[Joshuatheeel]

if you get win tv instead of nine the dragons game is the live game tomorrow night. this is definitely the case for win viewers on the south coast and wollongong. not happy

 

[parra-matters]

well you can't blame nine for that really.

 

[Rogue.9]

It's only a short 2 hour drive for them to get to the game.

 

[Western_Eel]

you can pick up both win and nine from wollongong anyway

 

[parra-matters]

[parra-matters]

if you live on the gold coast you have the best of both worlds you can get 9 brisbane and NBN north NSW so it's like viewers choice.

[Bazal]

It's the same for those of us in Canberra...f**king disgraceful, agenda driven sh*t IMO

 

[bradeel]

Or Melbourne. They tune us in to the first game at 12.15am!!!

And damn Foxtel are not showing either game before 3.30am due to the cricket

I noticed a while back watching the Footy Show from Sydney, that the AFL Footy Show was on High Def Digital CH90 and the ARL Footy Show was on Stand Def Digital CH9, at the same time.

Why can't they just alter the two games between these two Digital channels, that way all supporters can watch whatever game they want first?

I think it has to do with that anti-siphoning thingo.

Certain content cant be shown exclusively to digital users.



"Under the current legislation, more than 20 categories of sporting events -- including the Olympic and Commonwealth Games, AFL and NRL premiership matches, rugby union Tests, most national team cricket and the Melbourne Cup -- may not be shown on pay TV or digital multi-channels before free-to-air broadcasters have obtained the rights or shown them on their main channels. "

Thats why channel 10 and ONE HD show the same AFL game at the same time.

Thanks SDM, I didn't realise there was this legislation.

But if they can show the Brisbane audience one game at 7.30pm and Sydney audience the other game at the same time, surely they could offer the choice whether it be in Bris or Syd. The game isn't live anyway !

Cheers EELRAM
