Foxtel

Finally an agreement reached.
Foxtel will show live and exclusive twilight games every Sunday during the season and has also gained an unprecedented four live fixtures into Adelaide and Perth respectively involving local teams. In the past those games had to be shown free-to-air.

I have Foxtel, but not Fox Sports 3...and to tell you something...We have EVERY Channel, except FS3 (wtf), because it is in the sports package, and every other sports channel is in the premium/platinum (whateva)

Looks like I am going to have to pay and extra 15 bucks on top just for footy.

I am in the exact same situation as you Lonie, Dont worry your not the only one, but we have to get it I can't not have 4 games of footy each week.

Lonie, Nick do you have Foxtel Digital? Because in the current plans Foxtel offer they are pretty bad, none of the sports channels are in the basic package, you have to pay extra for all the sports channels. We were lucky enough to get a pretty good deal when we signed up to Foxtel Digital, we got something that was called Basic w/Entertainment and Sport Extra. We don't get Fuel, CI or MTV but to get what we get now with the current packages we would have to pay for about 3 more packages.

Yeah, I do have Foxtel Digital, they made the basic package really bad now they took out heaps of channels to make it cheaper to get more people to sign up. My Aunty has I think the same package as you do they got a basic but there basic has all the sports and stuff.

I'm just thankful my housemates are NBA freaks!

The only thing I need to worry about is getting a digital set-top box to watch FTA games in high definition on my 42' Panna Plasma.

That's sucks!! First they get rid of Fox Footy (which was the reason why I got Foxtel in the first place) and now they seem to be forcing people in getting another upgrade of some sort.

I am lucky though as I have the digital with the comedy channel package and for some reason FS3 is on (channel 503). But it's just not right!!!

Yeah that's pretty much it. We don't get movies, since we never watched them anyway and if there is a really good movie on, it will be on Box Office a long time before it's on Showtime/Movie One channels (we only used to have Showtime1/2/greats anyway). That is what's crap about the new packages, whilst it's similar, if you want movies you've got to have the whole shebang, if you want sports you've got to get FS123, ESPN, Fuel, Eurosportsnews etc and now they have about 3 different extra chanells.

I realise that allowing people to select every single channel would be stupid and unfeasable for Foxtel, but they should give you the basic package and you can pay more and choose 5 channels of your choice or pay even more and have 10 channels. Having the sport channels seperate is an awful deal.
