    Bloody Foxtel

    Here I am, paying $90 a month for a cable service that has NOTHING, I mean SWEET ALL on

    Since the demise of Fox Footy, it's been a waste of money IMO. At least they had repeats on during the off-season and if you are living in a NRL dominated state like QLD you knows what's going on (trade, draft, etc, etc....)

    Any of out fellow AULRO Foxtel subscribers have this feeling? Feel like ****ing it off and living with 5 channels of crap TV. I can whinge about it, at least I'll be better off in pocket and I can spend more time talking to you blokes on this 'ere site

    We don't have Foxtel however I wouldn't mind the Discovery channel. Bugger the rest though.
    Between working on your Rover, driving your Rover and then telling us all about it here how on Earth do you get your moneys worth watching Foxtel?

    I have a contract with Telstra (never again I will say) and got Foxtel with it. I get cheap broadband as long as I have Foxtel, but feel like blowing my coin and tell them to shove there Foxtel right up there clacker

    See your point Utemad, maybe I am a bit mad myself. Discovery channel is okay, and a couple of the others. But not worth $90 a month.

    One of the reasons I DON'T have Foxtel or similar is that I don't want sport, news, cartoon, or music TV channels so why should I pay for crap I'd never watch.

    I'd only want Discovery and National Geographic channels - maybe British comedy but no movie channels, etc.

    Oh, I went to the save our sport website and said that if you want sport, pay for it, don't put it on free to air TV.

    Austar

    We have austar i dont watch it much ( I'd much rather be outside) and i dont like to watch, music, cartoons or reality tv. There is no good sport on until next Footy season and V8 supercars are on free to air. The movie channels only show a couple of movies worth showing and the tv shows that you like that are shown a repeats. My parents watch stuff like Hogans Heroes, Eastenders, Coronation Street, Emerdale i only like the shows on there like Kingswood Country, Mother and Son and Hey Dad and when it was on Gomer Pyle. Otherwise if i had a say in it we would get Austar disconnected and put the money towards a Landy.

    TV is sport!
    It should be on everywhere, you should go into a shopping centre and marvel at the bigs screens replaying cricket matches. All radio stations should have to broadcast sport between the ads and substantial discounts on everything should be offered to those who can list all the Allen Border and Dally M medalists!

    P.S I do not consider syncronised swimming to be a sport so it would be excused from being broadcast.

    It happens with foxtel quite often. Some nights, irrespective of how many channels you have there is sweet FA (your words LOL ) on. All the "Special Interest" channels however are fantastic... loveee them

    We don't get free to air. So if it's not on AUSTAR we don't see it.
