Too many ads

It hurts, but :spoton:

No doubt they must have to cram in more adverts to pay for what they've outlayed - but f*ck me dead it wasn't just one or two in a row like ten used to do. They still managed to time the commercial breaks with major events though...that must be a contracted requirement :spoton:

Overall it was fairly good coverage, no doubt after a few rounds they'll be on the ball.

Way way too many ads and also not broadcast in 1080i. Sound is also mpeg2 rather than 5.1. Would have expected better :spoton:

Did you notice that the name on channel 70 changed from "7 HD Digital" to 7 SD Digital" for the broadcast - was the same yesterday. Miss the v8 rumble coming from the rear speakers too :spoton:

That Grant Denyer guy sh*ts me!

So if Crompton is doing the V8 commentary for 7, who's doing the F1 commentary on 10? Not that Leigh Diffey guy?!?!

Not that Crompton did much anyway. They mostly just streamed the ITV broadcast as is.

I recorded the V8's on my IQ and watched it 45 mins after the start. By the end of the race I had managed to fast forward at 30x through the ads.

I think 7 did a good job, I feel sorry for Grant and Mark as they had to be back in Sydney for the Sunrise show at 6am this morning.

Yeh, the ad breaks really sucked, too frequent and too long. I was getting that pissed off I decided to time one of the breaks. With less than 10 laps to go, as things were getting interesting, one of the breaks was 3 minutes and 20 seconds long. I hope 7 monitor the viewers sentiments and lift their game. 10 was far more aware of the viewers preference for minimal interruption to motor racing viewing pleasure. Oi Channel 7! Lift ya game!!
