I never understood why people post in threads on topics they don't give a s*** about. If you don't care then simply stay out of it.

I don't go into the multiple threads about Sunday Ticket or one of the other sports threads and post how american football is crap, blah blah blah. I simply stay away from it because I don't care about it.

I usually don't either but since some thought they should hammer in their opinions and disrespect the opinions of others i said "hey maybe i should do the same." ;) fair is fair.

Do you do that to every thread that wants people to call DirecTV and ask them add the channel? Or did you target this particular one because you don't like soccer?

i picked to do that in this thread because of the way some jumped all over the opinions of a few that don't like soccer. that's all. everyone has a right to their opinions and i don't think its just when certain people decide to tell others to shut up in pm's just because they don't agree with that opinion. i would've done the same thing if it would've been the other way around.doesn't matter what the topic is.........

Excuse me,but this thread discussion was pretty civilized untill your post (#35). Were you injured by a soccer ball as a child?
 
The issue isn't so much that I don't like soccer. But let's face it. Soccer is a less popular sport in America. Football rules. Directv should make it's decisions based upon what is best for the largest amount of people, and I suspect that there are other non soccer channels that more people would want to see in HD.

The issue of what HD channnels to add with the new sat. is obviously very personal. I would love to see D* poll its subscribers and post the results. Anyone have a breakdown of the current band-width allocation? How much is taken-up by HDPPV? Ultimately D*'s allegiance is to the bottom line, not customer satisfaction.
 
I guess I am in the boat to add the Fox Soccer HD channel even though I watch little soccer. I am a die-hard NFL guy who watches American Football religiously!

However, every few years I do turn on the World Cup and watch every game I can of that soccer tourney! Anyone who doens't recognize the appeal of soccer to not only the USA, but those who live in this country and are from another, are simply fooling themselves! Soccer is the most recognizable/played sport in the world and so it appeals to masses. The World Cup is Awesome and I can't wait for it this summer!

I know nothing about the UEFL or Euro leagues or whatever they are. Hell, they confuse me! But I do cheer for the US soccer team and this is their opprtunity this year in the World Cup to prove something! If they ever appear on the FOx Soccer Channel I sure would hate to watch it in SD or the SD that D* is putting out now.

I think D* will add the channel sometime this year. It has mass appeal to many subscribers. Will I watch it alot? no. But hell, I have never seen a single program on the Travel Channel either......Guess I am on the sports side of things!

Exclusively on ESPN-HD, ESPN2-HD and ABC-HD so not relevant to this discussion.
 
I called Directv and emailed them requesting that they add FSC-HD to their Sports Pack lineup. I caught the soccer bug in the late 90's and have never looked back. The only reason I subscribe to the Sports Pack is for FSC.
 
I don't know if this is a positive move as far as FSC in HD but Direct Tv is now the official sponsor of the FSC Matchday Live ;)
 
The Arsenal v ManUre match would be a nice one to flip the switch for :up


Fox Soccer Channel Now Broadcasting In HD | EPL Talk

Fox Soccer Channel is now broadcasting in HD, according to several reports from viewers nationwide. The 24/7 soccer network has added the HD symbol to its coverage and is now available to all carriers nationwide. However not all programming shown by Fox is HD content, and not all carriers have added the HD feed as of yet. The next step for cable and satellite carriers will be to manually add a HD channel (cable) or HD sub-channel (satellite), so while Fox is now broadcasting in HD, the ball is firmly in the hands of the TV carriers nationwide.
DirecTV is receiving the HD signal from Fox Soccer Channel but DirecTV has not yet added the HD feed, a source confirmed to EPL Talk on Thursday.
In additional news, FSC HD showed up in the uplink reports from DISH Network yesterday. Basically this means a link has been made for the channel and then DISH will “flip a switch” to make it viewable for their customers. Fox Soccer Channel is on channel 149 on DISH.
If you’re a Fox Soccer Channel viewer, please post in the comments section below whether you’re able to see FSC in HD.
 
Of course, the PQ for the Arsenal v Man Utd is the worst I've seen in the last 3 years :rolleyes:

Hate to start this up but for those who hate soccer, the Arsenal v United match is usually a good one to watch. It may change your mind.
