Please Please Please add Fox Soccer Channel in HD and Fox Soccer Channel Plus in HD!!!!!  It's Football season NOW and the games broadcast in HD actually look worse on my HDTV because you do not offer them in HD!

Please add God TV to your television lineup. It's the only thing that has me missing DirecTV - with God TV, I would no longer wonder if I made the wrong decision.

Thanks!

No they won't.  Regardless of the flurry of posts here (many of which were sent here by on-line soccer sites), soccer is not that popular in the U.S.  And who else is carrying this channel?  Comcast?  Charter? Cablevision? None!   Right now, I believe only DIRECT TV is carrying it.  So those "lost" subscribers won't have too many options for just the one channel.

film11, FSC-HD has been avaliable on Dish Network since February 10 (over 6 months). Both SAT providers now offer the channel. FSC-HD is also available on Time Warner cable in select markets. Down in Austin and San Antonio, both FSCHD and FS+HD have been available since late March.

yet another vote (if anyone's paying attention) for Fox Soccer Channel in HD.  The SD broadcasts are almost painful to watch....

Yes...got the two confused.  Only DISH had it and DIRECT TV only added it this week...and remember that satellite are NATIONAL providers; other companies are more regional.  So it's no surprise that Texas would have it, given the demographics there. !  As for TWC, the key is "selected markets."  The majority do NOT have it.  But again, it's not just Verizon...most cable carriers are not offering it as of yet.  Fox charges an exorbitant amount for its channels.  I, for one, wouldn't want to see my rates go up just for one channel with a (relatively) small base.  That said, I'm sure that when channel capacity expands, FSC will be added as well as more desired channels.

It's football season, again, just like every other year.  We NEED CBS College Sports HD; the standard definition just does not  cut it on my HDTV.  Seriously, DirectTV and Comcast already offer this channel in HD.  Get with the program!!! Please.

actually soccer is a lot bigger then you would think. USA is a nation of immigrants and in most other countries "soccer" is the biggest sport. Maybe because all the games are early in the morning it doesnt seem as popular. and btw timewarner and dish also have this channel, and comcast has said they are getting it soon. Verizon hasn't said anything and im guessing that means negotiations with fox aren't going well. Have you even seen the sd broadcast, its horrible.  I dont know why you would defend verizon they have clearly dropped the ball on this one. BTW i came here on my own free will, no "on-line soccer site" sent me. When dish got the channel last season, i figured fios would get it by the start of next season, especially off the heals of the world cup this summer. Right now is the best time because people are still hyped after the wc, verizon and its customers are losing out.
