i think the only one we got rid of was big brother

[Phatboy]

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.

Jack Bauer FTW!

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...

[paulr33]

yeah agree

i rememebr when foxtel had no ads....

[Jetdat]

yes even foxtel is struggling these days, if it wasnt for english premier league i would get rid of the damn thing..

but then again free to air tv sucks ass.

[SABBAi]

Even the Aussie version of wipeout is crap in comparison to the US version. Still funny watching tools get punched in the face and falling in mud.

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.

[bombtrack]

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

All TV sucks, the only way I survive is with an epic DVD collection.

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.

Australia has Foxtel...

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...
