I blame the AFL, not for the scheduling but for the broadcasting agreement. The AFL rights are the most sought after product in the country. When Andrew sat down at the table it should have been non negotiable that the Sydney swans would be broadcast live into NSW homes every week. Sure the AFL can help by not putting it up against friday night rugby league, but thats where it should end. In my opinion channel 10 should have the exclusive rights to all swans, lions, CG and GWS games. Channels 7 and 9 would delay the telecast of the grand final if they thought that they could pull a few more viewers with something else.Comment

You can multichannel but only in HD, hence why the netball that was being shot in HD for One could be shown.
Most AFL games at the momment are SD and C7 have not to my knowledge broadcast in native 1080i any AFL games so would not be able to do this as once off at this stage, plus they do not even have their seperate HD channel up and running yet anyway.

Yep, they stuffed up when they accpeted the C9 deal initially not thinking that C7 or C10 would match it.
When the did, all C7 and C10 had to do was offer the same terms which basically meant the AFL was stuffed when it came to scheduling games with no flexibility,
Hence why they can't move the round 22 games to suit the first week of the finals.

Then show the SD AFL games on the HD channel. Maybe I'm missing something here, but it shouldn't be this complicated, outdated legislation or not.You can multichannel but only in HD, hence why the netball that was being shot in HD for One could be shown.

You can't that is not allowed in the legislation, Foxtel would have a gigantic hissy fit if they allowed at this stage the FTA's to pure multi channel.
It will come, but first the FTA's will have to be willing to give up the sport anti-siphoning list.
At this stage no one (including the Federal Government) are really sure if they want to do that as it could end up with Foxtel or it's associated Pay TV content partners owning all the sporting rights in this country.
It just ain't that simple as flicking on a switch as you think.

Maybe we are asking too much of c7?? Why would we want to see our team live in their home state?? Seriously, it is free to air TV so we dont pay for it so what right do we have to complain... We should feel lucky that they are showing it at all.
To cut their losses, they will can the footy altogether and after the V8s go straight to that Paul Mercurio garbage thats been on lately. The blokes a bloody dancer what does he know about cooking!!
It just shows the AFL/c7 contempt for their fans/customers. If you had to pay for c7 like it was fox, you tell them to bash it in their whatsie after 5mins of viewing.Comment

Why would Foxtel complain about Channel 7 using an HD channel though? It's not like they'd be showing both games, one a Foxtel retransmission. If Channel 7 have bought the rights to one game, they should be able to show it live on one of their channels.You can't that is not allowed in the legislation, Foxtel would have a gigantic hissy fit if they allowed at this stage the FTA's to pure multi channel.

EDIT: By the way, if it would keep it within the boundaries of the laws, couldn't they show both the delayed and shortened telecast at 3, as they do now, and telecast it live and complete on the digital or HD channel?Officially on the Reid and Sumner bandwagon!Comment

So anyway, I will be able to watch both ch7 games live in my loungeroom this weekend but no-one in Australia will. AbsurdComment

What's everyone complaining about!
At least we get to see the mighty Melbourne Demons take on the Carlton blues live on saturday afternoon in a match that will shape the finals and give us a look at a what should be the grand final match up in that last week of september!WE NEED CHEESE!!!Comment

Any chance of streaming ??? Thats so funny that you get it live
Now THAT is ridiculous! If anyone can find anyone who will be streaming the game live it would be much appreciated. What a way for NSW to promote AFL along with delayed telecasts on the weekend,the 2 inchs they give us in the Telegraph today is also a joke. So along with paying membership, buying digital tv, paying for foxtel sport chanels, increasing my download limit, I think next year I have to start special ordering the Sun.

- RWO Forum Rules (PLEASE READ FIRST)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your posts may be deleted, without warning or notification at moderator discretion, for breach of any of the RWO rules set out below. If you have any questions or concerns about post/thread removal, please feel free to PM a moderator or Email us at [email protected]
Do not post your queries on the main boards. Such posts WILL be removed, without further explanation.
Constant breaches of the rules will result in your access to RWO being reduced as the Moderator / Administrator group see fit. RWO uses the vBulletin Infraction System to deal with breaches of the RWO rules. All Infractions have an expiry date. Such an expiry date may be as short as 10 days or as long as 6 months. Multiple infractions, depending on the number of points a member accumulates, WILL result in temporary bans from the site and CAN result in a permanent ban. Please note that some Infractions have an expiry date of "Never" and WILL result in the RWO member being banned from the site immediately.
1) Signatures / Avatars
Keep signatures under 4 lines of standard sized fonts (if you must use large fonts, use just one line) as a courtesy to all users who read the forums.
Do not use signatures / avatars as an opportunity to make jibes at other forum members. This will be considered to be sniping (refer Rule 6 below). You may not refer to another RWO forum member, or quote anything they have written, without permission from that member. Using an anonymous tag does not make it acceptable. If quotes are not removed, we reserve the right to remove them, without notification. If in doubt as to whether something is acceptable or not, don't use it!
2) Spamming
Advertising for personal commercial purposes is NOT permitted. Placing links to sites that other users may find of interest / personal websites is acceptable within reason (ie constantly posting links will be frowned upon).
3) Deliberately avoiding the RWO swear filter
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. A swear filter is in place to mask offensive words and phrases. This swear filter contains offensive words and variant spellings of offensive words to stop you from deliberately avoiding the swear filter. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter through alternate spelling of offensive words. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter by devising systems to fool the swear filter in its recognition of offensive words.
4) Inappropriate Language / Excessive swearing
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. Moderators will let some minor cases through. Anything deemed to be of poor taste or of an offensive nature may be removed at moderator discretion. Consider all members when posting; what you think is funny, not all members will feel the same way.
5) Trolling / Baiting
Deliberately posting on threads in an attempt to stir / bait other RWO users will not be tolerated.
6) Flaming / Sniping / Abuse / Insulting other members
If you have to have a go at someone personally, take it off the boards. Everyone else doesn't need to see your hissy fits. Remember, "Play the ball, not the man". This includes spouses or partners. If you don''t like a post, don't flame, snipe, abuse or insult in response - it makes the job of moderation much harder. Report the post through the forum reporting mechanism (click on the Triangle with the exclamation mark) and let the Moderator / Administrator group deal with it.
7) Legal issuesa) The Moderator / Administrator group will keep a very close eye on threads discussing rumours or anything that could be potentially libellous. Moderators and Administrators are not interested in the chance of legal action regardless of how small - if deemed that there is ANY threat to RWO potentially, we will come down hard on it.
b) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and the potential legal implications, posting of complete articles is NOT permitted. If necessary, post a link to the article. Where appropriate, you may quote sections of the article to aid in discussion.
c) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and potential legal implications, posting of links to "live streaming (of AFL games)" and "AFL content" sites that are not AFL endorsed is NOT permitted. Posts with such links will be removed immediately and infraction points will be issued.
d) Freedom of speech does NOT = freedom to slander
8) Racial / Sexual Discrimination / Villification
It is not acceptable for members to engage in racial and/or sexual discrimination / villification. It is not acceptable for members to use terminology in describing race or gender in a derogatory manner. Discussing and disputing the views and opinions of other posters is acceptable. Personally vilifying or abusing others for having certain characteristics, or being a member of a certain group (or because you think they're a member of a certain group), is not. This rule shall apply to any post attacking race, skin colour, ethnic background, gender and sexuality.
