What Happened to Fox Sports World?

Fox sports word was awesome(584)...how can you take away the only channel dedicated to soccer with the World Cup next year(remember the World Cup ratings)? We have millions in this country who love soccer and want to watch worldwide highlights (not just premier league). Remove 1 of the other Million channels you have.

Not sure if you are asking what Verizon did with the channel or what Fox did with the channel.  In any event, FSC no longer exists, and that was a decision by Fox, not Verizon.  FSC is no longer available and has been converted to FXX, an off-shoot of the FX channel.
FSC went away for several reasons, but most notably, when Fox lost the English Premier League package to NBC, a good portion of their most popular content went away.  Also, FSC doesn't have MLS (NBC), nor does it have the U.S. Men's National team games either (ESPN for now and beIn for away games except for Mexico).  Fox doesn't have the World Cup next year (it does get the 2018 and 2022 versions), so it appears Fox made the decision to pull the plug.  It is likely that when Fox gets the World Cup, it will broadcast games on other cable stations that it owns.
While beIn is not a dedicated soccer channel, it broadcasts a lot of soccer, so you may want to look into that channel, which is available on the Ultimate tier or through the Sports Pass package.  Also, NBC Sports has MLS and the Premier League, so you can still get a lot of soccer.
Hope this helps...

  • Fox Sports West HD and Prime Ticket HD - What is the point?

    Why is there so little HD content on the LA area Fox Sports channels? If you are a Laker fan, it is great, otherwise it is hit or miss. Most of the Ducks home games are not broadcast in HD and we had to watch the first two playoff games against San Jose in SD when the great Versus HD coverage was blacked out. The Angels games are a little better situation, but even they aren't always in HD (especially the away games). This is 2009 right? I imagine that every sporting event out there is being shoot with HD cameras. Is Fox just cheap?
    And even when there are games in the HD channels, half the time they don't even so up in the guide. Why is that?

    Yes, Fox Sports is "cheap". Apparently it is an extra $20K or so to produce the game in HD. In a market like L.A., hockey doesn't garner the ratings (and by extension advertising revenue) to jusitfy the added expense. Fox Sports West is a business, so if they can not come up with the extra revenue, they are not going to pay the added expense. 
    There is still also the issue of the new master control facility in Houston is not quite running at 100% (at least from what I can put together on the web). All of the local FSN feeds are run through this facility, and it is still bandwidth limited. Therefore, FSN must prioritize which games game HD bandwidth and which ones don't. Red Wings make Fox tons of money, Kings and Ducks don't.
    I did read that FSNW and PT are going to try to produce at a minimum all of home games in HD next season. I'll believe it when I see it. 
    I would be happy if FSW and PT had a better SD signal. It looks like Fox compresses West and PT's SD feed to about 512 bits/sec.

  • IRadio - what happened to sports and talk channels?

    I listened to radion stations everyday via iTunes and just updated to 11.1 and they are all gone!  Will these be added later?  Wish I could go back to what I had.

    So I guess no one has a clue to what happened to actual radio stations?  Seems odd.  iRadio doesn't appear to be a real radio at all - it's just streaming music - and pretty narrowly focused at that. 
    The real readio stations disappeared with the "upgrade."  Usually things get better with upgrades.

  • E4X: What happens to the root element?

