I had about 3 mins of crud picture on Sat night, other than that all the games were clear.
I'd rather watch it on the big screen but as we travel around a bit I settled on the digital pass.
In conversations with a lot of the grey nomads, it's come up that the $50 per month is out of their budget, whereas if there was a single channel , that they could get with just the NRL ( or the AFL) at a lower price then they would pay it.
Foxtel are missing out on a good money spinner when you think of all those on a pension or low income, who can't afford the basic package ( and wouldn't watch it anyway,)as well as the sport channel, but may be able to afford just the football if it was on just a one channel basis.
Unfortunately they know that almost no one would want the basic chanell if wasn't a compulsory part of the package.
However, if they marketed a lower priced deal aimed at pensioners or concession card holders, showing just the football , it would be a definite winner for them.
