SBS coverage

[overloaded]

I am sick of S McGill already. he is sh1t

[LMA]

Commentary the same on both SBS and Fox. Just the hosts that are different
Mike Atherton sounds like the black guy from Family Guy

[Dutchy]

Dilema - Watch SBS and get HD coverage but gets the ads or watch FOX and get SD but no ads

I am in the same situation and I am watching HD.

SBS, support the Free to Air when Channel 9 didn't have the Balls to take it (thank God)

SBS isn't true HD ... but it does look better than on Fox

[Dutchy]

yeah ive gone SBS, picture and sound is much clearer

Ill be hitting mute if I hear "tennis ball bounce" one more ******* time!!!

[Dirko]

Ill be hitting mute if I hear "tennis ball bounce" one more ****ing time!!!

They've still got Wimbledon on their minds.....

[dedja]

It's also on Fox Sport HD, which is true HD ... I've just been flicking channels between Fox and SBS and you're gonna get ads regardless

Hey Dutchy, how come we can get the Ashes on 5 channels (2 Fox, 3 SBS) but not all the AFL games on the weekend???

[Dirko]

And SBS will still show le Tour on 32....

7/9/10 are SHIT pure and simple.....

[Dutchy]

good point Dedj....and if you live in the Uk you can get every AFL game live

Anyway I havent upgraded to FOX HD as yet, dont have enough of their sport on there to justify it at the minute IMO

[overloaded]

surely your punting profits would be able to pay for it dutchy

[redden whites]

Bloody Hell Ian Chappell in on the BBC feed to Australia via the ABC.At the 22 min mark of the 1st day we copped a Marshy drinking story ............Is there nowhere to hide.

[dedja]

Don't you go bagging Chappelli ...

Dutchy, if you are keen on MLB, or NHL, the Fox HD is simply THE BEST sporting picture you will get. So clear...

[Squawk]

Stuart MacGill got straight off to a bad start when he opened with "there is no greater rivalry in world sport than the Ashes between England and Australia".

It got better tho when they screened the national anthems, starting with Katherine Jenkins singing "Land of the Fathers", the Welsh Anthem.

[Brad]

I'm so glad SBS are covering, stuff 9 and 7 who were crap when they had it in 2001.

[brod]

Whats the chances that they will refer to Hauritz, by his actual name, rather than Haury before the match is over?
Or a chance go by when talking about Bopara that MacGill doesnt mention that he doesnt think he his a test number three?

[Gozu]

I was actually speaking to my brother on the phone a little earlier and he was going nuts about the SBS team. He was saying that Martyn's just doing his stunned mullet thing, Matthews is alright but MacGill can't host for s__t and keeps going on about Bopara not being a number three.

I've been watching the Fox Sports feed the whole time and the banter between the guys in the studio and at the ground ain't bad. Greg "Man about town" Blewett!

Stuart MacGill has no right to comment on anyone's batting.....EVER. Hmmmm, I wonder what his missus is up to for the next 6 weeks.
