FOx Soccer will be available in HD starting in March. Please add!
pgsimons,
While there do not appear to be any short term plans to add Fox Soccer HD, I can assure you that the folks who are in charge of TV content are CONSTANTLY working with channel providers to add new and exciting content to our FiOS TV package. I know that there have been many requests to add this channel come launch and that the good folks at Verizon will everything they can to add it. I will keep you posted if/when any information crosses my desk!
Regards,
Chris
Yes, please add this HD feed when it launches!
If you switch to cablevision they carry hd for fox soccer channel and fox channel plus

I just left Cablevision and while I didn't have FS Plus I can tell you that FSC was NOT in HD as of 2 weeks ago.
I dropped FiOS TV yesterday (still have FiOS internet). I have TWC for TV now and I get FSC, FS+, and GOLTV in HD. As soon as FiOS adds FSC and FS+ I'll be back.
Still nothing from VZ??
still nothing? feels like i'm watching internet tv. Verizon please upgrade this to HD asap!
Thanks, Christian, for your repsonse, I do appreciate your taking the time. Is there some mechansim for organizing support for FSC HD? CAn petitions be submitted? Can other people be contacted directly? Please let us know. We've been waiting for FSC HD for a long time and now that it's avaialable, it will be a key criteria in sourcing service.

I, also, want to drive the effort to add FOX SOCCER CHANNEL HD to the FIOS lineup. I know there is a LARGE audience out there waiting to watch soccer in HD. PLEASE, have it available on 3/1/10! Bob
pgsimons.
Truth be told, there is no official way and in the past the best course of action has been to just call both the service and channel providers and voice your opinion that way. However, I can pass the message along to management so that we make sure it goes through the proper channels. I've actually already done that and will be sure to keep my ear to the ground and if I hear anything I will let you all know.

Hello, Just wanted get in on this subject of Fox Soccer Channel going HD in March, Im a big soccer fan and watch most of it on FSC, and like the other fans on here, have been waiting for this HD move for quiet some time, so i'm hoping for some good news on this asap, and at the same time i'd like to add that Fox Soccer Plus is to be launched on the same day, so if this helps in the effort to get it on the air then great , after all, if its not in HD then it can't truly be the beautiful game. Any way hopefuly we can get the ball roling on this. Hope you could help. Fan
Yes, it is time for Verizon to step up and add FSC HD on 3/1/10! Now, we only get 1 soccer match televised in HD (English Premier on ESPN2), and in HD, it truly is "the beautiful game". I also hope there is a way for FSC/ESPN2 to televise some of the upcoming Champions League matches in HD. Of course, we all are looking forward to ESPN's complete coverage (in HD?), of this year's World Cup this June! Bob
I just found out about the Fox Soccer but was really disappointed to know that it is not available in hd on FIOS. Does Verizon really want to lead and serve the customers? World cup is here and I would love to see ESPN and Fox really competing for the crowd.
There is no competition for crowds between FSC and ESPN for the World Cup. ESPN/ABC family are the only ones who can show games in the US. They have exclusive rights in the United States.
I would also like to request that Verizon pick up FSC HD and Fox Soccer Plus. I currently subscribe to Setanta and will be canceling my subscription March 1 when the EPL etc is no longer shown. According to Fox, Time Warner Cable will be offering both channels (I live in Dallas) and I will swap to their service if I have to (I also called and they confirmed that they will be offering FSP but the price wasn't decided yet) - although I would prefer not to. I am happy to pay extra for Fox Soccer Plus (similar to Setanta at $14.99) and would expect FSC HD to be included in the Extreme HD package which I already subscribe to). I have sent an email through the 'request a channel' service and called Verizon customer service. I really hope Verizon picks up both channels as I don't want to change provider (I have TV, internet, and phone service with Verizon) BUT I love watching soccer (I am English) and will cancel my subscription (I am outside the 12 month period) if Verizon don't offer it March 1st. I appreciate you passing on my comments to the people who make the decisions regarding programming.
Fox soccer channel in HD is over due, we pay premium for HD we deserve it. Why are we always behind Europe in technology,
SKY TV AND SETANTA have already supplied the games in HD so Verizon needs to wake up and add FSC & FSC+ TO HD CHANNELS. its the beautiful game so lets see it that way.
Ever since Fox Soccer HD logo has appeared on the screen here the picture has deteriorated a little in my opinion. I need to watch soccer badly and with all other sports available in Hi Def I don't get why we have to be left behind with this. I also have Fox Soccer Plus and same deal with pic there. I'm not sure if it's just my imagination but the picture if very poor on the big screen especially. I have seen another nameless provider supply the picture and only for your fast internet speed I'm sorry to say I'd be long gone. Just posting to get the updates on when this happens as come World Cup time I won't care about my internet speed at all.
FSC has been saying that HD is coming in January. These posts mention March. Did I miss something? Either way I am also very hopeful that FIOS steps up and offers this programming with the Extreme HD package.
You bring up an interesting point...where will FSC-HD (or any new HD channels) actually end up? One might have to subscribe to a high-priced package (such as Ultimate HD) to get them.
a new HD channell can easily be added to the Extreme Package lineup, but it appears that only the Fox Soccer HD Plus channel might qualify as a premium tier, not FSC HD. Let's hope we get FSC HD at the least! Bob
