  1. I looked for the cricket on Nine, Fox but it never even crossed my mind to look at the multi channels…so I just watched some Netflix instead. Suppose that is what you get for not watching the FTO channels regularly!

  2. Don’t get why the cricket wasn’t on Nine, and only starting on 9GEM for markets with Footy Show then switching to Nine. Not so good when its live, free and blurry on 9GEM.

    1. Likewise. Disgusted that it was shown in low def on 9GEM, while other crap such as the AFL Footy Show and “Top 10 Funny Videos” or some related garbage was on the main channel. Their coverage is woeful too – using the Sky Sports feed, with Slats & Healey in a studio cutting into the live play every 10 minutes to give us an update on what we’ve already watched.

    1. Pretty much late night filler in its current slot-preceding ep of ‘Modern Family’ was an ancient one that says ‘We’re not really trying’…

    1. No please , No answer . The lesson of the week , simple pleasures and gratitude , David is not a computer , thou yours could probably answer that without manners included ??
