Too many ads, too much time lost. Anything worth watching is worth recording, just zap through the ads. We have one of these, it's brilliant: http://www.jbhifi.co.nz/tv-lcd-led-p...der-sku-24438/

Have no idea how it compares to a Freeview recorder, but anything that records a program has to be better than sitting for mini programs (ads) every five minutes.

Thanks Karen1.I still have a VCR recorder.Tape the motor racing for a friend.Nothing I really want record to watch later,even without the ads..

It is a Private Equity group that has purchased the rights. Hope they haven't paid too much .....gear it up and it will end up another debacle ..........

This is a massive threat to Sky. Craig Heatley was a founding director/investor in Sky 20 odd years ago and he can smell the potential of mobile / tablets to get sport to a new generation via different channels than Sky.

Im surprised sports don't go down the track of MLB (baseball) which I'm sure has its own website/app to sell tv rights direct to the consumer. Maybe Heatley is trying to be the technology behind that shift?

I remember him.
Was deported broke I think.
Brought TV3 shares with the view he would be a major shareholder,and when they came right he would be very wealthy, and he would not be deported.
Made his money gambling I think.[lost it that way too.
He was one of the first, in a very long list of people who have done their dough on TV3.
