Foxtel taking the Channel 7 feed but no ads? No idea how that will work? Dennis and Bruce will have to comment during the Channel 7 ads for Foxtel feed?

Very weird.

That's what happens now when watching Ch518 or watching a replay on FoxSports.
7 & 10 don't stop commentating during their ad breaks and when you watch it back on Fox you get the bits you don't hear on FTA.
Been doing it for years.

yeah that's right

If you buy a game on DVD you don't get the ads - and the commentators keep yapping  ;D

Great deal delivered by Andy Demetriou. All you guys should be thankful to the hellenic bloodlines for the money that keeps on coming into the game. Demetriou is a legend. ;D

It's great if you can afford PayTV  ;) If FTA is better than it was. FTA being able to use those secondary digi channels is a bonus for FTA viewers  :clapping

However it is a better deal than I thought it would be

I thought Foxtel would only get the picture feed and use there own commentary teams.

To be honest I quite like the IPTV offerings. All 9 games live using Telstra T-Box or your mobile phone. This service may also be available on things like Foxtel for Xbox 360 given it already has Foxtel available for Xbox 360 subscribers (not even T-Box has this yet).
These seem to only be around $20-30 per month for these services, but they've also said there will be a pay per view offering also
Could get a Telstra Nokia N8 with the HDMI port and just plug it directly into your TV

Telstra may have killed the pig with their deal.

They will be able to offer stand alone packages. That will suit people like me who don't want to pay for a heap of poo TV they will never watch. (as long as i can get broadband when i move  :help)

Overall a pretty good package realy. They were also smart enough to group the NT with Vic and Tas, rather than lump us into QLD or SA. It shows a bit of thought and understanding of the markets  :thumbsup

A bit over the place but here is what I got....

All 9 games each week on Foxtel will be live "uninterrupted siren to siren".


Not sure what that means as they will taking the Ch7 feed. Ditto with regard to HD if they are taking Ch7's feed which isn't in HD how can they show it in HD

4 games live on 7 Mate in NSW.

In Tassie we still get no ads. Bruce and co continue to commentate even while the ads are on for other states.

The more you look at this new tv rights deal the more it's vital we finally get our act together onfield within the next couple of years. Nationwide coverage means the big sponsorship dollars will go to clubs who get the prime-time Friday and Saturday nights more than ever. A winning side would provide a major windfall financially to the Club.

The recent pay-tv ratings explains somewhat why Foxtel forked out as much dough as they did for the tv rights. Btw Richmond has 3 of the highest ever rating AFL games on pay-tv which isn't too shabby.

Top 10 most-watched AFL games on pay TV
354,745 - May 7, 2011: Gold Coast v Brisbane Lions
328,436 - August 26, 2007: Essendon v Richmond
317,556 - February 19, 2011: Sydney Swans v GWS Giants
306,827 - April 10, 2011: St Kilda v Essendon
294,922 - July 1, 2007: Collingwood v Hawthorn
288,183 - June 29, 2008: Fremantle v Essendon
285,872 - May 1, 2011: Collingwood v Western Bulldogs
285,127 - May 7, 2011: Richmond v Fremantle
284,355 - April 27, 2008: Hawthorn v Richmond
278,993 - February 9, 2011: GWS Giants v Gold Coast Suns
