Yep, piss poor.

At least the footy is uninterrupted.

They have like 6 ads near the end of a sitcom and then go back to the show for the last 2 minute wrap up ad credits.

We've pulled back our channels, pretty much only watch 111, sky racing, footy or the odd movie, there's plenty of snot on there nowadays.

The footy will be getting interrupted by a big basketball match tonight!
I couldn't have picked a better time to get a case of the man flu for the first time in years and avoid working at the soccer tonight! :D
I must admit the Sports HD channels do look amazing on a 60 inch plasma, I'm enjoying the days coverage from Albert Park this afternoon.

Heaps of ads

Why do the charge for Sky Racing 2? It’s generally the crap races but it annoys me when a race is late and gets shunted

I’d be lost without the HD channels now

We've got an Optus Fetch box with several Fox channels and I'm amazed people pay the amount they do for full Foxtel with the amount of ads they have. They also have a knack of having commercial simultaneously on all channels at the same time, especially during prime time so it doesn't matter where you flick to.
PAFC. Forever.

I haven’t watched anything other than sport in ages.

Has anyone tried switching from normal Foxtel to Foxtel by Telstra to take advantage of the cheap pricing they have at the moment?

$39pm with free installation and free IQ3 seemed a no brainer for me, it will save me shitloads as to what I'd spend at the pub getting frustrated with other "patrons" during games that interest me. Recording will be handy with my work too. Could stream before but didnt have the internet speed to get full HD

$5 a month, the pub is glad I got it, I don't ring them to watch a race for me because of Sha Tin or something LOL.

LOL, we only really watch My name is Earl, Two and a half men (old style), King of Queen, The Office and anything else on that channel, we've see just about the lot now and they have heaps of shit on too in between so we might arsehole it altogether.

I had Foxtel ring me today about installing IQ but I was too busy and told them to call back. Does IQ allow you to access every series of all of the shows currently showing so you can watch them all at once or do you need to wait until it's actually showing before you can watch it or record it? Does that make sense?
So you've seen everything have you?
Yep
Have you ever seen a man eat his own head?
No
Well you haven't seen everything then have you.

Ah I thought you were talking about Foxtel by Telstra - they have the same deal but $100 install. Was wondering whether I could switch between them and get the discounted pricing on offer.
