That's interesting. All the girls will go crazy on free Gossip Girl and Sex in the City lol

Anberlin · July 18th, 2009, 02:33 AM

Yay Gossipgirl. Surprised Privileged got up there and gross @ the Vampire Diaries? That's part of CW's fall. Should have had Melrose Place or The Beautiful Life, but Vampire Diaries. Ewww.

I wouldn't just say Fox8, but yeah certainly a selection of essentially the basic entertainment package from Foxtel.

i laugh at the fact that channel 9 think this will take business away from foxtel. no-one subscribes to foxtel exclusivly for this type of content. its mostly for sport/movies/world news/kids channels/music channels etc.

plus, with foxtel launching 20 more channels this year compared to the 3 new commercial channels, there's no competition.

nikko · July 19th, 2009, 11:21 PM

They better be new channels and not just 'HD' or '+2'

There will be a number of new HD channels because that is the future of TV. Not to much of the +2's.

Anyways I have been keeping an eye out for info;

These are both about a survey which Foxtel asked a few people to do for them, which has revealed what Foxtel are currently intending to do with their extra channels when the new satellite goes up next month.

EPL I strongly doubt, none of the FTA channels could do the great red button trick anyway. Best you could achieve under the current set ups would be 4 I think (I think SBS/ABC have space for 1 HD and 3 SD channels) or 3 for the Others (1 HD and 2 SD)
A-League is tied up to Fox Sports for quite a while (along with the socceroos), 2012 I believe. Which sucks donkey balls if you ask me.

Just curious, like in the US where analogue cable can still be used to receive channels on old TV, is the case the same in the UK if 1 isn't satisfied with the Freeview choices when the switchover is complete?

beastjim · July 20th, 2009, 03:25 PM

No idea about the UK. This is talking about Australia who stole the name from the UK.

Here in Australia, all the old Analogue channels are being redone in digital with the freeview brand name, which can be shown on an old TV if you wish. So essentially it's not really a worry here in Australia.

ross_the_man · July 20th, 2009, 03:37 PM

Is Anberlin the only female poster on the Ozscrapers?

If One could even just get the French or German league or something like that I'd be stoked. Champions League football is not enough, even though it is the ultimate.

beastjim · July 20th, 2009, 03:50 PM

I think One could snag some of the Italian league as I believe that is based on club contracts and Setanta and ESPN don't own all of them between them. Otherwise the rest of the majors are sown up with Setanta and ESPN. If Setanta (not that they will, because they are completely separate from the UK operation which did fall over) did fall over it would leave a pretty big hole in Football coverage, which One could look to steal some of.

There are one or two other females floating around the forum, certainly in a minority through.

ross_the_man · July 20th, 2009, 04:00 PM

Italian league would be so good. What about the J-League? Who are they linked to?

We need some more females in here if you ask me!

I think you would be surprised how many viewers channel 9 lost when it axed The Young and the Restless. When it moved to foxtel the number of people ordering foxtel jumped quite a bit. There are alot of people out there that do get cable purely for channels like W, many would be be happy if they only had to buy a couple of channels for $10 and do away with the basic package.
