Seven cops it re AFL vs Olympics

If that's the case why even have the 3 digital channels there.
How does Channel 10 get away with showing on Ten HD all of the following whilst something different is being broadcast on SD
Formula One
Nascar
Golf
IPL
All of the above have at times been shown LIVE on HD and replayed on SD which has been great (good work 10).
Ch 10 have also shown regularly movies on their HD channel whilst regular scheduling takes place on their SD channel.

So why can't seven do this? Does it come down to paying for the rights $$$ are they really that tied by the federal government laws.

I have no problem with them showing the football, after all their contract was that they show it.

IMO SBS shits all over ch7 becuse they schedule FULL events and advertise/stick to their schedule so you know what is on and can decide if you want to watch or not.
Channel 7 jumps around so much it just gets frustrating and I'm finding online streaming is so much more rewarding.

Speedy - it's not a conspiracy, Channel 7 had the rights to the NSL back in the 1990s I believe, and have recently admitted that they deliberately didn't show the games because they were concerned about football's market share.

I love the hypocrisy about how we're such a sporting nation...when really if it's not football, cricket or (if you live in NSW or QLD) rugby, you're pretty much struggling for national recognition.

Why do the 3 digital channels all show exactly the same as the HD channel as well, what is the point of these extra channels?

I was under the impression that they would be using them all to show us different events, but not looking likely at this stage.
