hi all, nothing to do with systems etc but is anyone up to date with the bum fight that now means that as an austar subscriber i no longer have coverage of victorian or sydney racing?

guess i will have to take a punting holiday until this is sorted out, as i couldnt go back to radio only coverage, would be like having a tooth pulled..

I know one thing about it. It is a right royal pain in the ********.

I now watch brisbane/adelaide on Sky whilst my computer is running so I can watch sydney/melbourne on BigPond.

Hopefully they will get it all back together at some time soon.

top rank, whats the address to watch online?

It is - www.horseracing.bigpond.com.
I think you need broadband to get it. I also believe that thoroughvision have there own website where you can access it.

It is free on Bigpond broadband you just have to register.

NOT IF YOU DO NOT SUBSCRIBE TO BIGPOND>
THE WHOLE ************ THING IS A ....

the case of the disapearing post,

my apologies mod3, however the sky/tvn debacle is a very frustrating issue for me, & i assume many, many others.

i suggest that those affected, that is all austar subscribers australia wide who have a punt, contact tabcorp to express their feelings & opinions. maybe if enough of us have a good whinge this may be sorted out sooner rather than later

another option is of course to simply stop punting on victorian & sydney races, which i am doing - me thinks this would be a guaranteed method of getting the attention of the people who could resolve this in 5 minutes.

Davz, As I mentioned the other day, the best avenue for complaint is to the ACCC. The more that lodge a complaint the more likely the will do something.

Don't see much point in not betting on Sydney or Vic racing if you are still going to bet with Tabcorp - $1 spent betting elsewhere with them will not have any impact at all. Better to use other betting options. It''s Tabcrop (through Sky Channel which they own) that are the bad boys here, not TVN.

yes, thats why i have suggested people contact tabcorp - sorry you didnt get that....

Dear Sir or Madam,
I absolutely, humbly apologise for using that terrible word RORT.

I know it is an absolutely disgusting word and I shouldn't have used it.

Just one question, can you please explain how I contravened the forum rules.


Yours Sincerely,

Charlie or Ken, ************ hell I forgot again.

Just call me Kenchar.

you are ************ hilarious!!!!
