Please add the channels beIN Sports 1 & 2 to FiOS

Status: Launched
by remodb on ‎05-23-2012 10:21 AM

Fox Soccer Channel has lost the rights to broadcast football (soccer) games from top European leagues La Liga (Spain) and Serie A (Italy). Al Jazeera Sports Network has won the rights to broadcast those games for the 2012-2013 seasons onward. They will broadcast the games on their sports channels beIN Sports 1 and beIN Sports 2 which are currently not part of your FiOS channel lineup. 

 

Unless Verizon adds these channels to their FiOS lineup, Verizon customers in North America will be unable to see any games from La Liga and Serie A. The games won't be available online through legal channels either. This means that Verizon customers will have no access to games from such high profile teams such as Real Madrid, Barcelona, AC Milan, etc. 

 

Please add beIN Sports 1 and beIN Sports 2 to the FiOS channel lineup. 

Status: Launched

It's Here! I'm overjoyed and you will be too! beIN sports is here!

Here are some of the details from our FiOS TV team:

 

beIN SPORT HD and beIN SPORT en Español HD are available today to FiOS TV customers in Florida, Texas, California and the Pittsburgh area, and will continue to launch in other FiOS TV markets in the coming days and weeks. All FiOS TV customers will have access to both channels by mid-April.

 

FiOS TV customers will find beIN SPORT HD on channel 598 and beIN SPORT en Español HD on channel 1598. beIN SPORT HD is included in the Ultimate HD package and beIN SPORT en Español is included with La Conexion and the Spanish-language TV package.

 

Find out the rest of the details here.

 

Enjoy!

Why doesn't FIOS offer Fox Soccer Channel and Fox SoccerChannel Plus in HD??

 

Status: Launched
Fox Soccer Channel launches this week for most of our customers. GOL TV is the next HD channel for soccer, but there will be other channels turned on before GOL TV is available.

How about the NASA channel

Status: Accepted
by All Star prisaz All Star on ‎10-08-2010 07:42 PM

How about the NASA channel(s). That one is free and you do not have to fight over rights to air it. It has only been asked for like the past three years.

Status: Accepted
It is in the content queue, but lower priority

Cartoon Network HD, Funimation HD,

Status: Already Exists
by HDGuy on ‎10-08-2010 07:06 AM - last edited on ‎10-25-2012 05:57 AM by Moderator

Since BBC-HD has already been asked for I'll as for some more. I have the Ultimate HD package and have little interest in sports, yet that seems to be all we're getting as far as new channels these days.

 

Cartoon Network HD has tons of new HD programing, the Brave and the Bold, Sym-Bionic Titan, etc.

 

Since Funimation switched over to HD, FIOS now streams the HD channel downconverted on the SD channel and it looks terrible. The resulting picture is either 4:3 letterboxed, or even worse, for 4:3 programming we have a postage stamp sized picture. It's virtually unwatchable. Please add them as a full HD channel ASAP.

 

Thanks for listening.

Status: Already Exists
Cartoon Network HD already exist. Funimation is Not Likely to return.

HD Channels and improved features?

Right now, FiOS shows actors names that are in the movies, however I think they should add the commentators names that are broadcasting the sports event. Also include the sideline reports names.

 

Another thing is adding more HD channels:

 

  • FiOS1 HD
  • Bloomberg Television HD
  • CBS Sports Network HD
  • CNBC HD
  • CNN Headline News HD
  • CNN International News HD
  • E! HD
  • ESPN CLS HD (ESPN Classic HD)
  • FearNet HD
  • Fuel HD
  • HLN HD (Headlines HD)
  • G4 HD
  • MTV 2 HD
  • MTV Hits HD
  • NECN HD
  • NESN Plus HD
  • Nickelodeon 2 HD
  • Nick Jr. HD
  • SNY HD
  • Style HD
  • TV One HD
THE ONLY WAY THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN IS IF YOU VOTE!!! SO PLEASE VOTE!!!

also duplicate for several

I would like to see FiOS TV drop the SD version of any stations that are available in HD. It is a waste of coax bandwidth to have both SD and HD versions of the same station. As for customers that still have SD displays, in my experience I have not had issues viewing the HD channels on an SD display.

The highest volume boxes out there are 2500's... so while I concur.... there are a couple million viewers that wouldn't at this point

The PAC-12 conference (formerly the PAC-10) just announced that they will be launching their own network (similar to the Big Ten network already on Fios) in August of 2012 for the start of the 2012 college football season and will be broadcasting a significant chunk of conference football and men's basketball games on this channel, as well as other sports involving conference members.  FIOS needs to be on the ball on this and be ready to add this in HD as soon as it launches in August 2012.

