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...

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
