The Foxtel Footy Channel

[wattsup 470]

Just finished watching first half.

After FOXTEL saying they have so many cameras following the play.

and wont miss anything.

They then miss the most basic behind the play incident.

Dermie then has to explain what he thinks he saw. (totally amateurish)

One thing I have learned from the first half. Tigers are crap and kangas are worse.

GO DEES

dusty martin looks like having a big year though

[greenmachine 21]

he looks real good and good on him will be a star

[wattsup 470]

He got the memo that it was Heritage Round I think!

Havent sighted his brotherAddam yet, he was listed in the squad in the paper.

[Barney Rubble 1,576]

It just gets worse for Tigers & Kangas.

Should I suggest that one of them would provide the first win to GWS?

I know it's early but gee they really look shite.

[P-man 13,366]

Maric playing well. Still think that one could come back to haunt us.

Don't think they looked too bad for 1st game of the NAB Cup. They were both competitive and made some mistakes that are to be expected.

Live vision not great on iPad...vision keeps dropping out.

Live games going on now and foxtel on xbox is playing replays of last nights games. Not a great start..... Not very happy.

well if it's partnered through Telstra what do you expect?

Are you sure you are watching FOX FOOTY and not the BigPond Footy channel?

[wonnabeeri 275]

I reckon thats what I may have done. Now I feel like an idiot!

[Redleg 40,855]

Thought the Foxtel telecast tonight was poor. Camera work sloppy and direction poor with no replays of interesting incidents. I suppose the A team didn't go to Blacktown.

No you didn't Wonna.

I got the T-box option and missed the first game saturday night. i had a message on my screen saying tune into pies v dogs at 8:10 as there is no football on now.

I rang Telstra and got some overseas numbnut who had no ides what footy was. Jumped on bigfooty and asked those giving score updates what was going on and got this link in reply http://www.foxtel.com.au/whats-on/blackout/default.htm

This is February's list, No Melb V Bris live next week. I paid for all the footy live and as far as I'm concerned I've been lied too and ripped off. What guareentee's do I have this won't happen in the season proper. Their own staff are ignorant of the product they are selling which makes assistance impossible.

I am really furious about this and I'll be removing all my business from this shitstain of a company.

Live vision not great on iPad...vision keeps dropping out.

I was watching on Friday night and it dropped out quite a few times, though a refresh got the video stream back quickly.

I watched for about 90 minutes on Saturday night (GWS, Collingwood, WB) and it only cut out once. Also watched about 20 minutes last night with no problems.

I should note that it automatically cuts out after 60 minutes as you can only stream in 60 minute blocks for some reason, even though you can start streaming straight away.

The vision is only so/so, can be difficult to make out the numbers on the count down timer at times, although it was much better last night with the Ess v WC v Freo game.

Overall, I think it is worth the $50 for the entire season, which includes match summaries, press conferences and so on. It's a shame you cannot replay games and can only watch them live though.

[wonnabeeri 275]

If this is true I will be extremely annoyed. Can the foxtel rep confirm this?

Had the same problem, rang Telstra complained and got $20 off for the month, and I only joined on Friday afternoon.

What a f'ing joke. Paying $365 for 7 months of footy and we don't even get our nab cup games. Add to that how glitchy the service is. Disconnecting tomorrow and requesting a refund.

Do you know if this will effect games during the season proper Rhett?

FOXTEL have confirmed they have 8 out of every 9 games of the full regular season rounds on Xbox.

Did you manage to make contact and disconnect ? If so, I hope you advised them of the reasoning so they can investigate the quality of signal delivered to you

Any danger of putting Dwayne up against a wall and shooting him? Would make a great one-off special.

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

What are you talking about? Without Dwayne I wouldn't know that each time a player has the ball within 100 metres of goal that he could go for a Super Goal.
