I already get (pay for Extreme), so if FSC PLUS shows up there I would be happy. Of course I would also like to see FSC HD show up. Im a FIOS customer and would hope the best TV Service provider in the nation steps up to the plate and offers this on time, so I dont have to switch back to COMCAST.

PLEASE ADD FOX SOCCER PLUS  (and FOX Soccer HD) !!!!!!

many thanks,

I would also like to request that FSC HD (which I understand to be avaiable as of today, Jan. 28) be added to the lineup as soon as possible. I would like to further request that Fox Soccer Plus be made available upon its launch March 1st. Much of the content that I currently value on Setanta will be transferred to this new channel.

Thanks,

Craig

FSC HD went live today, 1/28...not on FIOS yet. FSC+ will be a new channel starting 3/1/10.

I would like to ask for Fox Soccer Plus channel - which goes live March 1st.  I understand the Barclays Premiership and other english soccer competitions are no longer going to be carried on Setanta Sports.  As such, I will be cancelling my suscription to Setanta (a premium channel) and would roll over to a subscription Fox Soccer Plus.  Please ask programming @ Verizon to make it happen.

yes, Verizon, 

Please Please

work to add FOX SOCCER PLUS  to the lineup in Severn MD.

  This is a life and death thing.   Please update us as to when we can expect this.

I have Verizon Cable simply to watch Fox Soccer Channel.

Box never moves from that channel.

This is worth switching providers to whom ever carries it.  Please add it as soon as you can.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE ADD FOX SOCCER HD!!

It went live yesterday and while I don't expect it today, I do expect it as soon as reasonable. We already have MLB HD, NFL HD etc. There's a strong demand for it! 

DO IT! If it doesn't come in HD by the time my TV contract expires, I'll be going back to DirecTV to get it.

I am also putting my vote in for FSCHD and Fox Soccer Plus. Here's hoping Fios steps up to the plate!

I would like to add my voice in encouraging Fios to carry both Fox Soccer Channel HD and the new Fox Soceer Plus channel which goes live March 1. I am a subscriber to Setanta Sports and when that channel goes away on February 28, some of the content is supposed to be carried on Fox Soccer Plus. I enjoy Setanta a lot and woul love for the new Fox channel to be added so I can continue to receive some of my favorite programming. I do not want to go back to Time Warner, but they have already announced they will be carrying Fox Soccer Plus so that may be one of several factors affecting my decision.

Thank you.

The HD logo is now on the regular FSC, so I would think Verizon could add the channel to the lineup fairly easily.  it's just a matter of them choosing to do it.  FSC Plus HD in March would be awesome as well.  C'mon Verizon, step up for us and bring us both FSC channels in HD!!!!!!!

Arsenal vs ManU tomorrow and it's going to be in HD however not for us- why do these companies drag their heels. come on verizon, get on with it- we will pay extra, we aren't like those saps at Time Warner- but if you don't get us our HD and time warner does, then I guess we are all going to switch back because we won't need setana anymore- come on lads, get a move on!!!!

I want to echo what many have requested in this thread.  We won't need Setanta anymore after February so I don't see the real reason not to add the two HD channels for FSC by March 1st.

It also stinks to know that Comcast over in DC has the FSC HD channel already.

I don't think it is just a matter of we won't "need" Setanta after February 28 or we will be cancelling our subscriptions at that time, it's that we won't have a choice. Setanta Sports USA stops broadcasting after that date and will cease to exist.

Fox Soccer Plus has acquired some of the rights to the programming from Setanta. So we will be losing some of what we are able to watch now unless Fios picks up Fox Soccer Plus on March 1 when it goes live which would seem like a natural option (but I am sure there is more to it than that). Obviously channel 1009 will become free on March 1.

Fox Soccer Channel HD is another matter. Apparently they began broadcasting in HD this weekend so that would ne more of an immediate need. There are many, many folks on soccer boards all across the country who are peppering their providers for both FS+ and FSC HD, let's hope the Fios community picks it up.

Fox Soccer Channel in HD is a must-add.  From this thread and others it is very clear that a large number of customers really want this channel.  And considering you have HD channels devoted for tennis, golf, and hockey, it only makes sense to add soccer.

Do the right thing.

Very simple one for me. Verizon's been dragging its feet on far too many channels we'd want in HD. Still no BBC America HD, for example. The move to HD soccer should have been clear by now and be openly on the agenda. It isn't. Providing something to make up for the loss of Setanta content should have been clear by now. It isn't.

We ditched Cox for failing to get the last World Cup in HD, so it won't be a problem to ditch Verizon and head for satellite if they don't get this sorted. As a customer, then, I'll just make it clear here that this is the kind of thing that historically has represented a dealbreaker for us and will do in no short order if there aren't clear announcements by mid-Feb

Didn't buy that expensive telly for nothing, chaps, and if you can't provide the content I most want to see on it, then I'll got to those who can. Very simple really.

PavelStrikes:  To be fair, you should know that NO carrier has FSC as of yet.  Not DISH,  DIRECT TV... no one.

No but Dish and DirecTV have made clear they will have it. And Comcast is already running it apparently.

Another voice requesting FSC in HD, and the new Fox Soccer + channel when it's available. I'm a Setanta subscriber as well so I'm going to need that content replaced!

Soccer is 95% of what I watch on TV so having these options available is critically important to me. Please Verizon, add these channels. Thanks.
