Setanta in Australia

[Larakin15]

Woohoo this is awesome stuff.

The wife is not gonna be happy with me watching the Tele at odd hours, and will probably make me sleep in the spare bedroom so i don't disturb by waking up and going back to sleep

lol, me too. Although I used to just run a tape on long play all night, and just get up to watch first thing in the morning. Now i may have to get up to press that magical red button (no, not THAT one...), then go back to bed!

Just spoke to Austar - nothing to report from their front office at this stage.

This is possibly the best thing I've ever read.

A lot of people blasted Foxtel when they took it all over from SBS, but they really should be commended for this, it makes it worth the money!!!

Someone posted it on a thread on SoccerPulse but they provided no link.

Yeah i had a crack at it. Loved it, although the 5 games to choose from weren't flash games to watch, couldnt have given a **** about those teams. But to be able to flick across to check the scores in each game is brilliant, will be even better when there are a couple of big games on at the same time.

.... sounds good mate. I saw the spruik for it in the early game before I went to bed.

Was there any reference to Setanta, a logo on the screen or anything ?

[ningnangnong]

Watched all the games last night (West Ham Vs. Man City for viewers choice), nothing better than the opening day.

Managed to collect $33.

Worked brilliantly.
Watched the games last night and got minimal sleep....
The active menu was great and having 5 games to select from was awesome. I ended up watching the Citeh v W Ham game in the end though, but instead checking the skyports live scoring centre, i just hit the red button!

[LFCman]

I loved the new thing, couldn't get enough of it!

Most of the time I had the 4 games all on and recording the City game on IQ, so if City scored I went back, rewinded it to see their goal and then went back ot the main screen tracking all the games. Showed the goals, highlights and stats of them all at HT in the individual screens.

HEAVEN!
