Rab WOT? Moderating Team 10,981 Member For: 11y 9m 15d Gender: Male Location: Frankston, 3199 Posted 31/07/16 02:54 PM Share Posted 31/07/16 02:54 PM (have tried to suggest/organise forum groups for Sandown, Phillip Island, Bathurst before and had zero interest/feedback - have even offered catering and accommodation for free. Last one I even offered topless barmaids and there was still no interest.) There used to be (not sure if it's changed) a HUGE veto on any discussion on organising anything that didn't go through a "Cruise Controller" on the forum. Even asking if anyone in the same town wanted to catch up for a drive :S If Keith was a real NAZI and following the rules the he would have warned @mightbuyaford by now that suggesting we head to Bathurst together was something he'd need to vette via a CC (met dags's wrath for the first time when I posted in the SA forum - "am headed to SA next weekend, anyone want to go for a cruise?" - got shot down really, really quick) So yeah - am up for a Bathurst meetup - send your suggestions (maybe we need a thread?) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to work awesome with FTA and analogue. As soon as it went digital there's a lag (either huge lag or friggin chasm lag) between what we see live and what we see on the screen. Only thing I miss from the changeover from aerial TV to digital TV - no more simulcasts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the scare/fear. Enforcement got a bit draconian at times. People were told to "take it to facebook" They did. Thus - Vic Chat: "Good morning"..... "Hi"..... edit: not quite ^^, but once they went to facebook they didn't come back 5 minutes ago, k31th said: Yeah, Foxtel Go would be about 1min behind... but still better than no visibility at all. Digital has zero synchronisation - 5 different screens would have 5 different timelines Yep - Still awesome for stats and replays and the other side of the track. Bathurst is still FTA so a simple TV dongle gets you back into the real live action Edited 31/07/16 03:07 PM by Rab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
