FiOS is the only confirmed. DirecTV still has yet to make it official though we've seen many hints that they are close.
It's FS+ If people stopped called it FSC+ then maybe cable providers would know what channel you're talking about.
Agreed. We're only confusing the crap out of the call center reps by calling it "FSC+" "FSC2" and whatever else we call it. Call it FS+ each and every time and we save the employees (and us) a ton of headache.

Something strange for FIOS users. I had FS+ schedule appearing in my FIOS guide, now from midnight Sunday on it says, Off The Air in my guide. I'm just curious if there's been a snag or why this suddenly happened.
So, it looks like FIOS is adding FS+ (replacing Setana ) as a PPV station, @ $14.95/month, BUT no mention of FSC HD being added. It figures that they want us futbol-fanatics to pay the extra for more SD soccer. I know I won't.....................
Watching a replay of Bordeaux-Olympiacos on Setanta this morning, I now have a crawler that says Setanta will go off the air 3/1, but will be replaced on Dish by FS+ at the same charge.
Yeah, it's the same way with AT&T. I'm guessing that it was pulling the info from FS+ from the providers, but when "things kicked in" the provider of the guide realized that it was a different channel and changed things to "off air." If you see "Off Air," it's probably a good bet that you won't be seeing FS+ on 3/1.
except that FiOS has already stated that FS+ will take over the channel 1009 slot left behind by Setanta seamlessly on 3/1.
Well finally its official... we have directv, dish, time warner (corp), fios.. all signed up... leaving a lot of customers on edge right till the end... NOW what.... do we need to be signed up.. or are we all "transitioned" to the new network from Setanta? nothing on directv website as of now... i dont feel like fighting with a CSR for the next 3 hours... so im wondering.. whats next... Cantona----
Judging from an email response I got from DirecTV, if you already have Setanta, you will automatically get Fox Soccer Plus.
FYI Brighthouse here in Tampa is still only showing Prem games on the regular Fox Soccer Channel and the one off Fox Sports Net/HD feed game a week and has nothing for Fox Soccer Net HD or Fox Soccer Plus for next week on the program guide. I was hoping that since Fox and Brighthouse/TWC that just went through contract negations that they came to an agreement at the start of the year that they would have come to an agreement to carry the new network when it was rolled out since they new FS+ was going to be rolled out just weeks after the ink dried.
I'm also in the Tampa Bay area. I've called Bright House several times requesting FSCHD and FS+. A CSR told me for best results, you should e-mail channel requests, so here's the link to do just that, http://tampabay.brighthouse.com/contact_us/email/default.aspx
After a few frustrating conversation on a Sunday morning, with DISHNetwork, I have found out that the easiest thing to say is that "FOX Soccer Plus" is the channel that is replacing Setanta. Fox Soccer+ rang no bells. However, as soon as I mentioned the words "subscription channel" and "Setanta," the guy knew immediately what I was talking about. Hope this helps.
