Bit behind the 8 ball. Foxtel set up a dedicated channel for 24/7 broadcasting. Been running since monday ;) 

Yeah, Bathurst "content"... live only started today. It's just Fox Sports 5 (the usual motorsport channel).

Used to be 

 

They finally "begged/borrowed/stole" enough content to make it worth my coin.

 

I was totally against it and would watch FTA or stream all the V8, F1, MotoGP, WSBK etc but damn - they do real well with it all now and have so much additional content for each of those that I find it worthwhile.

 

Have the app on 3 laptops and a couple of phones/tablets (3/5 devices included with the STB/Sub) as well, so can have the races in whatever room/little room/patio/camp site I want to be at to watch it.

 

Let me know another way to watch practices, qualifying, support classes and the actual races live and I'll happily ditch the subscription.

You certainly find out who the footy nuts are in my company.  There's heaps of staff over here with Foxtel only for the footy.

 

Being Wait aWhile, the old Dockers versus Eagle's slagging is quite fun to watch and instigate :)

 

Still no-one has a retort to when the Dockers will win a premiership, boy do they clutch at straws when they try to answer though.

literally it is only useful for the live sport.

 

and the way they beg for customers not to leave, by cutting the price in half (or more) for example is just offending people.

 

interesting though as foxtel bought a lot of IP addresses, australias largest buyer iirc. so at least they realised they must deliver content online.

 

also the quality of most channels is RUBBISH, the satellite cannot handle more bandwidth. they had to reduce quality across the board in order to fit in the HD channels.

 

but seriously the amount of ads too, I help businesses get rid of foxtel and implement internet based alternatives all the time. they get sick of their music channel having life insurance ads on them and what not.

 

/end rant but basically if you have foxtel and aren't into the live sports, you're a moron.

Foxtel make a sickening amount of money from mining companies too. I've done plenty of tv systems and some of them sign up for so many channels and then have to pay extra for all the rooms that are able to watch it!
