Well said. And so can their SD broadcast. All games should be filmed in HD.

If it means more money to football then it is great. Who cares about an hour and half later. I will continue to watch 7 live or Foxtel when they have live games. That way I support both and we continue to get more money into our great game.

At least this way we know exactly what time to come on here to find out the squads. In previous years it could be just about any time over about a 45 min period, but now we know to just come here at about 6.30 and they'll be here.

You tell fibs plugger66, you'll watch Foxtel every time, same as I will.
I've done a bit of channel surfing tonight and as the game goes on the 7 coverage is getting further and further behind the Foxtel coverage. about three minutes by the end of the second quarter.

By the way 7 didn't even bother with the Saints team tonight. If you don't use it you lose it.

Channel 7's pictures are also bloody ordinary, especially the non-close up shots. Did I hear that standard def is getting turned off some time next year or so?
