Fox Soccer in HD

Not many find their way into these forums (I know I had a hard time myself) and some just don't bother after a little trying.

Some also aren't just the complaining type. And some don't speak English all that well to do complaining in forums. Some do their complaining/requesting via phone (some of whom probably get tired of waiting for operators as FIOS is known for long lines on their customer service phones) etc etc.

If they don't get what they want/like they will simply switch service provider quietly (either as soon as possible or once their contract run out) as it happens regularly with most companies. You can be sure of that.

By the way, Fios had the chance to steal two of my friends from Time Warner. As I've said once before in this forum they were waiting to see which service provider will offer FSC in HD. With Time Warner already getting this channel few days ago, sad to say they are not switching anymore. The few dollars they'll save they said won't be worth all the trouble. That cost me $100 bucks in referral money as well. 😞

Count me in!  Hopefully the upcoming World Cup will bring attention to the overall popularity of soccer to Verizon and they'll pull the trigger on giving us this channel in HD.

I personally know of at least 4 people who dropped Time-Warner and switched to Verizon, because TW dropped HDNet Movies, so it balances out, I guess.  At least Verizon has not eliminated channels that people want which have been available in their line-up already. That's more than one can say about TWC.

Please bring FOX SOCCER CHANNEL HD to FIOS TV!

As usual Verizon don't give a flying {word filter avoidance} about consumers.  Wait till next season, and I suspect they'll drop Fox from the Sports package completely and make it a stand alone $20 /month subscription channel.  Verizon's attitude to customer service is that they are doing YOU a favor by allowing you to watch TV.  God forbid they give consumers what they want, preferring instead to shove crap like the Wealth Channel and the Home Shopping Network in HD down our throats ....

My point proved - the only thing Verizon watch on these forums is {please keep it relevant}.  Think anyone from Verizon will ever actually man up and give us a date?  {word filter avoidance} no - I'm amending my earlier thought - Verizon will unbundle FSC from the Sports package, and add it to the old Setanta package and then double the price to make it a $30 /month package.  At which point they MIGHT do you a favor and actually make it HD ... but I wouldn't hold your breath.  You're more likely to see additional worthless HD channels added to the base package so that they can advertise "more HD channels than anyone else" ...

VZ customer service is the absolute WORST.  If I could get ATT U-Verse at my house, I'd drop these **bleep**ers in a heartbeat ...

just wanted to say I'm also disappointed that FSC HD is not available on FIOS TV. I just came from Dish Network where it was available. Footie season (in Europe) is over for now. Hopefully we'll see FSC HD added come August in time for the 2010-2011 seasons. C'mon Big Red... you've got a log of folks on here asking for this channel.

I really am wondering why Soccer cannot be in HD. Does Verizon not realize that the world cup is coming?

It is now May 16th. I am wondering whether I still have enough time to move to Cable before the kickoff.

Obviously it would be better if we get a guarantee that Soccer will be in HD by early June. Even if it is only during the weeks of the world cup.

World Cup matches in English will be on ESPN\ABC so we are ok. It would be nice to have FSC-HD light up prior to August when the English and Italian leagues start their new seasons.
