  1. The headline reads in time for la Liga . La Liga season has actually finished so has EPL and Bundesliga all the European leagues have finished so won’t be much to watch on BEIN sports channels till next August .

  2. Channels are 513, 514 & 515.
    Yes I agree about putting more channels in the HD pie..
    Fox 8 is getting very close to SD these days.. I guess with lots of teen shows they think it wont be noticed. I notice !!

  3. Where is Foxtel going to get the bandwidth to add another 3 or more HD channels!! you can only cut the pie up into very small pieces very soon it will look like SD
