I wanted to watch the Australian Open this year as I was feeling bereft of sport coverage by our domestic TV channels. Given how they all have premium channels now which means, pay per view. Gone are the days when you got free TV subsidised by ads. Now, you pay and still get ads.
All that to say that this weekend we subscribed to a month of TSN (ESPN) so I could watch the AO and … wouldn’t you know it, I never took into account the time difference between us, here on the east coast of Canada and bloody Melbourne, 17 hours into my future. Upshot is. I either have to get up at a ridiculous early hour or, wait up till the middle of the night to see anything live. If not, I’m at the whim of channel on when they decide to show the reruns from the previous day’s play.
Bugger!
The only silver lining of getting the channel for the month is I have been able to watch the NFL Play Off games. YAY! That alone has been worth the $22 plus taxes.
Now, when is the superbowl again?
