Viewing World Cup on WA tv

[Florrie]

I'm tearing my hair out trying to find the World Cup on tv here in WA. I checked the onscreen 7Mate programme yesterday and found only one listing for the World Cup (no details) for 11.30pm. Turned over at 11.30 to find the Azzuri/Wales game starting and a conversation about the Aus/Pom game which had just finished. Really annoyed. I then checked the 7Mate programming for the World Cup on the internet and found a replay listed for 3.30pm today. Deduct 3 hours and that makes 12.30pm here. Nope - no World Cup. I'm getting the Ireland/Australia hybrid thing OR (and I don't know how this works) if I view it through AV there are cooking shows and no mention of the World Cup on the onscreen menu for today.

So…any help would be appreciated. Where are the games and which programming is right?

Thank you for that! I was hoping to find a replay of the Aus/England game but it looks like we miss out over here :frowning: And I now know not to trust the onscreen programme guide!

 

[Florrie]

I found a WA Regional guide for 7Mate and this is the programming they have for the next day or so. The NZ/Samoa game is listed for 2am, not 4am as the guide above and there is supposed to be an Aus/England replay shortly. Totally confused now.

That one is a 'regional' guide so not sure.

Check if the replay is on, if it is then use that one.

Just press the "GUIDE! button on your tv remote and just go through the days to see what time what match is going to be on

The TV issue is a debacle. Hang your head in shame NRL.

I did that the first time, and that is how I missed the Australia game! Wasn't on when the "guide" said it was. There is a replay on now but I've spent three hours trying to work out to record free to air hd to my hard-drive and it just won't do it. Looks like I need to buy a new tv or miss out on most of the games. Even if Foxtel was outbid, surely they would have the right to some replays? But there is nothing. :bash

Yep

Too many cannot watch that want to

So much for the all new you beaut broadcast deal

In this day & age of technology, I really dont know how this farce can occur

cannot get 7 mate on my tv, and even if i could it would not tape on the foxtel I.Q.how the hell was this allowed to happen, even if everyone had the chance to watch it, the times are not good as we all have to go to work. they also dont have any replays during the afternoon or early evening, what a joke. any one got any idea to tape it on the foxtel I.Q. CHEERS.

 

[innsaneink]

I can do it but I dunno how,…...Im not sure it just happens, I IQ like any other channel I have...its always been this way for me

 

[tigergirlz]

Pay for full Foxtel. Have to turn it off. TV pixelates like crazy…. Not happy Jan

Channel 9 were the ones that deemed the World Cup not worthy enough to bid on

Well, in its current state this is the value of international league. In the middle of the night on a channel many cant get or cant record from. So they dont bother. Which is about where international league stands. Mickey mouse tournament which most people couldn't care less about, even real league fans and much less the rest of the public!

Talk for yours

Talk for yourself Balmain Boy. I would love to be able to see the Wests Tigers boys play. At least a decent highlights package at some reasonable time would work. Looking at the soccer crowds I think the NRL better get their skates on and do some strong promoting of the game

I managed to see the first 20 minutes of the replay before I had to leave for work this afternoon. For most folk a Sunday arvo replay would be fine, it just sucks that for many of us who can't stay in to watch, we cannot record. I'm going to look at installing an antenna at our shop tomorrow so we can at least get to see some games on free to air.

Sorry Florrie please don't think I'm trying to treat you like an idiot when I ask this , but are you allowing for the time difference

AQnd could it be because that an 11.30 game would be about 9.00 ish that is causing the problem

My parents are on the outskirts of Cooroy and they have a satellite Channel listing and can watch every different states Channels for every Channel

Cooroy is horrible for getting any reception whether it be TV 's or mobile phones

If your interested PM and I'll ask next time I chat to them for a price

It was the onscreen guide which gave the wrong time, Happy, and it is set to local time. Even the guide that phyr3 has posted shows the NZ/Samoa game on at 4am WA time, but it is actually 2am, straight after the Kumul/France game. It's a bit hit and miss. :frowning:
