No probs.

Here are some links and base estimates.

www.foxtel.com.au - this covers metropolitan areas and should be a similar price to what I pay.

I m in regional Queensland so I get pay tv through Austar and it has the same programming as Foxtel - www.austar.com.au

The base package gets you Foxsports but no ESPN - it is about $50 per month (about 16-17 UK pounds at a guess). To get ESPN you have to incorporate another bundle of channels (about ten I guess) and it costs a further $10 per month.

Those links should give you some more detail.

You are a legend mate. Cheers for the links and the info. Hopefully we could join around a beer some time in the future.

Last night was picking up some Thai for dinner with the other half,a nd we re driving past the cinema and she says 'oh is (insert some crap movie here) on, we could go to that tomorrow night'. me says 'er .. no - Liverpool are on tv tomorrow night remember ?' She says 'Can you tape it ?'

:whatever: yeah right !

Tape it...ffs, people just don't understand do they.

I like to know its happenining as I am watching it.

Fredo, tons of Football coverage if you have Foxtel.

I m ok with taping a midnight 1 am game when I have to get up on Sunday or Monday morning at 5am.

Needless to say - 9.30pm, there will be no cinema going this evening .

Premier League is on Fox Sports - 5 games this weekend.
Champions League is on ESPN - 4 games per week in the first Group Stage.
FA Cup is on ESPN - I think a couple of games per round.
League Cup - don t recall seeing much coverage bar perhaps the Final.

SBS is free to air - they also show a couple of Champions League games per week when it is on.

The League Cup, along with the UEFA Cup (hopefully of no interest to us) are both covered by Setanta in Australia.

Setanta also covered all of Liverpool's pre-season friendlies in Europe this season.

[darkknight]

How do you get Setanta - is it Hotels only or cor residential too ?

You'll find it primarily in irish Pubs... not sure if you can get it at home.

[LFCman]

Nah, it's strictly for venues like pubs etc.

[ningnangnong]

You can get Setanta at home.

I think it's about $35 a month. But you have to have a satellite installed (not your Foxtel one) which can be quite costly.

We re on again lads

Liverpool v West Ham
Saurday 26 August 9.30 pm
Fox Sports (Two I think)

Doesn t look like ESPN is looking after us on Wednesday morning though.
