I'm so fed up with the tv.
 
OK. I'm having a moan now and I don't care what anyone says.

I'm so bored with the tv!!!

I've just had our third baby and in the evening I'm pretty tired. I'd love to stick the tv on around 8pm perhaps 3 times per week just for an hour to unwind. Nothing too taxing etc but half decent would be nice. I seem to have found myself channel hopping more and more over the past 2 or 3 months.

Surely australian tv couldn't have got worse could it?

When I'm this tired I don't really feel live surfing the web.

Moan over with. Looks like I might have to hit uknova again.

OK so perhaps I'm not going so mad then Irishbloo. Thanks for the congrats. I had a little boy. Our first (and last) little Aussie. Hope you are not feeling too low re: your mum's birthday dinner. Have an extra glass of fizz for me :)

The only good thing about crap tv is that my ironing gets done because I'm in no rush to watch anything and the kids have all their stuff ready for the morning school run.

It is absolutely crap. Even Foxtel is appalling.

I'm just glad I did 5 years in Brunei to prepare for it.

Not heard of this one before, is it new? is it really better than foxtell. Sorry if this is a dumb question but is it for your regular TV or for viewing programmeson a TV. Hope to get something like this soon, so just checking out the options. Thanks

I've just double-checked the TV guide, cos I couldn't believe there was nothing on - and I see that the 1946 film "Courage of Lassie" is on channel 9 this afternoon...... :eek:

Austar and Foxtel are near identical in terms of channel line-up. If I had the choice, however (which I don't) I'd get Foxtel because at least they have a decent PVR (very similar to Sky Plus) and a smattering of HD channels.
