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

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.

***Fingers Crossed***

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

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
