I was thinking the exact thing. Every day I sit down to dinner and TV... and I am forever channel surfing from crap to more crap. Even the ABC and SBS have been dropping the ball.

The only thing I watch these days is Top Gear, Iron Chef, and the new simpsons.

The proposed extra channel for each network, taking us to a total of 15 channels, due to start next month is only a good idea if they choose to populate it with interesting stuff. They can't even do it with 1 channel/network at the moment, let alone three. It's sad but true that a country with 20mil people just doesn't have enough infrastructure and funding to compete with entertaining shows from overseas.

That doesn't mean that we need to import US stuff. I would love there to be an Asian channel, where asian movies especially Kung Fu movies, wacky Jap gameshows and best-motoring style car racing can be shown. Seriously if you have been to asian countries, their huge range of free-to-air TV is so much more interesting to me, even though I can't understand it.

yeah i hate free to air tv...thats why i got foxtel..all i watch on normal tv is the new underbelly and south park...even foxtel has some shitty shitty shows...but we put some much crap on free to air always reality shows which suck balls bigtime especially friken australian idol...thank god big brother is gone thats all i can say..

Foxtel is a f**king joke these days as well.

The idea of PAY TV is to have no ads, as you're paying to watch it.

The ad breaks on Foxtel are no shit longer than free to air ad breaks these days. When we first got Foxtel all those years ago, a break would be 15 seconds if that, and pretty much only be advertising the next show...

Just had dinner and saw the same rubbish mate, thank god for teh interwebz and torrents.

Agreed, but Stephen Conroy wants something done about the p2p filtering with his net filtering plan.

I haven't watched any FTA TV for 3 or so years. Only TV I'm watching are Chinese SAT & my dad got a couple of Chinese TV streaming programs, all the good Chinese TV series are on there with NO ADS!!! :( (Also a bunch of America stuff as well, although its dubbed in Chinese) & you don't need to wait for it to finish download b4 you can watch it like BT.

I am still using Azureus(Vuze) but yeah it's turned into a convoluted piece of shit. Is uTorrent the way forward?

I'm still using it, I just set the interface mode to classic & that way it doesn't load all the other GUI & Vuze crap, just plain old Azureus like it was back in version 2.

Does uTorrent do Upnp? The main reason I'm using Aureus is the fact that the build-in Upnp works very well with my D-link router.

I'm with ya Paul!

Hate faken free to air tv, except when Family Guy and The Simpsons are on. + I got all the Family Guy DVD's, which are uncut.

Rage on ABC is good when they play the good music or get a good host in who I like their style. Now its just shit music.

Little Brittan is good on SBS or ABC, I can't remember...

SBS has good stuff like South Park, Mythbuster, Fat Pizza and Top Gear is good for a laugh.

Been around a friends house and watched FOXTEL, its just repeat after repeat...

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
