Posted By: Jedi Knight PAY TV and ADS - Mon 12 May 2003 03:26:AM
I was told that pay TV in Australia had no ads, YOU HAVE TO BE FUCKING JOKING, ARE YOU FUCKING BLIND, OR ARE YOU BRAINWASHED?!!!.<br />I was invited last week over my mates for tea and we all watched DRAG RACING on ESPN, shit there was an ad every 15 minutes and they tell you to get subcription television so you don't get annoyed with ads, what a lot of shit! Its as bad as FTA TV and just think they have around 24% of the market and if they ever get subription TV up to 45% it will be very profitable for them to allow ads and what they will say ,,,,,,sorry people, we need the advertising to make it profitable.<br />What do you think???

Hey Phil!<br />You sure you weren't talking to my brother?, because he said exactly the same, ads popping up everywhere.<br />No ads means no ads and they got that crummy "AD" saying why you should subscribe to pay Television because there is no ads, talk about contradiction, can't trust the bastards, they're like our politicians.<br />thumbs down<br />Cathy

I think it's a fucking joke. I won't let my 5 year old daughter watch channel ATN 7 on Saturday morning because of the ads drilled into kids heads.<br /><br />Now I see that some of the kids pay-tv channels are doing the same.<br /><br />It's fucked....<br /><br />Cheers,<br />Col.

Colin<br />That is the main reason why we disconnected from foxtel, the bombardment of ads that never were.<br />They have a hide to put that ridiculous ad from Astra for subscription Television telling you the advantages of subscription Television having no ads. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="images/icons/default/mad.gif" /> <br />You can't even watch Fox News without being forced to watch the same ad time after time, like Colin said its Fucked, and like Phil said it will get worse.<br />Steve

Talk about the ads the only channels left on Austar without ads are the Movie Channels, otherwise its ad time.<br />If any of you out there have Austar what do you think about the FYI channel,what a lot of crap,they should have a ad channel only so you don't have to watch them.<br />where we live out in Broken Hill NSW and surrounding areas people are disconnecting from Austar, To expensive to watch the same shit time after time,DVD"s are better.<br />Phil from Broken Hill

Ads,ads, ads ads,whats happened they are starting to put more ads on than ever. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="images/icons/default/mad.gif" /> <br /><br />I think subscribers should complain or they should form a action group to keep the bastards honest <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="images/icons/default/mad.gif" /> <br />Peter
