel your frustration but I just left D* for Fios. I would never go back. Fios is so much better! Give it some time, I think Vz. will step up to the plate and deliver FSC-HD.
