I am livid!

[TimeFor11]

I've come across the broadcast guide for next week - Sydney Vs Richmond Channel 7 1 hour delay into Melbourne!

How about you stick your ****ing game on live when it is interstate you useless excuse for a network! All good doing it on delay when it's played in Melbourne. However we aren't all able to find our way up to Sydney via a 45 minute train ride as we would if it was here!

Disgusting, their ****ing shit news doesn't warrant this delay its absolute crap!

Sometimes when watching channel 7 I wonder whether i'm watching 120mins of ads with a bit of football every now and then.

At least next year Foxtel will have every game live.

 

[TimeFor11]

Yeah your not wrong I just hate not seeing team live, makes it very hard to watch particularly if we are losing

 

[delediofan3]

Are you able to at least watch them online after the games? If not, I have every game saved (minus r1) if you ever want to watch them.

 

[mcuzzy]

can someone outside of VIC please organise a live stream?

 

[The BRICKSTER]

Disgusting if true. Fair enough if its in Melbourne, but as its interstate this is simply a disgrace.

Don’t see how anyone can be livid when 3pm has been the starting time for both Saturday and Sunday for years.

because normally those games are being played in Melbourne that day, thus you should be at the game in person, not at home on the couch. The fact that this game is being played interstate is why this is such a joke.

No idea what your on about. Saturday and Sunday football on TV for years has started at 3pm so it runs into the news for ratings.

Next year Saturday games will be starting live at the ground at 3pm instead of the 2.10 time and will also be live on telly, and Sunday will still be delayed to start at 3pm.

Other way around. Saturday games will still start at 2:10pm, but broadcast on FTA at 3pm, live on Foxtel.

The Sunday game will start at 2:10pm and be shown live on FTA.

I ****ing hate channel 7. Was devastated when they got the rights back. They have absolutely no passion for the game, or feel for broadcasting it. Arrogent pricks.

I couldn't give a stuff about them getting it again next year as there are so many options for watching it and every game will be live.

Can't wait for the footy broadcasts next year, I'll probably just go with the Foxtel on XBox Live deal where it's $20 per month over the internet. I assume that given every FTA game will also be on Foxtel that it will be the Foxtel coverage that is shown for every game anyway. Plus it's month by month so I can just shut it off when the footy season is over to save cash.

+1 for me. It seems every now and then the footy keeps getting in the way of their ad-athon. 3 hr program with about 75 mins of footy. I just wait for the replay on Foxtel and watch it then.

Someone please do a live stream...

 

[Madtiger2006]

I support delayed telecast of games in Melbourne but not interstate games. This game should start on tv at 2pm

 

[TheProwler]

Sweet, live in tassie

 

[PHX]

Sweet, live in tassie

Heh, just had to check to make sure it wasnt the V8s delaying the game, and it's not, so all clear. Live and no ads.

 

[Azzleberry]

I'm just happy the game is on free-to-air and not Foxtel, so I don't have to go out to watch the game. Although a few frothier at a pub and tigers on Foxtel is enticing

I wouldn't be putting any type of personal details onto a PS3 anytime soon.

Will also be able to do it through Telstra T-Box if you use Bigpond internet which is handy as it won't count towards your download limits that way.

You can also watch through Telstra mobile phones. So in that case you could do something like getting the Nokia N8 or upcoming W8 which has an HDMI port, watch the game on your phone and plug it into your TV to watch on the big screen.

Will be interesting to see how it all works out by Feb-March 2012

In the Latrobe Valley there are only limited suppliers of ADSL 2, and telstra have average packages. My phones with another carrier until Feb next year, so screwed. Can't get Foxtel/Austar as saving for a block. At least i have radio apps on the iphone to dial in to Melbourne stations broadcasting the footy i guess.

My Foxtel subscription has been bumped up by the additional Victoria Bitters that have been appearing in the fridge. Foxtel and beer to go together nicely.

Always hoping our interstate games or Skilled Stadium games are on Foxtel.

That's why you listen to it on the radio, if we're winning you watch it, if we're losing, save the anguish, no need to watch it. Easy.
