I suspect that's the replay times and they haven't put the actual Live games times in the program yet.

There is no FTA at all which is a shame as I thought One would've picked it up through FOX Sports unless if something changes

Most people on here would probably be AFL fans as well as basketball fans you know

I'm sure it will be the case, relax people.

All games. Live. In High Definition.

I think the games will be live, just hold up a bit.

"Live"

Don't worry yet, if you don't see game 1 tip off, then I might be worried

"Fox showing more live sport than ever before shows how much of a monopoly and toxic stranglehold they've got on sport (and other programs) in this country.

You can be a sport fan without wishing to suckle at the teat of Murdoch. But each to their own."

Why do you even care? No matter what you do, in the end your money is going to go to some rich asswipe. At;east it is all in one place. It's not like the service is flawed.

Instead of having to go through the hassle of picking the shows/events I want to watch, Foxtel has done it for me, bundling them all together in 3 or 4 packages. It's just so damn convenient!

Why anyone would complain about it, is beyond me. Sure, it's a monopoly and an old-world business model that us Australians are forced to swallow, but Foxtel are doing all this for our benefit!

Don't get all angry at the previous poster, it's not their fault your poor!

The whole point of running a business is to provide a product to make a profit. It would be silly for Foxtel not to try to maximise profits, and an expectation that all TV should be provided for free is also silly.

On the other hand, it would be nice if there was competition, although it would devalue products and potentially force people to pick and choose which provider to go with depending on what TV content they prioritise (like with online streaming, I like content that's exclusively on Netflix and content that's exclusively on Stan but wouldn't pay for both). With that however, would be lower prices.

Just for the record, I was being sarcastic, I wouldn't touch Rupe's monopoly for $10/month.

The future is direct-to-the-client streaming. Foxtel is hanging on to this monopoly for dear life, and screwing Australia over in the process. Its last great cash-grab.

Agree, ripped off for pay tv and telecommunications due to the monopoly in Australia. THink the season is going to just more of the same after watching the blitz anyway, bells and whistles and no substance and no different on court to past years. No rule changes to change the game and same umpiring rubbish. May go to a game or two but unless live streaming then I am pretty much out now due to the scheduling and lack of service

"Not everyone has a spare $200+$50 to watch TV 2/7 worth of tv content in crappy SD designed to make you want to "upgrade" to HD.

Foxtel or nothing is not a choice, it's the very definition of monopolisation.

If you want foxtel that's fine, but don't get all judgemental and elitist at those that can't get it or don't want to be forced to get it."

I am curious about that. Standard definition foxtel on my 4K Ultra HD TV looks absolutely dreadful. I only really bother with the HD channels. How would you say that the SD is 'designed' to appear that way? Because I feel there is some substance to it. Standard definition FTA doesn't look nearly as bad as standard definition foxtel. I called someone that told me Ultra HD TV's are "too advanced" for Standard Def, but I thought that sounded like crock as soon as I heard it.

Still can't set NBL games to record. Leaving to country for two weeks on Friday. Really hope this gets sorted out by then.

Why can't you set them to record? I just set up Adelaide-NZ to record, no problem.
