How do you avoid being ripped by foxtel.. NBA was on standard fax package then they moved to espn and charged more now they are slowly moving to HD and want to charge more .. soon there will be no nba available unless u have 1q2 + hd.. pi**ed off.
Does anyone know which channel the Final games will be on..
What other alternatives are there..

Yep. FreeView plus internet = complete NBA coverage. and did i mention it was free. I had bad experiences with Fox and really all i had it for was sport. So it made no sense to pay 75 a month to watch avg basketball coverage.

I'll be giving mine up after the finals...I'm already on the platinum package and they can't give me my ESPN in HD for no extra? stuff 'em.

Spare a thought for country basketball fans who don't get One HD. We have no choice but to watch ESPN (on Austar)or via the internet (and even then access and appropriate speed is not guaranteed).

I have negotiated my monthly package down to $30 which includes ESPN if that helps.
I just told them that no NBL and with ONE HD showing NBA i did not need it.

we have fox HD and get more games than enough.
college, nba, euro - and wnba about to start.
you are out of touch - when did your work last give something away for nothing - get with the programme / economy.
fox do shape shift a little - I remember they used to push "no ads".
they have always advised of package changes.

Pigs - people have a right to complain if their paying good money for a service - moreso if that's the only option they have for NBA for wahtever reason - if no one complains - how else are changes for improvement going to be achieved ?
