Default channel 10 and Moto GP what a joke

I mean really how inept are the people that run this TV station? They run a whole pile of religious garbage from the good old USofA when we could have been watching an Australian win the first race of the year. Why is it that motor sport is treated with such contempt by TV stations.

Yes it was but that doesn't do anything for people with no set top box or more to the point people that live in rural areas that don't get one hd.

OneHD is a double edged sword, awesome if youre into sport and can get hd, but no good for those on sd. Eventually everyone will have HD tvs or set top boxes, cold consolation i know. Overall youll never please everyone. Tens commitment to 24 hours of sport has burnt more than a few people unfortunately. :(

I live approx 90kms out of Adelaide and I get OneSD (that's standard definition, not HD) fine on our SD set top box. Maybe I'm not in enough of a rural area then that I can still pick it up.

What about getting Austar/Foxtel? They show all MotoGP and World SBK races without any ads. Even better in my opinion that Ten/OneHD.

Funny I was working tuesday morning when the race was on. We dont have HD or SD boxes just an old TV and the race telecast started at 03:45. I was sitting at my desk watching the race.

Not sure what channel 10 did wrong but I got to watch it.

Cheers

At the end of the day, not everyone will be satisfied because Channel Ten simply can't satisfy everyone. If they put it on Ten then the religious types will complain because thats what ONE is for. If they put it on ONE we have the situation here.

I think TEN should be commended in that they have dedicated a channel to sport. Let's see the other networks do similar. Though, I'd like to have another channel dedicated to documentaries similar to the Discovery channel.

Does anyone know if 10 are showing the F1 anymore? I remember for the Australian GP I was waiting for it to come on and I didn't get it on OneHD or channel 10? I thought 10 had the rights to air it live? I had to put up with the NBA.
