really??
Fox Sports had a banner on their website earlier this morning saying "Fox Footy Launches at 10:30am Today"

:?:
A launch is a product launch, different to the commencement date.


i am Melbourne Skies - sometimes Blue Skies, Grey Skies, even Partly Cloudy Skies.

Now just to clarify.

Will the footy channel be in HD only, or will it be on HD and normal Foxtel.

I already pay enough for it and dont want to fork out for HD as well.


Lance or James??

There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, "Enough is enough." For me, that time is now. I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in <redacted>. Over the past three years, I have been subjected to a <redacted>investigation followed by <redacted> witch hunt. The toll this has taken on my family, and my work for <redacted>and on me leads me to where I am today – finished with this nonsense. (Oops just got a spontaneous errection <unredacted>)

It'll be on both.

Of course the real kicker will be if we are now forced to pay a monthly fee, for what may have otherwise have been included in our packages, just to pay the wages of one of Australia's biggest self promoters and capitalists :evil:
herein lies my biggest gripe with paytv
we used to have really good covereage of the AFL, a dedicated chanel lots of talk shows and a continuous loop of games during the week.
That got cut back, and thanks to the alliance with Sky (read: soccer) and the Nine network (read: NRL) the great "aussie" game was an after thought with much reduced airtime.

ok ok the re-introduction of an afl chanel will make it easier to swallow next year, but the cosy alliance with CH7 enemies is a big concern to our game. The Footy Show spends a lot of time taking pot shots at 7, now you will get the head honcho of 9 on pay taking shots as well.
this is a plot of Machiavellian proportions

Just moved house and Austar(Foxtel) has been the furthest thing from my mind..... Called up to cancel my subscription and was offered a pretty sweet deal...

Free install at the new place with Standard package + sports (including new Footy Channel) + Quest (Documentaries) + Mystar + HD + no minimum contract= $69.00 per month

don't watch movie, sci-fi, 'lifestyle' channels so it'll do me.... small cost to pay to watch The Saints tearing it up live (and hopefully in HD most of the time) next season.

Edward is great and stop whinging about him. He is passionate about the game and that is surely what one wants compared to the fake intelligensia of Tim Lane.

It could be worse, much more.
