think its the other way around guys, satellite viewers get all fta channels but not cable subscribers.
Something along the lines of the TV stations not wanting to pay for those channels to be accessible by cable, and fox not being bothered to pay or it either. Only HD was deemed worth of the cost as it's considered the future. Satellite and set top boxes use similar technology so it works out for those customers.
I could buy a set top box but then I'd have to try record the games as they're all in the middle of the night. All that to watch international rugby league, it's just not worth it.
May have watched a few of the games with the Islander teams or NZ, but really that's about it.
7mate outbid Foxtel, so that's it. The powers at be really don't care about the fans. Anyone with a real interest in league has Foxtel so they can watch lots of the games, yet something like 90% of Foxtel subscribers won't have 7mate. The casual league fan won't give a stuff if Tonga is playing Wales at 4am so it really doesn't make sense for to not be on Fox!! [/end rant]
