Complaint about delayed One HD broadcast

Should've swapped it to the bball as soon as Webber crashed out!!!

Hey Anon, i think One HD is on Foxtel, my brother has Cable and he said he has been recording the games on tv, and seeing as he only has a Foxtel IQ box im assuming thats how he has gotten it.

I gotta admit i dont mind carfino he is good at commentating, i bet the day he goes and we get some lama announcing we will be wishing we had carfino back. i just hate how blunt and for Sydney Carfino is and how anti Adelaide he is, he doesn't hide it much either straight out with it. I always thought a commentator should have a bit more of an unbiased opinion, but thats me.

Speaking of bad commentators what about that AFL commentator that was doing it for foxtel, his name slips my mind at the moment its on the tip of my tongue though. But he made every mistake under the sun didnt know the rules, he was just there because people knew who he was. i thought it was a bit crap.

Ashman, your parents would most likely have cable foxtel. Cable gives you access to the free to air channels ontop of their channels. But country folk would only get Satellite foxtel and as FTA channels are not available on satellite foxtel dont provide them.

wow i cant believe how much of a big issue people think this is LOL. this is ridiculous. the game got played, i could understand if they cut the NBL because F1 went overtime so to bring everything back in line they cut the NBL footage, then yes that would be something to be angry about, but they showed the game, some people are just so damn petty! Wait till an NBL game goes into double OT and another program gets cut off, you will be so happy they showed the whole thing. stop whining ffs

Are the same people who complained Basketball wasn't on Free To Air, the same one complaining about a game that was advertised as "Delayed" being delayed?

Be thankful that OneHD has picked up the broadcast rights.

Considering the NBL was ALWAYS scheduled as delayed after the F1 I have no problem that they delayed it a bit more.

Is it a inconvenience for NBL fans sure, but be thankful that they are showing the game.

Seriously consider how many would be tuning into F1 vs NBL and F1 will always get priority, the race was well worth watching even if Webber crashed out.

I have found the only valid complaint about the NBL not being on foxsports is that the game is no longer reaching viewers in regional Australia which is a real shame because basketball has good grassroots support in our regional population centres. Outside of that the quality of the broadcasts appear quite similar.

The broadening of digital channels into the country over the next 12 months will be welcomed by many who no longer wish to subscribe to pay tv to watch the NBL and as such I expect viewer numbers will improve if One continue to show games next season.

It was never going to be live anyway so stop complaining at least they're showing it.

Great game played on the Gold Coast by the way.

I'm glad the commentators doing the GP telecast told us the basketball would follow.

I have to disagree that foxtel would never delay a telecast because a live broadcast has gone longer than anticipated. I recall it happening frequently, and especially on ESPN with the NBA. Quite often foxtel would not even advise why the particular game was not being shown.

i love the f1 so i cant complain. i just hope the bball is on straight after. id be devo if they cut the race halfway through and went to the basketball, it would be like cutting the basketball off. so they are doing a good job.

LOL thanks for this post.

I went out this week and bought a Hard Disk recorder for the NBL and I got home to check it and it hadn't gone on.

Glad there is a reason!!!

I know, bloody annoying, are they going to play it when the race finishes? i hope so!
