AO tv coverage

[OzBomber]

Couldn't give a stuff about HD tbh. Doesnt bother me in the slightest. Just as long as I can watch channels like ONE, 7TWO etc.

Mine is 42inches - when I first bought it the lounge room was so small we almost had to have the couch in the way of the front door to get far enough back.

Have moved since then and after having the TV for 3 years it is starting to look on the small side - especially if you go to mates places who have 50inch+ ones.

Good news regarding the coverage for next week. The government have lifted the dumb rule that stops them from showing the Australian Open on multichannels so once they hit the News they can just switch the coverage over to 7Two. Plus, with the Queensland floods will probably affect the shceudle next week, this is good news for everyone.

 

[iluvparis]

Agree - that is great news!

 

[ROSEMVP]

why not put it on 7 mate and show it in hd.

 

[BobbyMorri]

Because a lot less people who have access to 7 Mate than the people who has access to 72. See the previous posts in the forum.

They don't show the AFL in HD, why would they bother with tennis...

 

[Brad Goodman]

I don't think I've ever watched anything in HD, but I can still watch sport on TV without feeling like I'm missing out on something.

Kudos for channel 7 for actually showing tennis on 7Two (Sydney probably isn't on the anti-siphoning list either). Good signs for the future, looks like FTA coverage of tennis is on the improve (I guess we'll have to wait and see what 9 does though...)

How come 7two isn't showing the Clijsters match? It's the final FFS

 

[ROSEMVP]

imo take off all sport of fta tv. if you dont want to show live and in hd take it off.

foxsports is doing a great job.

Foxtel is also a rip off, and not everyone can afford it.

Foxtel shits me because probably 80% of subscribers only want it for Fox Sports, yet they insist on bundling it with a bunch of other shit channels and charging like a wounded bull.

As Freeview takes off, hopefully Foxtel gets its act together.

I think tennis is as boring as anything but Channel 7's Hewitt won this afternoon. I swear he was about to get the trophy when 7 ended it to go straight to 'Coastwatch'. Did I miss the actual ceremony or has 7 continued its tradition?

 

[Xtreme]

I found it hilarious that at about 4:50, they said they'd be back after the break for the presentation, at 4:54 they came back, said how great it was they Hewitt won.... previewed the Medibank International mens final, the charity day tomorrow and the start of the Australian Open. Then ended the broadcast.

Ah good, so I wasn't imagining things.

Channel 7 continue thier pathetic standards of covering sport.

I like you

Channel 7 are sub-par at everything they do...

So no Today Tonight or Home and Away?

This is exceptional news...

 

[Kaan]

Are you guys sure 7mate is showing games between 6pm-7pm(News and Today Tonight)

Checking the guide there isn't Tennis on 7mate at 6pm-7pm

 

[tazzietiger]

Hopefully they dont flick in-between matchs between matchs to much.
I personally rather just watch one hole live match then being flicked back and fourth between a couple.

 

[THRILLHO]

Hmm, Gael Monfils and De Bakker or Sharapova and a fat lady-boy?

Tough choice 7...

 

[Heisenberg_]

Why would they choose such a rubbish match?
Mens games should always get priority, especially in the first round when womens matches normally aren't even close.

 

[BobbyMorri]

And bombersno1 wanted this match on RLA at night.

Absolutely terrible women's match.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

It will be better than watching Groth anyway. Mind you I don't care as I am going out for dinner tonight so I would rather watch Maria during the day.

 

[damochandler]

If you haven't turned 7 off already. You should now that hamish the tool is on
