Why is that, Gav? I for one can't afford Foxtel and enjoy watching telly knowing that I haven't had to pay for it. I just can't justify the $$$$ paid for Foxtel. How much do you pay per month and what do you get for the money?

Hehe. I detect a bit of bias on the site thereChicky wrote:I just polled on that site... The numbers say it all - 93% of nearly 10,000 votes don't want to pay for sport on TV
Actually I think I might just be getting a bit crusty in my old age but all I see of professional sport is just a brand being peddled to make money for merchandisers, broadcasters and bookmakers. They hope that hoping some of the rabid loyalty fans have to their clubs will wash off and help sell the beer and tshirts.
The players, young men barely out of their teens, are paid ridiculous salaries just to play a sport. Then they're idolised as heros because they happen to be good atheletes, while the people in our society who really deserve ticker tape parades in recognition of ther efforts are quietly forgotten.
The whole lot stopped being an athletic contest long ago and that's made it not worth watching. Put the stuff on Foxtel where it can have a dedicated channel to play the games on good time slots.

Just a little curious Turbo, have you actually asked your landlord if you can get foxtel installed, as far as I know most landlords don't have a problem with it, all my houses have had foxtel, and i have had no prolems when I have askedTurbo wrote:I am a big fan of TV - I watch it as often as I can - I know foxtel is expensive but I would pay it in a heart beat if I could get it (rental house). Its not so cool when I have a 58" TV and only 4 channles
58" ? geebus!Turbo wrote:I am a big fan of TV - I watch it as often as I can - I know foxtel is expensive but I would pay it in a heart beat if I could get it (rental house). Its not so cool when I have a 58" TV and only 4 channles
The irony of course with Foxtel etc, is the picture quality doesnt come close to some of what you can get on Free-to-Air Digital.. so it'd probably suck muchly on such a big (presumably HD?) TV..
