Games Coverage

I paid for Foxtel Commonwealth Games - and I can say is that I am absolutely disappointed -- it is the most amatuer thing thing I have ever witnessed!

All they do is show "live" games - ie there are no repeats or highlights (apart from the "Gold Highlights: channel, which is pretty boring, with no real commentary).

My favourite part is that for a couple of hours they will dedicate a channel to one sport, ie Basketball, but between games, the camera focuses on the middle of the court for 30 mins not moving, with no replays of the previos, no commentary -- just nothing.

Additionally, the advertised times are always way off the mark, so making plans to watch anything is impossible.

The coverage is crap - but unfortunately as we are huge Basketball and Netball fans in our household, we are begrudlingly putting up with it.

$49.95 ---- What A Rip Off! They only positive I can take form it is that I didn't pay the $65 fee they are currently charging!

Hanging Round

Lisa Alexander didn't throw her hat in the ring?

Bevo would've been my first choice, but Goorj has always been a great coach and recently broadened his experience even more, so I'm not unhappy with this.
