They have replied to my email about the programming channel change for the Reds v Crusaders match.

They should be in politics (some may say that they already are via Rupert Murdoch's influence).

Their reply could be distilled down to "All care taken, but no responsibility given".

They did the same with a Reds match earlier in the year. Think it was Reds v Stormers? i tweeted Clarkie and got a seemingly pre-bake answer back sating 'only a one off'. Probably got a lot of tweets about it and frankly I was able to switch to another channel and watch it. Obviously a lot of pressure from AFL/Loig for channel space.

I can't stand these pricks. Elitist fuckwits.

I wonder how many viewers watched the game on delay? Believe it or not, the recording finished at about the 78 minute mark of the frigging game.


How incredibly crazy is this? If you did not also record "Rugby Central", you missed the last few minutes. Deeply dissatisfying.

Which game? It's interesting, I watched both round one games and the Highlanders v Blues game on the Foxtel app, and only had the full-time wrap - the other two just finished at full time, maybe 30 seconds of chat after but that was it.

This is pretty common on many channels both Foxtel and FTA. Heaps of things don't run to schedule (live sport is certainly the worst).

I always do +20 or record the show afterwards for live sport. For NFL you often need to do more than that!

I used to record the NZ games from 5:00 to 7:00 (5:30 if you live on the east coast) and then the Aussie game from 7:00 to 9:00. But I've noticed lately that the game start is scheduled at 7:40 (the QLD game was 7:45) and so now I have to research start times to schedule my two hour record times. I've found Superbru seems to give accurate start times and its easy to access for me because I am always checking my tips.

It looks planned to me. Last season recording and watching the Saffers, you ALWAYS got the result to the last game before moving on the game you were replaying.

This didn't change when you record the replays either.