    I'm working with XML using the E4X notation. I'm used to the "old school" XML APIs that use DOM and I'm a bit confused.
    For example, let's consider the following XML
    <mx:XML id="myXML" >
      <top>
        <sub1 id="uno">
          <sub2>hello</sub2>
          <sub3>world</sub3>
        </sub1>
        <sub1 id="duo">
          <sub2>ok</sub2>
          <sub3>ko</sub3>
        </sub1>
      </top>
    </mx:XML>
    In my code I use the following traces. This is done with the De MonsterDebugger, but all others should work the same way. I have casted the traces to String only to make it easier to ask this question (no need post images)
    MonsterDebugger.trace(this, "myXML:" + myXML);
    MonsterDebugger.trace(this, "myXML.sub1: " + myXML.sub1);
    MonsterDebugger.trace(this, "myXML.sub1.sub2: " + myXML.sub1.sub2);
    What I get as output is
    (String) = myXML:<top>
      <sub1 id="uno">
        <sub2>hello</sub2>
        <sub3>world</sub3>
      </sub1>
      <sub1 id="duo">
        <sub2>ok</sub2>
        <sub3>ko</sub3>
      </sub1>
    </top>
    (String) = myXML.sub1: <sub1 id="uno">
      <sub2>hello</sub2>
      <sub3>world</sub3>
    </sub1>
    <sub1 id="duo">
      <sub2>ok</sub2>
      <sub3>ko</sub3>
    </sub1>
    (String) = myXML.sub1.sub2: <sub2>hello</sub2>
    <sub2>ok</sub2>
    All is fine above and this was a bit long abstract for my question. The question is what happens to the root element, in this case <top>? I was trying to access the data with the following notation
    myXML.top.sub1; // etc
    I spent quite a lot of time trying to get it to work, until I discovered that the root element is not used. Can anyone explain this?
    Or, I guess the simple explanation is that the root node is ignored and the sub nodes are created as properties of the object. The question also could be stated as: Why isn't this documented in the Flex API Reference?
    Thanks.
    P.S. I found this article on common E4X pitfalls which also has other interesting topics when working with E4X.

  • What happened to the Zen Micro Pho

    I had asked my parents to buy me the Zen Micro Photo as a gift for Christmas and they thought they had got the right one but they got the older Zen Micro, not the photo one. Not a big deal I thought, I would just go back to the store and exchange it. Well, it seems that the Micro Photo doesn't even exist anywhere. It isn't even available to buy on Creatives store, it isn't even listed as an option. Every store I have called told me that they don't carry that model, and every web site I have gone to is out of stock. I even called Amazon.com and asked them when they thought they would be getting more in and they said they didn't know. I called Bestbuy, CircuitCity, various electronics stores in the New York/New Jersey areas and everyone is sold out or never carried it. Just two weeks ago I saw it for sale on Creatives site and now it isn't there. I plan on calling Creatives customer service in the morning and asking them about it. Does anyone here know what happened, is it going to be available again or is it being replaced?

    Well I doubt that Creative just stopped making them, I remember while looking for a White one in the U.S. I called up Creative asking when they'll be sending more out and they told me late January/Early February they'll be shipping them out to retailer. I really wanted the White one to be honest but they only have grey over in the U.S. and I didn't want to have to order through the U.K. or Singapore for one.
    Yeah, I don't think the microphoto has been discontinued. I just think they're having some stock supply/demand issues and they're all sorts of screwed up with their websites for different regions around the world and the availability of items. It would be dumb to get rid of the micro and the microphoto since that would leave nothing to really compete with the ipod nano (and I don't think too many people are buying the neeon, but I could be wrong).
    Though I still would like to hear what the moderators know about the future of all of the different creative mp3 players.

  • What happened to Thee Oh Sees albums?!?

    I have been thoroughly enjoying Thee Oh Sees Floating Coffin album due to the highly enjoyable Toe Cutter song. I was about to play it this morning and to my great disappointment I see that the album is no longer available along with their other albums Drop and Mutilator Defeated At Last. What happened?? And Spotify please bring these albums back ASAP!!! Thee Oh Sees is currently my favorite band and this is no time to not be able to hear their latest 3 albums! Thank you.

    The reason is that the artist or their music label has likely decided to remove it from Spotify.
    The availability of music on Spotify is up to the artist and their music label.
    Spotify wants all the world's music, and they're working hard on making this happen for you. However sometimes agreements can't be reached with the artist or label or a change may happen in music ownership. Sometimes the music is only available in certain countries, while access is blocked to others. Sometimes the album or song will be unavailable temporary, and come back again later.
    Spotify adds thousands of albums and artists are added every day. If you can't find an artist you're looking for, they may appear (or reappear if removed) soon. In the meantime, feel free to contact the artist or their label to ask when they plan to be on Spotify.

