Um...

[bluesbreaker]

I thought the Ashes were live for the whole night? What the christ is this cycling bullsh*t? This is f**ked.

 

[OVP]

I CANNOT believe it ... Glenn McGrath is going on a rampage, and what do they have on ? f**king cycling. Who the hell cares !! Put the bloody cricket on you MORONS !!

 

[hotsnow]

It's rediculous, thank god for FoxSports.

 

[Slappy]

I agree

I missed the great man take his 500th wicket because some lollipopers want to watch a load of 45kg nimrods push friggin' bicycles around France!!!!

WTF!!!!

That bloody sucks, i was watching the game on SBS for the first session but skipped the rest. Why didn't channel 7 get the coverage of it

 

[Twizzle]

How good is everyone's reception

I do the right thaing and let the misses watch Austra, so I watch it on SBS and the pucture is sh*t

Mine's pretty crappy. I was watching it on the TV in my room and ive only got rabbit ears .... sooo its pretty average at best for all channels anyway ... but im used to it .. no wonder im going blind at 36 ;-)

 

[Twizzle]

that's not from watching TV, OVP

It was known well in advance that they were going to interrupt it for the TDF, but as I predicted, people didn't hear or didn't realise it, and as such we've got the whingeing the next day. Pity McGrath took his 500th during the time they weren't showing it.

 

[borat]

It still sucks ar*e. I suppose its better than nothing and they do start the coverage at the start of play.

 

[Southern Rooster]

It could be worse. Years ago it never used to be on at all.

Cricket Australia should make it COMPULSORY for the next FTA TV rights contract to include. ALL tests involving Australia are to be shown LIVE. I cannot believe that after years of showing some sub standard tours live on TV in the last 9 months two of the biggest and most looked forward to tours by Australian cricket teams have not been shown. Aust to India and now this Ashes series.

 

[choc_soldier]

I mean, who actually watches the Tour De France anyway? But it'll only be on for a few more weeks... why don't they wait until after each day's play to show it?

It's a bloody outrage.... A NATIONAL DISGRACE!

I knew about it. But I'm still pissed off about it, as I can't afford Foxtel.

 

[PARRA_FAN]

Could be worse, I remember Channel 7 were doing it, and put on Worlds Greatest Commercials before the match was over. :x

Thank christ for Fox Sports. [-o< They show replays.

 

[choc_soldier]

SBS are showing highlights too, apparently at 5pm every day.

 

[Twizzle]

Fox are replying the whole game every day

 

[choc_soldier]

The whole day's play? That's very noble of them.

 

[forward pass]

SBS finally get something worth watching (besides the sex) and they interupt the best bit for a bike race....outrageous!

 

[aussies1st]

Get use to this as the tour de france is on for a while longer

 

[lockyno1]

It is only on for the first test! It is just the way it is when SBS has exclusive rights to the tour de france. They are trying their best to suit both audiences. It is better than nothing guys!
