For too long everyone has been held to ransom over what a programmer thinks will rate. GO is a perfect example of good programming, so good that it outrates some free to air channels, so what if it is reruns. Reruns are comfy like old slippers. Televised Rugby Union is a perfect example of a poorly serviced market in Australia. In NZ they have a Rugby channel. In Australia you have to subscribe to Foxtel, Sentanta and ESPN to get even a third of what they get on the Rugby Channel in NZ. I am still waiting for the 7's rugby final from the 2006 commonwealth games in Melbourne to be played on Free to Air or cable TV in Austalia. Every year there are a number of international games involving England that are only on Setanta. Similarly shows like Entourage, Project Runway just don't get a decent showing in Australia and really shows like Entourage series 2 and 3 had the potential to be worldwide internet hits on IPTV So many of my friends ask me why i pay for my IQ2HD service when the events they really want to watch just aren't televised. Yet this winter NRL rugby league is going to be forced down our throat every game live and uninterupted, repeated disected and regurgitated. A league (kick and chase and hope) football is in the same basket. Is it any wonder that often p2p bittorrent sites and tracker servers fail regularly after certain shows have aired overseas with the traffic they service from disgruntled viewers. All cable TV providers are effectively one channel with 60 odd programs going on all at once. With iptv and maybe a settop box incrorporating a bit torrent client as a distributed transport everyone could be their own programmer. On the other hand what is the point in building forty odd billion worth of infrastructure if it is only going to be used to watch TV whether it is legal or otherwise. Is it any wonder this is the way the world of cable and free to air television is going.