  • What happened to my PSE8 edited pictures

    I imported some fresh pictures today and did some tweaking in Photoshop Elements 8 having set that app as my editing program. Now this evening I went back to look at those pictures and all the ones I edited and saved have a large triangle against a black background containing an exclamation mark in them when I double click to see them in enlarged view. I also cannot edit these at all anymore. What happened??? My earlier picture that I edited open just fine...something happened with these however.

    iPhoto 11 does not work with external editors like the previous versions did and is a big step backward or a bug.
    When you go to edit in an external editor iPhoto immediately creates a duplicate file and that's what gets edited by PSE. When the edit is saved it's saved to the new file and is not associated with the original file like iPhoto edits are.
    Now if you try to view the edited file or use it in a slideshow or book you can see the larger version of it. However, if you quit and relaunch iPhoto and try to use that edited photos iPhoto acts as if the modified version is missing (and it is because the original of that duplication is the modified version). If you do a Revert to Original iPhoto will start using the original of that photos which is the modified version. I know it's a bit convoluted and hope you can follow me.
    Be sure to report this bug to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html. The more reports from users the better the chance Apple will address it in the next update.
    This may be preaching to the choir but here's some info on using PSE from within iPhoto. The directions are for PSE 9 so may be a bit different from PSE 8 but the general info should be good:
    Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's Advanced Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    Click to view full size
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window
    Click to view full size
    that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 9 the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
    Click to view full sizes
    I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
    In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
    Click to view full size
    NOTE: If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS/PSE without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in iPhoto". That will let you either edit in iPhoto using the Edit button or Control-clicking on the thumbnail and selecting "Edit in iPhoto" or in PS/PSE by Control-clicking on the thumbnail and selecting "Edit in External Editor" in the Contextual menu.
    Click to view full size
    This way you get the best of both worlds.

  • Pipeline functions - what happens under the hood?  (10g)

    Hi all,
    What happens when you call a pipelined function? (As opposed to a plain table-valued function.)
    From what I understand, a pipelined function will return rows as they are needed. Let's say I have a really silly example of a pipelined function,
    CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY TEST_PACKAGE_1
    AS
        FUNCTION GET_DATA RETURN JUST_A_TABLE PIPELINED
        IS
        BEGIN
            PIPE ROW (JUST_A_TYPE('HELLO'));
            PIPE ROW (JUST_A_TYPE('WORLD'));
            RETURN;
        END;
    END TEST_PACKAGE_1;
    /Then let's say I were to SELECT * FROM TABLE(TEST_PACKAGE_1.GET_DATA) WHERE ROWNUM = 1, what happens to the second row? Does the code that returns the second row still get educated? (Obviously it's omitted from the query, but does it still get generated somewhere and just go nowhere?)
    If I have a cursor on a PL/SQL block that selects from GET_DATA, will each row only be returned as the cursor references it? In that case, what happens to the rows that don't get selected? If there some resource that need to be closed out (say, just before the return statement), would it still be safe to close it out?
    Thanks!
    Don

    Interesting question, lets try a simple test and see we'll just take your example function and toss in a few dbms_output statements like so:
    CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY TEST_PACKAGE_1
    AS
        FUNCTION GET_DATA RETURN JUST_A_TABLE PIPELINED
        IS   
        BEGIN
            dbms_output.put_line('ONE');
            PIPE ROW (JUST_A_TYPE('HELLO'));       
            dbms_output.put_line('TWO');
            PIPE ROW (JUST_A_TYPE('WORLD'));       
            dbms_output.put_line('THREE');
            RETURN;   
        END;
    END TEST_PACKAGE_1;Now not forgetting to enable dbms_output call it three times like so:
    SELECT * FROM TABLE(TEST_PACKAGE_1.GET_DATA) WHERE ROWNUM = 1;
    SELECT * FROM TABLE(TEST_PACKAGE_1.GET_DATA) WHERE ROWNUM <= 2;
    SELECT * FROM TABLE(TEST_PACKAGE_1.GET_DATA) WHERE ROWNUM <= 3;What I saw from my test was that with the first call I got 1 row of data from the pipelined function and only the first dbms_output statement was processed. For the second statement I got 2 rows of data from the function and the first two dbms_output statements were processed. For the final call I again got 2 rows of data from the function and all 3 dbms_output statements were processed.