FIOS just dropped Tennis Channel.  Therefore, I will drop FIOS.  Seems fair.

 

(Yes, I know Verizon and Cablevision and possibly other cable companies have an issue with which packages will cover TC.  I don't care.)

24 Hour Cricket Channel

Status: Acknowledged
by pamu77 ‎11-27-2010 05:50 AM - edited ‎11-27-2010 06:08 AM

Hi, I just got an email from "Willow TV" that they have started a 24 hour cricket channel on Dish Network and Direct TV. This will be the most desirable channel for millions and millions of south east asia cricket fans especially since almost ALL the cricket action around the world is shown on "Willow TV". This includes the "Indian Premier League" played every year and followed by milions. Additionally, the "Cricket World Cup" is coming up in Feb/March 2011 where all the top cricket nations of the world will be participating. Can this channel be added to Verizon Fios line up as a subscription channel or as part of the south indian channels package? Thanks.

New DVR with more than two tuners.

Having more storage would be great, but conflicting record times and recording two while watching a third would be good. Provide a good DVR with more than two tuners, and an option for existing customers to upgrade to this DVR. I would pay $20 a moth for this but not the existing HM-DVR.

Remove VOD adds from channels line up in the guide.

Status: Acknowledged
by All Star prisaz All Star ‎12-20-2011 04:20 PM - edited ‎12-20-2011 04:41 PM

Favorites or not, Subscribed or not. Putting this marketing trash in your face type stuff in the channel line up is just plain wrong. I see enough of it as the first thing that pops up when I press menu. I agree there is a VOD button on the remote, also a menu for VOD. Get the trash out of our line up! YES I DO FEEL STRONGLY ABOUT THIS TOO. How about filling those spaces with more HD channels. Other providers have passed Verizon on the national channel lineup front. And we have FiOS what a shame.

 

It is like when you walk into a store and you can't keep a sales agent off your back. That doesn't happen as much now days because many places you can't find help when you want to buy things. Verizon is #1 in marketing I will give them that.

 

PS.

Even with using the subscribed channels feature in 1.9, the VOD advertisement channels pop up between the subscribed channels in the guide. So if you only want to see your subscribed channels, you still must put up with the marketing. VOD are not subscribed channels, unless you are only going to show us free stuff that we can view.

Status: Acknowledged
we have many requests to make new and popular VOD offerings more easily found. this is a mechanism for doing that. we will take back that we need to do some work around visibility settings, which is fair comment. Its probably unrealistic to expect that the program guide will not continue to evolve ove rsome period of time into a mixed navigation/merchandising environment. Your feedback on how to manage that so we are meeting the needs of everyone involved are important to us. For instance, we would not necessarily grok the importance of things like visibilty settings on this sort of content without your feedback, so thanks for surfacing it as an issue that we need to address.

HD Programming or Channel Vote Board

Status: Maybe Later
by All Star prisaz All Star ‎08-09-2010 09:32 AM - edited ‎09-24-2010 03:55 PM

Programming Vote Board like this board, but different.

 

No comments allowed.

 

Only Votes with a restriction to the posts message body size. Limiting the body to a brief description of the channel.

 

No duplicate channel requests. If you want a channel, vote for it.

 

This could weed out the many repeat posts on the Programming board, and help track who wants what.

 

Think this is a good idea? Vote for it.

I will commit to publishing a blog post that aggregrates this information... and we will evaluate building this web app in early 2011

Sports Package should include GolTV HD, ESPD Deportes HD, FSC + HD, FSW HD, YES HD

Other providers are offering GolTV HD and ESPN Deportes in HD, when will Verizon offer these in HD.  I am paying well over $100 mostly just to get to the soccer broadcasts and I missing out on all the HD games.  

Several channels now broadcast good soccer games, e.g. ESPN's HD, FSW HD.  But the main channels are Fox Soccer Channel, GolTV, and ESPN Deportes, which verizon does not offer in HD.  If verizon were to offer these in HD consider not pricing so high, e.g. FSW+ now at $15 even in HD is too high if you consider that the customer already has Ultimate FIOS.  So come up with some creative combinations, e.g. Extreme HD plus the above.

And keep in mind that GolTV and ESPN Deportes should be available without having to subscribe to the Spanish Package.

Thank you for that input. It has been passed along to the appropriate department.
