Foxtel are about as useful as ........

I'm really enjoying the fantastic coverage Foxtel are giving us, 4 games a week during ther season then no games since sunday, the playoffs have been on for 2 weeks and we have seen a grand total of 3 games, this is a flat out disgrace , yesterday for example they had baseball on espn and fox sports at the same time,how do you show less of the playoff than you do during the season. hopefully they show more truck racing and fishing so i can put a straw hat on and drink xxxx , damm them I say ,damm them to hell, anyone having any luck with any net streams in english?

Bit disappointed about the lack of mid week ESPN games recently, but as for Fox Sports not showing the playoffs, I can kind of understand.. it all comes down to the rights obtained and I guess Foxtel wanted to see the ratings of the regular season before forking out god-knows-what type of sums of money for playoff rights.

I am a Foxtel subscriber and today I queried with them what was happening with the playoffs.
I got the following explanation:
1. The NBA games have not been shown due to the fact that Fox/ESPN had been showing the "CRICKET"??? (who cared)
2. NBA Games will resume in about two weeks with the Conference Playoffs?? Why a 2 week delay - the guy I spoke to didn't have an answer.
Personally I think the answer sucks but what do you do - cancel Fox and then miss out.

Yes - ESPN is ####ing ridiculous... I get it in Japan and we can feast out eyes on Bass fishing, cheerleading championships, jumprope championships, and "Ultimate Woodman"... I loved the dig at ESPN in "Dodgeball"...

Woeful...

Rodeo, Truck Racing and Argentine Polo must be what get's people to subscribe, whenever you ring foxtel they give you some diatribe, it's simply not good enough , someone needs a kick in the keester over this.
