Fox Soccer in HD

[pgsimons]

FOx Soccer will be available in HD starting in March.  Please add!

I think you need to call and demand it!!! They don't have it scheduled, but they are "looking into it". I informed the operator Verizon is looking at a loss on the east coast......folks will change their providers to either Comcast or Dish, including myself. I'm giving them until next week....

[Weezknight]

Well it looks like Dish Network will be adding Fox Soccer HD on February 10th.  Only a week away.

I ditched Dish Network for FiOS, but, unless I hear that Verizon is adding this channel within the next few weeks, I guess it's back to Dish.

Yes, Verizon, I will vote with my wallet.

Another request to add FSC HD and FSC+ when it launches! FSC HD is out now, should be easy to add.

[maddog36]

Need to add FSC in HD and FSC+ in HD!  Sooner rather than later!

If you surf any of the cable/sattelite company forums you will see there is a LOT of demand out there to get FOX SOCCER CHANNEL HD added to their lineups.    I don't think that FIOS and other's realize the popularity of soccer, and whoever adds it will reap the benefits of subscriptions.   FIOS, you say you are the leader, show it and ADD IT NOW!

In August, Fox announced plans to deploy FSC HD in late December, then pushed back to January. It bemuses me that for all the preparation, Verizon does not have this in HD. Verizon should have had this scheduled already. If Comcast, Dish and Direct TV has it, I'm definitely switching providers, considering the only channel I really watch is FSC. I don't want to hear about March 1st......Deploy NOW!!!! Truly poor response on Verizon's and FSC's part.

FEBRUARY 16TH.   This should be the target date for FIOS to have FSC HD because this begins the round of 16 of the BEST club soccer competion in the world, the UEFA Champions League, and Fox Soccer Channel is carrying the games, some live some same- day delay.  DO YOU HEAR US FIOS????     If not broacasting FSC HD before that date, I am gone to Comcast.   Methinks FIOS has no idea of the power of the soccer fans in the world, and are ignorant to our pleas.  Will they be sorry when there is a mass exodus if they don't add FSC HD......

Well here I am watching FSC without an HD feed.  It kills me each time they flash the "FSC now in HD" across the bottom of the screen.  Verizon...please at least acknowledge, in some way, what your plans might be?  Where any possible negotiations are with FSC?  SOMETHING!  Thank you.

[nuttyirishman]

I just watched the Tottenham v Aston Villa game on FSC , channel 84 and it "appears" that feed is a combination of SD and HD.  It was defintley NOT true HD (i.e. ESPN2's derby this morning, Liverpool v. Everton), but it was better than the normal SD feed. Maybe FIOS received the HD ffed, but broadcast it in SD?   Anybody else watch?     Bob

If it makes anyone feel any better, Verizon usually stays silent for the most part about what channels they are close to adding. Even @fiostv on Twitter said "cannot confirm or deny" that FSC HD would be added. If there was no plan in place, I think they just wouldn't say anything.

As I found out recently, "grooming" a new channel into the lineup takes a while, so hopefully that's being done now. Verizon doesn't want its competitors to know what channels will be added, but unfortunately, that means we can't find out either.

Just throwing in another vote for FSC HD in time for the Champions League. Seems like a lot of people voting for this, so I feel pretty confident Verizon  is going to add it -- especially if Comcast already has it. 

Come on Verizon, prove me right! Get FSC HD now! 

[robbinsresort]

Lets blow up this thread and show Verizon how high the demand for FSC in HD is.

The sooner, the better!

[wjmooner]

I'd love to see more channels in HD (BBC America, E, G4 off the top of my head) but Fox Soccer Channel is the only channel that could make me switch providers from Verizon if the competition added the channel and Verizon did not.  Add another vote for FSC HD!

[Ginge]

DirecTV will have FSCHD starting Wednesday according to SI reporter Grant Wahl

[marchon]

Dear Verizon, let's get this going...Fox Soccer in HD is a must.  Please make it happen soonest.

[Ginge]

If you are a Twitter user, feel free to bombard @Verizon and @FiOSTV with your request for FSCHD

[pgsimons]

Another plea for Fos Soccer HD!!  Please add!!!!!!!

[Tideman]

This is the latest from the Verizon FiOS Twitter page from this morning "I promise y'all will be the first to know when we have news about FSC HD - just met with Fox yesterday if that helps." C'mon let's dot those i's and cross those t's Verizon!!

[phil02062]

YES VERIZON PLEASE ADD FOX SOCCER + AND FOX SOCCER HD!   GREAT SUCCESS!

[babawaya]

I'm shopping for another service provider that's offering fox soccer in HD. I'm thinking AT&T Uverse

From Twitter/FiOSTV this morning: Officially I can say - we understand the importance of soccer to our customers & we are in discussions w/ Fox to carry FSC HD about 4 hours ago from TweetDeck
