I won a thousand dollar Harvey Norman voucher on the old Fox Footy thanks to Mr and Mrs Anthony McDonald belting some goose from Footscray and his wife on their shortlived players + partners gameshow.

Here's to more content filler shows like that!

Have just been on the phone to Foxtel and they said they will extend the $50 'get started' deal that was supposed to expire on 12th Nov.

This includes 36 channels plus the Sports package which has 10 channels (covering all AFL) on a 12 month contract.

Just went SD and only the one box. Multi room was another $20 per month. Total cost for the 12 months = $545.00 (basically ten bucks a week)

I've never has Foxtel before but believe this is going to be fantastic value being in WA, and being able to watch the mighty Dee's every week, LIVE!

12 x 50 = 600 with free instal, so how come you got it for 545? Did you bargain it further?

SD is fine. I found the picture during most AFL games on fox HD horrible compared to American sport on ESPN HD. That's true HD.

Sorry DC should've explained it better. The minimum cost for 12 months will be $545... Given that you pay one month in advance (so the buggers have already taken one payment).

So with this great foxtel deal is anyone actually going to go to the footy? Or will we start to hear canned crowd effects??

The offer's been extended until 31 December - I got a neat little FOXTEL promo card in the mail today in the shape of a Melbourne jumper with my name on the back and a big number 5.

I gotta say, I'm pretty tempted, not so much for Melbourne games (upgraded to 17-game membership next year), but for the uninterrupted coverage of the other 8 matches..

The downside is that I know I'll just end up watching a bunch of other garbage on it that I can really live without.
