SurPeru. Spanish channel.

Directv has it, and it is one of the only true Peruvian channels offered. Directv has a deal with Verizon to sell its services. It seems like to me that Verizon could work a deal to provide that channel to its FIOS market. As of now that is not possible due to an exclusive deal with Directv. I was told by the channel provider that it was DTVs choice, and they would provide it to what ever providers DTV allowed them. Perhaps it would eliminate the exclusive right for DTV and force then to allow other cable operators to provide it. Politics! I would even upgrade my package and agree to another two years if this were to happen, and I am sure my wife would be behind me 100%. The Brazillian channel was just added, why not Peru?

There is a large Peruvian population that has DTV just for this reason.


I just did some research. Time Warner, Comcast and others are adding this channel to the Spanish lineup. It looks as if DTV has lost it's exclusive rights. Why not FIOS? It is a SD channel and I am sure there is QAM space somewhere for one more SD. It would go in line with the other Soccer channel requests. Not excusively soccer but does air some games in the Spanish language.

While the season is heating up....FSC HD ... FSC+ HD... MSG HD

For next season it would be nice to see the "special" UEFA Champions League channels that DirecTV apparently has free of charge.

Hurry...it's been available for nearly a month now! Competitors are adding this in HD and I'm prepared to switch once Setanta is gone at the end of the month.

I Agree.

We need:

FoxSoccerChannel in HD

Fox Soccer Plus (On its launch of March 1st)

Fox Soccer Plus HD (If there is one)

BBC America HD.

And also Update the darndid on-demand service more often, I hate missing shows and having to wait 2+ weeks for an episode I missed. Or it just never appearing.

Also some free movies wouldnt go a miss.

Your free on-demand line up is horrible compared to other providers.

I forgot to add I am a First Tme Poster also, had FiOS for 4 months now..

Also, even though this is off topic. But still in a way goes with channel lineup.

It would be really nice that when you cancel a TV package or make it obsoleet and do not even show it as a choice to pick or view details. And create a new better package for cheaper. THAT YOU LET ME CHANGE TO IT!.

Turner Classic Movies HD - This channel is what is on my TV sometimes 12 hours or more a day.  I'm still on cable and the HD version of this is such an improvement over the SD even if most content is just up-rezed.  I would switch to FiOS in an instant if you carried this.  Please.  I'm begging you guys, assure me that it's coming within a few months and I'll sign up today.

BBC America HD -  So many great shows and documentaries, and a lot of great HD.

Cartoon Network HD

Ovation HD

Some Hong Kong channels - The current Chinese package only features channels from Mainland China or Taiwan.

Other than that it looks like FiOS has everything I would want.

As I posted last week, ION-HD has now been added in North NJ today ( a day earlier than I had mentioned).  Don't  know about Philly, but check channel 531.