  • I don't get channel 1748 fox sports MO.

    I'm very frustrated about why I don't get channel 1748? I live in KS and I paid for fox sports MO so that I can watch my hometown Cardinals play. I can watch the post show and the pre show and that's it. It just says this channel is blocked out in my area.
    When I called about this problem the guys said its because I should go to the stadium and watch it.
    I can go to the channel fox sport KS and can see royals and I'm NOT at the stadium watching it. So what's the deal? I shouldn't have to pay for a channel that I CANNOT get. How can I get this channel from being blocked? I can't drive seven hours to drive to a cards game. When I should just watch it on tv!!!

  • What Happens If I Miss Backups?

    Just wondering what happens if I miss the weekly backups. Does it matter? I have no need to keep hourly, daily, and only dock with my external drive ocassionally and let Time Machine rip. Since 10.5.2 I now get the nice tray icon reminding me. Does it matter if I leave it a couple of weeks?
    If there's a comprehensive document I can read point me there!@

    Of course my data is important, but as it's slowly changing files, mainly audio files, it wouldn't be the end of the world if I didn't backup for 2 weeks, and if it's a critical milestone then I usually plug in my alternative USB drive and run a little automation script that captures only the changed files instead of tying up my machine for 2 hours while Time Machine runs!
    TM is great piece of mind, but still a version 1 with many limitations. I use it cause it's easy.
    thanks for your suggstions...

  • What happened to TGA/Targa file format support?

    Tonight I tried to import some old scans of photos—I'm cleaning up my files and organizing. Well, back in the day (1993 or so) the scanning system I worked on used Targa (.tga) as its output format. So I have a number of them.
    When I tried to import them into Aperture, it would not accept them. I tried to drag and drop and do a manual import. On the manual import, the thumbnails wouldn't even appear.
    I get that Targa is not a common file format these days, and I don't see Targa in the list of supported file formats for Aperture 3, but what happened? TGA is in the list of supported file formats for Aperture 2.
    I'm a little concerned about having to convert all my Targas to TIFFs, but that's not the end of the world. What frightens me is: how many files did Aperture just throw away when I converted my library from Aperture 2 to Aperture 3? I don't know whether I imported any of my old Targas before upgrading to Aperture 3, but if I did, are they now gone?

    I seriously doubt they were deleted. Open up the library package folder then search for .tga within that folder.

  • What happened to my documents?!

    Hi, so, I use my ipad for school issues, and my Geography notes were in pages, but suddenly when i'm opening pages to check an exam date then I can't find my documents anywhere, just the two most important documents. Then I realize that all of my recent documents are all gone, the ones of literature, grammar, world studies, geography, cultural patrimony! EVERYTHING IS GONE!! I checked icloud and the are not there! what can i do? they are going to kill me!!!! please help me! i've got an exam soon and all of my notes are there!!! please help me!!!!!!

    Monte, did you enable iCloud Drive on an iPhone or iPad after updating to iOS8? Or what happened?
    In MacOSX 10.9.4 your Pages documents should be stored in your user Library folder. Click your Desktop to bring the Finder forward, then use the "Go" menu in the Finder. Hold down the options key (or alt key),while you select "GO", until you see "Library in the drop down menu. Open the "Library " folder.
    In the Library window  navigate to the folder "Application Support", and inside this folder to "MobileSync". Here you should find subfolder for "Pages" etc.
    If the MobileSync folder should be missing, or you are seeing documents with "loading" bars, restore this folder from your Time Machine backup.
