I think they have moved things around enough now that we actually end up with entertaining racing without the artificial means

just a bit of journolistic licence, but do agree with you.

Always leave them on a happy note.

Just programming my Foxtel, and I noticed that on the Sat of Darwin there is coverage on Ch7, but come Sunday there is no LIVE coverage on Ch7 in Sydney????

Sunday Darwin race is on dely, on at 10.40pm on Sunday, cause of the ping pong
Thanks TC that is what u call getting the coverage to the fans.

peckstar · 9 Jun 2011, 06:51 (Ref:2894057)

it will be on Mate, with a replay at 10.40 pm. (as it is in all states allowing for time zones)

Wazzi · 9 Jun 2011, 11:17 (Ref:2894210)

Yes but not everyone can get Mate, where i live the digital signal is hopeless, dropping out constantly and quite often unwatchable. there fore i miss out. Not happy

peckstar · 9 Jun 2011, 11:53 (Ref:2894239)

sounds like you need a new antenna or even a booster. the booster you can do yourself

Hence my comments about the coverage, Sydney is the most populated state and VE$A are trying to break into the market here, and TC & Ch7 treat us like this.

I feel sorry for the other states that have missed out over the years due to a stupid game of ping pong.

peckstar · 10 Jun 2011, 07:28 (Ref:2894915)

psst dont let the people in sydney know, but V8S are already in Sydney, that dont need to break into the market

and how have they treated you, they put the race on for you, its on Mate, otherwise you would have missed out.

Most people even in a place as backwards as sydney have digital tv now, if not they should prepare

I think it might be time to take a teaspoon full of cement...

pecstar, mate I will be in Darwin, but my complaint is that TC comes out two weeks ago saying better TV coverage for the next to rounds, and then Ch7 dish this up all cause of a game of boring ping pong

peckstar · 10 Jun 2011, 09:24 (Ref:2894979)

then you only read half what TC said. he said it will be on Mate.

I dont get why that is a problem, this is the new millenium, we have more channels. a big chunk of the viewing public no longer have analog tv anyway

more than 3/4 of us have access to Mate and one would argue that the people who dont are not really the market anyway (as a generalisation)

bluesport · 11 Jun 2011, 22:30 (Ref:2896167)

Most people will be unable to record it also, "Mate" is high definition and most people don't have HD recording capacity.

peckstar · 11 Jun 2011, 22:52 (Ref:2896193)

so bluesport, let me get this right, people wont be able to record it to watch it later, so they put it on channel 7 at 10.30ish for them to watch later. (and even record if they want)

I fail to see the issue.

No big deal.......the only issue is that for those that can't watch it live, by 10:30pm most people will already know the result, so why bother at all? Most of NSW can't stand watching AFL, why it is forced upon us is a mystery.

Kingair · 12 Jun 2011, 02:06 (Ref:2896345)

Might have to pack a jumper southerners, only getting to 26 on Monday.

The locals will be flocking to Casuarina to stock up on flannelette pyjamas, ugg boots, beanies etc.

are you serious, or just looking for a reason to have a moan,

more people watch AFL in sydney that watch the v8s, sorry thats just the ways things are, get used to it because the aFL will be taking over next year.

if they dont want to watch the AFL they can switch over to Mate and watch the v8s. if they dont have a digital recorder they can wait until 10.30 and do what people have done since VCR were invented, not go online and look at the news or they can go and spend $30 and get a set top box from Aldi or dick smith and stick it in between the antennae and the VCR and move into the 21st century

i fear for Australia if all Sydney siders whine so much

As I said, no big deal.........If so many watch AFL I wonder why I haven't met any?.........and you seem to do a pretty good rendition of whinging on hear yourself.

Come to Darwin and meet me. Or next time I go to a southern round I will say hello.

Lol.......You're a friendly fellow, but pecky and I were discussing the issue in the context of Sydney.........as you well know.

Kingair · 13 Jun 2011, 12:45 (Ref:2898027)

Colder than a mother-in-laws kiss on Christmas Day.

Hope it warms up later in the week for the V8's.

platinum motors · 14 Jun 2011, 19:45 (Ref:2899037)

What are the people that don't get 7mate meant to do ?

peckstar · 14 Jun 2011, 21:58 (Ref:2899103)

Watch it at 10.30

go and buy a $30 set top box and move into the new milenium

sizzle · 15 Jun 2011, 03:07 (Ref:2899186)

As a matter of curiosity and a genuine question as I don't know. Do country viewers get all the digital channels or is it only the major population centres?
