I only had Foxtel put on so that I could watch in HD. Now I only get 5 Carlton games for the whole season in HD as nearly all their games are produced by Seven. Even in today's paper in Adelaide they are advertising tonight's game in "Stunning HD". I've rung Foxtel, and laid a complaint. Wonder what will happen. I will be cancelling my subscription, absolute waste of money and blatant false advertising. Even whilst on hold to Foxtel the recorded message said all games in HD! How can they get away with this. Ringing ACC next, will they do something, they seem to be all over Apple and 4G iPad, and that isn't even as big as this issue in my opinion. I too am absolutely spewing about this.

If Foxtel didn't contract this properly with Channel 7 to provide true HD quality broadcasts then that is Foxtel's problem to resolve. Foxtel should either deliver what they promised or correct the way they describe their broadcast quality so that AFL fans are not misled.

It's fairly clear it's Ch 7 who need to get with the times. More than likely sabotaging the feed for Fox Footy.Why are you blaming FOXTEL's channel Fox footy when it's 7 who you should be directing your whinging to. Fox Footy are still delivering more games than ever before. Sooo.. what’s your beef with Fox Footy? It’s fairly clear it’s Ch 7 who need to get with the times.

I also tweeted the AFL and Foxtel. Seven don’t care in the first place so I didn’t bother tweeting them" Well there's your problem. There's nothing foxtel can do. You should be taking it up with channel 7. “I emailed foxtel. I also tweeted the AFL and Foxtel. Seven don’t care in the first place so I didn’t bother tweeting them”

Well there’s your problem. There’s nothing foxtel can do. You should be taking it up with channel 7.

Maybe they aren't broadcasting the games in HD so fox footy don't get a advantage. Just like with the commentary. 7's commentators have been told not to comment after a goal has been given. At least when it is a fox game, you can expect global television to broadcast the game in HD. Good ol channel 7 hey ?

More like Malcolm Blight! What about the sound on Foxtel for one of the NAB cup games - It kept cutting in for a millisecond and then dropped again continually for the whole game. Incredibly annoying. VERY disapointing start Foxtel, especially, as Josh points out, continually RAMMING your advertising down our throats about "footy being covered like never before". Well, you sort of got that part right in a way I guess.......!? ROFL @ “I kept waiting for Plugga to lead out from full forward the footage looked that dated!”
