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?

see the other FCD HD thread. It is like 10 pages long now.   We are all frustrated FIOS subscribers who want FSC HD.  It does appear we are moving toward it.  Time-Warner apparently is adding it soon.  Keep up the pressure!    Bob

I sent a couple of tweets to Verizon and FiosTV today. It doesn't hurt to keep bugging them! Smiley Happy

Verizon is really dropping the ball on this... I pay over $300 and i think they completely ignore these forums.... they dont give any news.. nothing. silence. The demand for FSC in HD is HUGE !!!!!!!  come on, Verizon, what is the freaking hold up??? you have Wealth Tv in HD (and other complete crap in HD.  I mean Fishing?  unreal).

  get rid of that and replace it with the worlds most popular sport.

I've noticed a "FSC HD" on the screen when I'm watching Channel 84, but nothing is in HD.  Could did just mean that it is close? 

I'm really hoping that we get it.  I've been wanting FSC HD for years.

A lot of Verizon FiOS loyal customers are waiting to hear the good news about FSC HD and FSC Plus. So, any technician and/or management team person of Verizon should have some words about this. Plzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...

So apparently Verizon does carry FSC+, though it's subscription only at this point:  Sports Subscription Packages.

But $14.99 is way too steep for me.

I'm already paying an additional $9.99 to get GolTV.

Why don't they make a soccer package!  I'm not going to pay $14.99 in addition to the $9.99, but I might pay $14.99 for all soccer channels....

Has anyone heard when if FIOS going to add Fox Soccer in High Definition?  The channel has been available for some time now I think.  I'm told by Verizon they watch these blogs, really the only way to "register" a vote for them to add it.  Please register your vote, and get others to do so... No offense to any anglers, but I think there may be more fishing shown in high definition!

I'm convicned that Verizon are about to find a way to completely screw the consumer (again!).  After the WC, I suspect that FSC and Fox Soccer Plus will become their own add-on package for the wonderful price of $29.99 a month.  Only THEN will they actually make the HD programming available.  After all - why give away a HD channel for "free" as part of the sports package when you can bundle it with another offering and double your money by making the customer pay for the Sports package AND the Soccer package ...

For those  complaining about FSC, you have to remember a couple things. 1) Despite the outside soccer sites that are posting links to the Verizon board and telling people to come here and request it, soccer, while it does have many fans, is nowhere near as popular in the U.S. as baseball, football, etc. etc.  2) Fox is a rip-off and overcharges.  Most likely, they want a premium price and may even not allow FSC unless FSC+ is included, at an even higher price for Verizon to carry. So...3) If Verizon did give Fox the high prices they most likely want for a niche channel...who should pay for it?  (Especially since they can probably add THREE other HD channel for what Fox may want for FSC.)  Fans of the more popular aforementioned sports?  (Which cost less to carry)  Or those who don't care about soccer and would never watch it?

Guys-

They are out of capacity right now - that is why there have not been any national HD additions this year.

MSNBC HD only made it because it took the spot of Red Zone.

Unless they start compressing more (like Comcast and everyone else) - there won't be many (or any) new channels until 2011, when IPTV will be tested.

There's no plot - but someone needs to tell the VZ Twitter guy to actually stop telling people that channels "are coming".

Well I recently swtiched from com{please keep your posts courteous} to FIOS hoping to get more since FIOS comes out to me as technologically way way more advance. but to my surprise there is no FSC HD or GOL TV HD. these are the only 2 source of soccer in the USA.. if they are talking about removing some HD channels before adding new ones, i suggest getting rid of OUTDOOR HD!!

Looks like people have been requesting FSC HD and FSC+ HD for a while now. I chatted with support today and they sent me to the forum to request it but it does not look like it is doing any good. I already pay a lot extra for FSC+ (non-HD). I think I may cancel it until they get it in HD.Since ESPN2 HD picked up a few more games i can catch them there. They look so much better that FSC does on verizon.

Hard to watch the low res and see the HD symbol in the corner the whole game. I don't want to pay more for it in HD either.

YOU GOTTA GO VOTE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE.  I think it's safe to say our wishes are falling on deaf ears.  Let's try to make them hear us!
