The channel is a great companion to the Fox Soccer Channel and is offered in 720p High Definition (HD).
yeah I’ve been watching the preview and I guess it’s supposed to be in HD, but it’s not showing up as HD on my screen at all. IN fact the screen is shrunk compared to other channels. Weird
could be the source — meaning, whoever is broadcasting the games. or, maybe your carrier is just not supporting the channel in HD.
I know this is really old but anyway. It’s DirecTV, are they not supporting this channel in HD? I think it was just because it was a preview. I mean, c’mon, all other HD channels on DirecTV I see in HD.
Definitely wasn’t the source. It was a shrunk picture (meaning black space around all 4 sides creating a smaller picture) for every single game and I know for a fact that many of the games were in HD and others who had Fox Soccer Plus were seeing them in HD. I know because of ripped highlights on youtube of the very games I was watching on Fox Soccer Plus and they were clearly in HD so that’s what clued me in.
