@fiostv on Twitter has said that they are actively negotiating for carriage of FSC HD. I guess agreeing on things like price, promotion, on demand content, etc is what's taking so long. Hopefully Verizon is able to actively get new channels groomed into the lineup while they negotiate. That way, they can turn it on as soon as a carriage agreement is in place.

So, it looks like FIOS is adding FS+ (replacing Setana ) as a PPV station, @ $14.95/month, BUT no mention of FSC HD being added. It figures that they want us futbol-fanatics to pay the extra for more SD soccer. I know I won't.....................

Speaking of more SD soccer, what happened to ESPN2's hi def coverage of La Liga on Sunday afternoons? It seems that since the new year, they have not aired their Spanish games on ESPN or ESPN2. Rather, they are only airing Premier League games on Sat morning. Everything else has been moved the ESPN-Deportes or ESPN360, neither of which are available in HD.
We definitely need more HD soccer, which means we need FSC-HD. One game per week will not cut it. (Well, occassionally some of us get two b/c Comcast SportsNet Mid-Atlantic somehow was airing FSC's hi def coverage of Champions League games the last two Tuesdays. They were airing LIVE the game FSC was showing tape delayed. But this does not help everyone. I know CSN-Philly was not airing UCL games, and who knows how much longer FSC will lease the rights to UCL games to CSN?)
We need FSC-HD. Before the season ends in May, preferably.

FSC HD is actually here now. However, it's not actually in HD. It's just a rebroadcast of FSC SD. Why is this?
I've just gotten off the phone with Verizon, and my channel package does have FSC HD (infact I just upgraded to Ultimate as well).
FSC HD and GOL TV HD are both here, but neither one is in HD.

FSC on 1522 is not the HD channel. It has been in that slot for a long time now. FSC HD will likely be channel 584, to mirror the SD version on channel 84.

The following news release is from Fox Soccer:
"Fox Soccer Channel, Fox Sports Net (FSN) and Fox Soccer Plus will feature blanket coverage of the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 second leg, with eight live and exclusive English-language match telecasts in high-definition from March 9 through 17."
Will FIOS step up and add FSC HD in time for these matches????

Here is another recent news release:
Fox Soccer ready for World Cup, HDTV
"Broadcast giant Fox is ramping up coverage for the upcoming World Cup and is finally making the plunge into high definition.
For soccer and โfootballโ fans in the U.S. and abroad, itโs about time. The worldโs most beautiful game rarely looks like it in old-fashioned standard definition. Faces are blurry and the grass looks dull green.
Only problem is, Dish Network is the sole cable or satellite operator in the U.S. to start showing Foxโs soccer programs in HD. Negotiations are still ongoing with carriers such as DirecTV, Time Warner Cable and VERIZON FIOS. The hope is that they will add Foxโs high-def soccer channels to their lineups very soon."
"Soon" is NOW! Add FSC HD.
