Really Channel 7?

[Brisbane2013]

Really???? you're going to air the finals and possibly the grand final on 7mate? what a joke.

 

[footy_noob]

You don't have 7mate?

 

[Mr Eagle]

This is a bad thing?

 

[PHX]

I wish they would show them on 7mate in HD.

What's wrong with that? Doesn't this mean we might actually get it in HD?

 

[Jamurp]

To be fair, it's 2012, if you don't have a digital set top box or digital television then you're just way behind the times. 7mate is like any other channel and more importantly its HD

 

[Brisbane2013]

Nope :| also how will the games rate if you're showing it on a digital channel :|

 

[MagpieJoel]

Don't see the problem here.

you can fax a complaint to the AFL

I have 7mate and plenty of hd tv's at my house, but i'm going to my friends for a few weeks and they don't have 7mate, and it's miles and miles away from my house, what a joke!

Typical channel 7 blocking afl coverage in sydney and queensland

you can get a digital stb for $20 these days, doubt it will affect ratings

Channel 7 will most probably simulcast the finals on their main channel AND 7mate, I'm sure thats what they meant.

These people aren't your real friends...

You realise that comment makes absolutely zero sense, don't you?

Hopefully, i don't wanna travel for 6 hours to watch a footy game then travel back :|

Lads I'd love to debate this topic with you further, but my sister needs to use the bloody phone, hoo roo.

Take a STB with you?

Yeahh it does, channel 7 doesn't air the footy on channel 7 in queensland so i cant watch it, so there's the sence

Some regional areas don't have digital TV.

I wished more people would understand this :|

 

[neroblack]

They're not putting it on both Channel 7 and 7 mate? 7 mate would have to be just for the HD wouldn't it?

You know, even today years later, I realise I've left a web page open after walking away from the computer, I still have to fight the urge to bolt back and shut it down so I don't waste precious dial up time...!

Well afl has only been on 7mate all year, which is fine for me cause it's hd and i live in the city, but since i'm traveling up to a friends and his area doesn't get digital tv....

 

[Mr Eagle]

Yeahh it does, channel 7 doesn't air the footy on channel 7 in queensland so i cant watch it, so there's the sence

And you personally not being able to watch it does not equal 'blocking coverage in nsw and queensland'. Putting the football live on 7Mate for the rugby states has been one of the few good things that Seven have done this year!
