Foxtel V8 Supercars.

Same, I thought todays FTA coverage of all of the racing was awesome!

I watched the best coverage Ive ever seen today,they show all the events from the day,all live,and no adds during the events,only had a few adds between races.
As there are no adds,they have more time to show inside the pits and interview team owners/engineers etc.
MOST IMPRESSED.
Oh,and didnt the Fords go well today:D
:D:D:D:D

Channel 10 just plug into foxtels coverage. Have you not picked up on the graphics colours etc? Now that foxtel own a significant part of network tens shares, it game over.
It's not tens coverage at all!!

Fully aware of that.
The difference is coverage started at 4.30am WA time and showed all the practice/qualiying sessions of all divisions(ie utes,Formula 4,GT Championship,Dunlop series,Carrera Cup) and no adds.Free to air started at 10am in WA,unsure how much they showed.

So you're saying that foxtels coverage started at 04:30, but ch10 started the exact same "coverage" (or feed) at 10:00?

Just saying there is no way the free to air coverage showed what content that was on Foxtel,plus the free to air would have chopped what they broadcast to bits to put adds in.

Absolutely correct.
Foxtel coverage was ALL day on Friday, & looking at it, it's actually 7.00am- 4.00pm Friday, & 7.30am- 6.05pm Sat & Sun, with VERY sparce ad breaks,....absolutely kills any coverage ever seen on FTA,....actually it's on now,....practise will be on shortly!!
I'm a happy man, Pickles.

It's all happening, some new faces in Top Ten,....NO 888!!!....Skaifey & Russel just gave 888 an amazing "serve" re the apparent disorganization happening in that Team at the moment,(couldn't believe it, they weren't holding back!).....Craig qualified 22nd!!...Ya don't hear this stuff on FTA!!
All is good, quali at around 1.30.

That is what they want,pay more,doesn't matter how much more,$5.00 a month is something,better than nothing.

As for FTA,it is on again here today between 12.00 and 6.00pm as it was yesterday.

Well guys, I don't work for Foxtel, it took me a while to convince myself, & I'm glad I did.
"Paying for something that was free before"....Someone's missing the point here.
"Before" (FTA) is nowhere near as good or as comprehensive as what Foxtel provides. ya simply weren't getting anywhere near this level of coverage before on FTA "before"...ever,..... 31 hours of coverage this W.E., compared with 12 hours on Ch 10!... plus S.C. programs on Foxtel during the week.
Skaifey & Russel are brilliant together,...the whole presentation is excellent,....as V8SC said it would be,....& which I previously didn't believe, or wanna know about!!
Ya don't want it,...no worries,...I'm just saying that for me, as a person that likes V8S.C., it's been the correct decision for me, well worth having, and a real cut above the FTA coverage on Ch 10......even the lack of ads makes it worthwhile!!
