But I hope that in future, it'll improve. Foxtel still flogs the Australian version of Match Game (Sorry, Blankety Blanks) which only lasted 2 seasons and is the only game show in Australia that I know of that's being rerun only because it was hosted by Graham Kennedy. Since Nine have an additional channel, they outta re screen game shows like Sale of the Century or Larry Emdur's version of The Price is Right if they still hold rights to air them.

We have Foxtel which drowns us with the same old repeats and only works intermittently (those idiots can't fix it and it takes forever to call them because of their unfriendly customer phone system). Also very limited with what we can get because it costs a fortune to have anymore channels than what we already have. And for some reason I have not been able to find "GO!" in the Foxtel TV guide. I wonder will it eventually appear in there one day, or I'm just not looking hard enough?
Go was only soft lauched a week ago, I'm guessing more and more shows will be added to the line up. When its officially launched then the TV guide should be good.

hey does anyone know what all the different fta digital channels are, i just want to make sure i have stored them all because i also don't want the same channel more than once. But it seems some channels may have only a few different shows a day so i may have accidentally left them out, I have 12;

1
2
7
9
10
20
22
30
32
90
99

Cheers

Truth be told, I don't mind the new GO! channel - don't mind Fringe, 11th Hour...

...leaves Channel 9-proper more room for Two and a Half Men! :|

The wife doesn't mind GO, but the transmission is very pixely, crappy quality. C'mon 9 get your act together, digital transmission doesn't mean analogue viewing (for us here in brissy), looks sh1thouse on the 42" plaz.

Also, when is 10 going to switch one of the HD channels back from One to HD ten? Annoying watching shows i know would look better in HD, there just isn't the option (or is there...)

WOW
Marine Boy now on ! With Bolton & Piper in P1, Dr. Mariner & Prof. Fumbles at Ocean Patrol and with the amazing white dolphin Splasher
Ahh. this was on it the late 60's and I used to think his chewing gum that gave him the power to breathe underwater was the best - but not as good as the pendant that gave Prince Planet his superpower (i had one myself)

I have to agree with you on this Rodderz when something is dead you never dig it up. I did like Fringe tho.
