Apparantly the rights to the vision of all gallops meetings go to TVN as of midnight tonight....
As an Austar customer, I will no longer have any vision of the races..... Only Foxtel digital subscribers will have access to this channel.....
Added to this is the fact that the only reason Austar is hooked up is to get this vision.....

How many people are in the same boat...?

I believe my facts are correct....

Austar have about 300,000 of which a great number would be in a similar position to yourself, that being they mainly subscribe for the racing vision.

I'm a Foxtel digital subscriber and already have TVN hooked up so will not be directly affected, but my recommendation to you is to lodge a complaint with the ACCC as have others. I know for a fact that the ACCC are monitoring the situation and may well step in at some stage in the near future. The more people who complain to them, the more ammunition they have to take action.

Hi Guys,

What are you saying, i am a foxtel digital subscriber also, are you saying i am going to loose the racing channels, do i have to call them to get another package, ive got three boxes with them, they better come to the party !

Thanks

Foxtel digital subscribers are ok.... It is Austar and Optus customers....
After further reading I am under the impression that it is only Sydney or NSW gallops meetings....?

BJ - As from midnight tonight, TVN will be the lone provider of all Victorian races, including Melbourne. Dependant on what happens as 3.30pm today in the court in Sydney, the Sydney races will also only be shown on TVN.

Currently, TVN is only available to Foxtel Digital subscribers and online via Telstra Bigpond.

Online?
I have Bigpond ISDN.... Are you saying that I can watch still....?
At a speed of 128kbps it probably isn't worth it anyway..... But still worth a try....
