Request for Fuel TV HD

Status: Acknowledged
by jackl4 on ‎05-29-2012 07:33 AM

I am requesting that FIOS carry the HD version of Fuel TV. I know you are probably going to mark this as a duplicate and cast this request into http://forums.verizon.com/t5/Share-Your-Ideas-with-Verizon/HD-Channels-and-improved-features/idi-p/3...

 

PLEASE DO NOT DUMP MY REQUEST into that "catch-all"! There are many channels on that list and I want a request specifically for Fuel HD and here is why.

 

We watch racing on the standard definition Fuel TV and cannot even read the numbers on the vehicles to see who is in which place. The resolution is so poor, you can't even read the ticker on my 58" tv!

 

The sponsor's logos are unreadable due to the poor resolution. I have to believe they would want us watching the HD version of this channel so we could read which sponsors are which. Right now, there may as well not be any sponsors because all the signage can't be read.

 

I'd really like to be able to watch a race and see who is winning.

 

Thanks.

I second the request for Fuel TV HD and agree that this suggestion deserves its own page. Why bundle 20+ channels in one request?  Fuel TV has been around for nearly a decade and provides original content with high action that looks terriable in SD.

I am watching Motorcross in Fuel SD right now and it is horrible, grainy blurry mess! There is no reason that FIOS should not have FUEL HD!!!

This channel is also critical to enjoying the numerous UFC events available to customers.  Standard Definition definitely lessens the experience.

Please VZ add Fuel TV HD to the FiOS line up...

I concur with the user who commented on watching UFC fights. The quality is very poor, which is important for those of us who enjoy watching sports that require attention to detail (like combat sports). The FUEL TV YouTube channel has better quality content than Fuel TV in standard definition. On a work trip I noticed that it was available (in HD) in El Segundo, CA. I am a resident of Annapolis, MD. Thank you!!

If Verizon does not carry Fuel HD I will be switching to Brighthouse. They now have it.

Verizon definitely needs to carry FuelTV HD.

I have to admit. Ever since motocross went to Fuel TV for first motos and NBC sports HD for 2nd motos, it is very hard to watch half on SD and half on HD. Eventually I will have to switch providers because of this.

Need more votes for Fuel TV HD.  BBC America HD has tons of votes and it took almost 2 years for it to be added.  Looks like it was just added yesterday.
