    Seems like it's the same as Setanta for now, $14.99/month for FS+. Hopefully that will change.

    anyone watching DirecTV 621 right now?



    "Setanta Converting to Fox Soccer Plus"

    "Beginning at 6AM, Setanta's programming will be available on Fox Soccer Plus". DIRECTV is proividing a seamless transition to all of the great content including rugby, cricket, and soccer matches that you enjoyed with Setanta Sports, right here on this channel."

    Cricket??? they never showed cricket. DirecTV is clueless :D

    When Setanta UK was going they aired the IPL (Indian Premier League) which is a 20twenty competition based in India, Setanta Australia had signed a couple of different agreement with Nimbus Sport to show the home series of India and Bangladeshi, there deals with Nimbus never happened to include when Australia was touring the sub-continent as Fox Sports always showed them there recent deal included the test series and ODI India vs South Africa which concluded only a couple of days ago. In Australia and early on the UK cricket would of been a good asset where there is tradition for the sport in the US would not make much sense

    for purposes of simplicity Setanta ~= FS+

    If you have Setanta (on Dish, DirecTV, FiOS, and TWC) you'll have FS+ on Monday-ish

    If you don't have Setanta then you're probably not missing much with FS+

    and don't forget to cancel at the end of May

    I give rep where it's due, positive or negative. You negrepped me for posting what ended up being true, labeling it "disinformation."

    If you're too stupid to understand the difference, I can't help you.

    RCN does not currently have fox soccer plus and they do not know when they may be adding it to their lineup

    FS+ was on the old Setanta channel 621 on my DirecTV HD box when I got home from work. Then it disappeared. No tv guide for 621 at all now. Any ideas what happened there?

    Thx,

    Jay!

    So, is it in HD at least on FiOS? I might be willing to pay $15 if it was HD. But for SD they can forget it.

    It is not in HD on FiOS only SD and according to their Twitter page it doesn't look like it'll be in HD any time soon either. Sounds like their priority is getting FSC HD first.

    Here you go: http://twitter.com/FiOStv

    Keep peppering him for that HD! If you scroll through the messages he mentions that they have been in negotiations for it.

    I just moved into a new place and went from having Setanta and FSC with DISH. Now I don't have a clear angle to the southern sky so I can't get satellite, and I'm stuck with Time Warner. Does anybody know if they are definitely getting FSC+ in the near future?

    I've had Setanta and FSC forever, and I'm really getting pissed off at the idea of not being able to watch Arsenal on my couch this weekend.

    TimeWarner has announced that it will be picking up FS+, but that probably won't be until later this month and there certainly will be no nationwide roll-out as TW doesn't operate that way. Local managers get to decide whether or not they want to carry the channel. That means some will get it and others will not.

    As blackhornet suggested FoxSoccer.tv looks pretty good. As a result of all the changes they have picked up a truckload of live matches through the rest of the season. For a soccer/rugby fan like me there is more there than I can handle. But then they have VOD! :)

    I realize it's not "TV", but it looks good on my 37" screen and since I doubt I'll ever get FS+ where I live I'm not going to look a gift horse in the mouth.

    Brighthouse is adding a handful of HD channels on Orlando & Tampa this month, but they're all Viacom stuff(MTV/VH1/BET etc) no sign of FSCHD or FC+
