FOX SOCCER in HIGH DEFINITION

Has anyone heard when if FIOS going to add Fox Soccer in High Definition?  The channel has been available for some time now I think.  I'm told by Verizon they watch these blogs, really the only way to "register" a vote for them to add it.  Please register your vote, and get others to do so... No offense to any anglers, but I think there may be more fishing shown in high definition!

I'm convicned that Verizon are about to find a way to completely screw the consumer (again!).  After the WC, I suspect that FSC and Fox Soccer Plus will become their own add-on package for the wonderful price of $29.99 a month.  Only THEN will they actually make the HD programming available.  After all - why give away a HD channel for "free" as part of the sports package when you can bundle it with another offering and double your money by making the customer pay for the Sports package AND the Soccer package ...

For those  complaining about FSC, you have to remember a couple things. 1) Despite the outside soccer sites that are posting links to the Verizon board and telling people to come here and request it, soccer, while it does have many fans, is nowhere near as popular in the U.S. as baseball, football, etc. etc.  2) Fox is a rip-off and overcharges.  Most likely, they want a premium price and may even not allow FSC unless FSC+ is included, at an even higher price for Verizon to carry. So...3) If Verizon did give Fox the high prices they most likely want for a niche channel...who should pay for it?  (Especially since they can probably add THREE other HD channel for what Fox may want for FSC.)  Fans of the more popular aforementioned sports?  (Which cost less to carry)  Or those who don't care about soccer and would never watch it?

Guys-

They are out of capacity right now - that is why there have not been any national HD additions this year.

MSNBC HD only made it because it took the spot of Red Zone.

Unless they start compressing more (like Comcast and everyone else) - there won't be many (or any) new channels until 2011, when IPTV will be tested.

There's no plot - but someone needs to tell the VZ Twitter guy to actually stop telling people that channels "are coming".

Well I recently swtiched from com{please keep your posts courteous} to FIOS hoping to get more since FIOS comes out to me as technologically way way more advance. but to my surprise there is no FSC HD or GOL TV HD. these are the only 2 source of soccer in the USA.. if they are talking about removing some HD channels before adding new ones, i suggest getting rid of OUTDOOR HD!!
