no fkcunig way!

I can't find a tv guide that goes that far out. 1.30am Monday is kick off. I wont believe it until I see it.

[Juventino]

Seems to be true, apparently there were ads for it during the Bundesliga last night.

[themagnet]

Yep, saw the ad. Jumped up and down on my couch so excited.

[ozzie owl]

I have heard big rumour One will be bidding for joint rights to a-league and socceroos.

[Badragas]

Impossible!!!! i don't belive it!

[diegom]

Finally....hope for quality Serie A coverage - without American commentators!!!!!

[E. Grant & Co]

This is great for those of us who either can't afford or refuse to use FoxSports.

Now we can compare what the Bundas Legia and Serie A is like. Before too long [2013] we might see the A League on ONE as well.

I'm looking forward to seeing what it is like, this Serie A, so far the Bundas Legia hasn't been that impressive. Good games yes but to be truthful not a great deal to write home about.

I couldn't care less about the commentators, I've learnt to tune them out over the years

I just can't believe after years of substandard RAI picture quality and only marginally better picture quality on ESPN that I can finally sit back and take in full HD coverage

Still need RAI though as they have the four games on each weekend, I'm guessing One HD will only show one but nice to have options.

The extra media coverage might even open up a position in the media for 'tino to give his commentry

To understand Italian football you only really need to understand one thing "let the ball do the running". If there's no options on up the field they don't try and force the play like they do in England.

I'd be surprised if you like it. It's definitely another world compared to EPL.

Most people get used to what they know and don't like the alternative. I'm no different, I can't watch EPL. I find it frustrating with the exception of a selected few teams, Arsenal in full flight against one of the better clubs are easy on the eye.

Now that I wouldn't mind

I'll keep an open mind on it and like most people can enjoy a 'pretty game' from time to time but I do enjoy the cut and thrust of the EPL. But I'll be honest with you, I'll be watching more German and Italian football this coming season than English. Unless I end up down the pub at midnight every weekend. I can see 'her in doors' not putting up with that for too long, so it will be the Bundas Legia on Saturday night and the Italian football on Sunday/Monday.

I think the FFA will be keen to get hold of some free to air tv interest in the a-league and socceroos so it can lift the games revenue streams. This revenue is critical to the long term viability of the a-league clubs.

One misconception is that all content shown on HD channel is actually broadcast in high definition. This may also fall into that category, but the picture could well be of better quality than that of the satellite channels you mentioned as many satellite channels have a low bitrate.

[Juventino]

Seems they are showing Udinese vs Parma, according to the guide.

[goal!!!]

thats great ! serie a is great to watch , learn alot if you coach too. plus the quality of goals is very high , some amazing set plays and free kicks

unfort a league rapped up for along time with fox ...

[Il Duce]

That sounds more likely. I think they are getting their hands on stuff offloaded by setanta, and a Udinese home tie sounds more feasable than a n Inter home tie.

[Il Duce]

Fox???? I don't think so. It's been covered by Rai, Espn and Setanta.

No, he is saying the A-League is covered by Fox Sports.

[Il Duce]

lol... the confusion that comes with a lack of punctuation. By saying a league I thought here was referring to the Italian league as being a league that was....

[goal!!!]

lol , i figured most knew a- league was foxtel only for quite some time

[Il Duce]

Then again this a thread on the serie a.

I think it is. Setanta's is called "The Show" and I saw that in the guide for OneHD.

crap package, nothing bets the old Martin Tyler highlight package on SBS in the late 80's early 90's.

Missed most of it anyway as it started at 9.30

[Il Duce]

Agree. I'm downloading the Sky Sports show from the U.K. as we speak.
