Is it just me here in Brisbane - or others? Looking forward to watching the Saints but for past 45 mins no transmission ... "we hope to return to transmission as soon as possible." Great!!!

Might have somthing with the solar flares. I did hear on the radio during the news today about it. The person they interviewed said "If you own a satellite in space swich it off or it's gonna get fried"

This is absolute bulls***. Turn the bloody soccer off and put the footy on.
I can,t believe we are going to miss the footy cause of some issue.
I have been waiting all week for this.
I,m moving to Melbourne

I am so angry, ths is the only game I was going to see before I go overseas for the rest of the footy season (not a holiday by the way)

This is Eddys fault for sure

At least they could play a variety of music while we are waiting. I can't stand hearing the same short piece of music over and over again. Or how about a bit of an explanation instead of the same stupid message. Thankl goodness it's on 7Mate at 11.30pm.

mehhh

got it fine in adelaide channel 501

Has anybody heard/seen a reason as to why Foxtel/Austar did not show the games last night?

Funnily enough if you turned to Foxsports 1 at 11:30 they showed the whole replay which means that they recieved the feed and managed to record it.

WT?

squabble with free to air maybe??

ACTSAINTER · Sat 19 Feb 2011 12:20pm

Thats what I was thinking too , doesnt bode well for Friday night games on Main event during H&A if this keeps up

Encryption error was what a few of my mates were getting from Foxtel when they spoke to them on the phone.

sounds like bs to me.

Not good enough. You pay for a service you expect to be delivered the service, I wonder if you just 'decided' to have an error and didn't pay them one month, would they just let it go if you called it an 'encryption error'.

Didnt someone say it was on the other Channel 7 HD station. If that was the case maybe Foxtel cant show it.

ACTSAINTER · Sat 19 Feb 2011 12:26pm

Yep so if it was an "encryption error" how did they manage to record it and then broadcast at 1130? Sounds suss to me! That made a lot of people cranky last night especially the Qlders

You really are an idiot. Someone said it in another thread. Maybe they dont have HD TV. I suggest you go back to cleaning and hoping women reporters get raped.

Encoding problem at Foxtel apparently.
