For what it's worth the fiostv twitter guy has now said FSCHD is #3 on their to-do list.
Didn't say what the 2 ahead of it are, but there you go. So, we'll have it sooner or later.
Been waiting 8-9 Months. **USED** to think Verizon FIOS was the best.
Not anymore. ALL other providers have Fox Soccer Channel in actual HD, and FIOS has dragged their feet for 9 months. There are dozen of worthless HD channels (Wealth TV anyone?), and they can't bring soccer (the worlds most popular game) to HD? Even just one channel. They are the worst. I keep checking into see when my contract is up to see if I can switch out to comcast or dish.... FIOS is a huge disappointment.
Yes, bring FSC HD already, come on Verizon...don't know about others but in my area FSC SD looks actualy worse than most other SD channels...it's pretty much unwatchable on a larger LCD panel...this is really lame at this point..might have to re-think my providers if nothing is getting done soon.
It's an outrage that the most popular sport in the world cannot be seen in FSC, FSC+ or GOLTV in HD on FIOS when they claim to be an industry leader. It's especially exasperating when watching a soccer match and the network is proudly displaying "HD" as part of its logo, but Verizon can't seem to make it actually happen. One would have hoped that with ESPN2 regularly broadcasting EPL matches in HD, that Verizon would get the hint. If something doesn't happen soon, I'm gonna jump ship.
Well I think there is no reason to be frustrated anymore. It seems that everything is moving according to plan at Verizon. I still don't understand why most of the information is kept secret but based on what I get from Joe on Twitter. FSC HD is#2 on the list to be added and GOLTV HD is in the next group of 6. If I understand it correctly it will be at some point in Q1. FSC+ HD is not in the immediate plans so we will still have to put up with it in SD and pay 14.99. Funny thing is that I noticed that both Cablevision and Time Warner in New York area offer FSC+ as part of their sports pack package and charge in the range of $7 for the pack that includes all the other sport channels similar to FIOS sports pack so I am not sure why we are still paying 14.99 for it.
As upsetting as it is to wait so long for our channels I think we have to realize that FIOS stands out from the rest by offering cutting edge technology and they continue to invest and roll out new things all the time which slows down on the new channel availability.
Hope you are right about getting FSC-HD in first quarter. I won't hold my breath. My father-in-law in Fla. gets FS+ in HD. He pays $3 per month.
Fox Soccer in Q1? I kinda doubt it. There is so much garbage in HD I find it laughable that the World's most popular game gets this kind of treatment. Imagine the uproar if Wealth HD got bumped in favor of Fox Soccer. Criminal to charge 15 bucks for + when Dolan only extracts 7 bucks for the same. And they throw in Gol as well. Let's go Verizon.
