Seeing as there is now a nominated LFC pub here in Adelaide, are you planning to come down again any time soon?

[darkknight]

What - so you can spend the night hiding from me .

A few changes in the wind up here, nothing on the horizon for an Adelaide trip at the moment, but I dare say I'll be down at some stage, especially if the other half has any conferences to attend down there.

Whats this pub your talking about ?

I've been tracking this Setanta issue on a Digital TV forum:

It's also revealed that Foxtel may finally be giving us what we really want - CHOICE.

See below:

"According to knowfirst, you will be able to choose from four EPL games when they are on at the same time - at times there can be up to ten played simultaneously, so they still won't be showing every game, but it's looking very good. "

And:

OFFICIAL

This Saturday the early game at 9:45pm EST on Fox Sports 2 is Sunderland v Spurs.

At midnight the game chosen is West Ham v Man City however if you don't want to watch that game, press the red button on your Foxtel remote and you will be launced into Viewers Choice. On your screen will appear four other matches, in this case Bolton v Newcastle, Derby v Portsmouth, Everton v Wigan and Middlesbrough v Blackburn. Navigate around the screen using your remote and chose which game you want to watch.

Last year Fox showed up to 6 matches live per week, this year it will be 9 or 10. The only game not on this weeknd is Arsenal v Fulham because of the time it's on. Sunday midday UK time.

It's illegal to show all 38 matches of a club's season but you'll probably see 35 or 36 LFC matches this coming campaign. There's 380 matches played in a season and you'll now get between 350-360 of them live on Fox Sports.

If you're getting your Fox Sports through Austar (people who live in the bush) then this feature won't be available until next month. "

If this is true, and announced on Thursday, then we could be seeing LOADS of live Liverpool EPL games this season!

This is great news.
There will however be some times where I am unable to watch for one reason or another -- i wander if IQ can be programmed to record another game, other than the one that is on th normal channel?

[Kinell]

****hot news if this is the case mate, I m on Austar so I ll be interested to hear how this goes on the weekend.

I'm on Austar to. Lets just hope we arent a year behind Foxtel on this concept like we are with everything else on there!

[Dero]

Sounds like the same deal with the rugby league on sat night press red to pick which match you want to watch live, do any of you Austar subscribers have that option now? as i know when that started it was only for fox digital.

Yeah its available. Waiting for that recordable box thing to come on Austar though!

Don't bother with an IQ just get a dvd recorder with a hdd that's all you will ever need does everything the IQ does but record 2 channels at once, is cheaper and you have more control over what you are doing.

That thread also discusses Foxtel adding Setanta in Australia and how they may drop Chelsea TV to accomodate LFC TV as they've had loads of enquiries from Liverpool fans and realise there's more of us.

Fingers crossed - we could get all the Liverpool content we'll ever need!

Hi Lads

I belatedly rang Setanta this morning and heard all the same news as you guys with the exception that the young lass gave me the email address to contact. It is [email protected]

She said that we need to have our voice heard and this was the best way so let's jam their system . Also they will keep us updated of proceedings via a newsletter.

She also mentioned that the Premier League only allows them to have 2 club channels on their program list at a time. Seems strange?

I reckon it should be:
[email protected]

as the ".com" failed.

I've emailled them.

The more they realise we outnumber Chavski, the more chance of getting LFCTV on there!

Does anyone have a write up of a message we can all email in?

Circulate it around other sites, etc.
