Sweet. Cheers Phil.

Sweet. Cheers Phil.

No worries mate...

Wasn't the greatest of games in the end but Lakers got up comfortably in the end by about 9 or 10 points...

Kobe was riddled with the flu but still hit some amazing shots and LeBron at one stage I think was 5 of 18 with FG% !!!

Lakers inflicted the Cavs first loss at home all season. Reckon they are a real chance for championship with Kobe firing.

Any news on when OneHD is going live?

Odom played an absolute blinder. For everyone who thinks the Lakers are a one man band, they're sure off the mark! They're a three trick pony - Odom, Kobe & Gasol!

I dont think I have ever drooled so much about anything. I cant wait

[Westsider]

Cant wait!! It's going to have NCAA stuff too!

Channel TEN has finally declared the launch date for its new 24-hour sports channel, ONE.

It all begins at 7:30pm on Thursday, 26 March.

The new high definition channel will be seen on Channel 1 and on 12, which will rebroadcast the signal in standard definition. Currently 12 is where TEN HD is located, effectively meaning it will disappear with the arrival of ONE.

ONE's launch is timed with the return of AFL. The opening weekend will include AFL's first-round showdown between Richmond and Carlton. This will air in Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth, with the match to be broadcast simultaneously on ONE and TEN. A Swimming Australia SKINS event showcasing the Australian Swimming Team and international stars, including Olympic gold medallists Oussama Mellouli and Therese Alshammar, will be shown first in the Sydney and Brisbane markets, with coverage in Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth following the AFL.

Over the launch weekend ONE has live and extended coverage of the Formula 1 ING Australian Grand Prix. Expect more than 22 hours of action across Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Still to come on ONE are extended versions of Sports Tonight, and new, locally produced shows.

ONE promises more extensive coverage of domestic and international sport than ever seen before on Australian free-to-air television, including AFL, motor sport (Formula 1, Moto GP, NASCAR), netball, cricket, swimming, golf, NFL, NBA Major League Baseball, NCAA College Basketball and Football, and others. Premium sports events, such as AFL and the Commonwealth Games, will still screen on revenue-driven TEN.

David White from TEN Sports says, "We know our opening weekend will give viewers a sensational introduction to ONE, and mark the beginning of a lifetime's habit of essential sports viewing."

ONE will mean TEN has three channels on the air, which makes full use of its available spectrum, and completes what it will offer under the Freeview platform once it emerges later in the year. We're still waiting for what Seven and Nine will deliver with their extra channels.

To view ONE you will need a high definition television or HD set top box (and hopefully live in an area reached by TEN's signal). Otherwise you can view it on ONE SD on Channel 12.

Agree they are a huge chance, but much will depend on Bynum yet again me thinks

[Dutchy]

thats going to be sensational, will be at the end of March Madness for NCAA - bet we will see plenty of St Marys College for obvious reasons

they are launching it in the first week of MLB also which will be great

[NFC]

Tennis is the only good thing on this channel. Who cares about all this NCAA and American sport rubbish. NHL is the only good thing over there.

Despite what you think, the world suprisngly doesnt revolve around you

US Sports are the biggest and most watched in the world and the only reason this channel is getting off the ground

tell me which Aussies are dominating the teniis circuit these days?

[Bully]

again, on this channel 10 HD channel with NASCAR, its only the nationwide series not the Sprint cup, u will get the Sprint cup series but a week later. Just like foxtel with the nationwide, becasue channel 10 have the rights for it foxtel dont get the nationwide series till a week later. to me this HD channel sounds good but how much of it will be LIVE coverage. most sports yes but not all of them. so to me it will be just another fox sports channel seen as most of the stuff on there during the day is repeats etc

1. It does.

2. US sports are amazingly overrated, except the NHL which is ridiculously underrated. Yanks don't know a good thing when they see it.

3. Does it matter?

[Dutchy]

IYO of course

it does matter when there are Aussies dominating US Sport....game over

[HH3]

Who cares where the sports played....ITS SPORT!!!

You can never get enough sport.

It was great to finally see a full NFL season and now the College competitions going to be shown too...

And the best thing about ONE HD....it starts on my 21st Birthday...WOOHOO!!!!

[Westsider]

I'm just happy I can turn on at any time and find some sort of sport on.

Also not all of us have foxtel. I'm quite happy to see a week delayed nascar racing as I don't follow it closely, but happy to watch it. Better than watching neighbours or home and away or some crap.

[whufc]

Have heard that like the NFL on 10 this year, most of the sports especially the NBA, College football, college basketball and NASCAR won't be live and will be on a minimun half an hour delay.

[HH3]

Half hour delays nothing. We get that with heaps of AFL matches. And how many people hear results of the sort of stuff thats gonna be shown anyway. Im pretty sure a lot of the NFL season just gone was live. I doubt the College football will be live, but its still gonna be good to watch.

Same as the MLB. The only time Ive ever been able to watch baseball is the Olympics and they hardly ever showed it anyway..too busy showing the swimming and gymnastics...

The motorsports gonna be great as well. Sundays coverage of Nascar was really good. Not live i dont think but having a full day instead of highlights was a good change. It used to be hard to get into it because it would just start, then 10 minutes later they'd be on the 100th lap. And the formula one coverage will be 22 HOURS!! for the Aussie Grand Prix. Just another reason im devistated the worst channel ever in the history of the world (7) have the V8s..
