Cool! Soccer is one of the team sports I love. Such a good game for kids of both genders too.

Edit: Adults too!

indeed. Although I think the crowd has a lot to do with the atmosphere in soccer.
Always love the Osama chants when the U.S. plays 'friendlies' in Central America.

I like that concept too.  (just paying for your own choices)  I'm sure they have the capacity to do it now.  I also think it would be an excellent way to eliminate half the useless crap that is cluttering up the dial.  Content and quality are no longer a consideration to get something on the air.

 They've talked about that down here a lot, but the info channels complain. Nobody's going to really want QVC or Home Shopping so that means jobs lost.

I wish I didn't have to see Fox News on anything down here that and the goofy religious channels which are to me hate based channels.

lol That said our regional channel here on friday nights at 1am used to have a Neo-Nazi programme. lol

Well, there's not much one can do about it right now....but I have always resented paying for crap on 6 channels, that I would never watch...just to get one that I would.
Title: Re: How can I watch the European Soccer Cup 2008 online?
Post by: Sportsdude on May 26 08 07:59
Yeah. Shaw's a bit ahead of anything I've seen down here. The idea that you can buy in bundles is a concept is something new.
The problem with the bundles is that you get the channel you want, but a a bunch that you don't. For example if I bought the news bundle I'd get some channels I'd want  (BBC World, France 24, Deutsche Welle, France 5, EuroNews) (just naming a bunch of international channels that would be cool for me)etc. but I'd get Fox News which I don't want, but since I bought the bundle, I'm forced to get it.

This bundle idea is always fought about down here. The idea never goes anywhere.

I would be happy with whatever I get over the air. That is all ending though. I bought a sweet TV for movies. Even though I am way behind on the movies, I still love them.

I'm not even looking for a bargain.  I don't care if I have to pay the same  to have 10 channels I like than 200 channels of their choice.  I wouldn't buy 39 rotten apples, just so I can get one good one.  If a store continued to put out rotten apples....and nobody bought them....wouldn't they eventually be forced to clean the shelf and put out better apples ?  

  I resent accepting some of that crap into my home because it feels like I'm putting my personal stamp of approval on the garbage they have selected for me......and I'm paying to accept it to boot !  There's some stuff that I don't even want in my living room for FREE.  I don't mind paying for entertainment....I just want the option to choose the entertainment I'm paying extra for.

Title: Re: How can I watch the European Soccer Cup 2008 online?
Post by: Sportsdude on May 27 08 07:21
Showcase is that channel that likes to show 'filth' as some people would say. To me I find the show were the british guy finds weird sex acts around the world on friday nights, hysterical.

  I dunno, the comment just reminded me of people down here who complain about how TV is indecent and morally corrupting our children with all the sex and violence. lol

  Or better yet the folks who complained in en mass about the Super Bowl Boobgate permenantly 'scarring the children and losing their innocence'.

  Maybe I belong 'down there'. I AM one of those who doesn't believe for a second, that some of that crap definitely does not contribute to a healthy mind.  You'd have to be some kind of miracle worker to convince me, that some of the sick and twisted violence I've seen on TV, doesn't have an affect on young minds.  I also believe, that the bulk of the responsibility lies with parenting......but then that brings it back to having MY choice as to what I want coming into my home.

My experience living in N.A.

Violence is good and applauded.

Any form of sex is riddiculed.

  Example. Dennis Franz show's his butt on NYPD mass hysteria ensues and ABC gets fined by the FFC

Meanwhile on 24 a guy gets a drill to shoulder, people are seen blown up and its all in good taste.

  N.A. is obessed with the ultra violent while Europe is more into sex.

Just look at IMDB movie ratings for movies that have sexual themes. U.S. it will be R and in Europe or Quebec it'll be for 10 years or older.

Yes it would be nice to just pick and choose. Pay for what you want.

If I want hardcore porn and hardcore violence, I should have the right to see as much or as little as I want.

  I think reality TV is worse than anything. People actually believe what they see on Survivor is 'real'.

I think reality TV is worse than anything.

  Worse than people believing that it's real, is that people are entertained by the exploitation of peoples' personal lives.  It's creepy.  We all waltz happily into the world of voyeurism under the guise of entertainment.  Peoples' struggles with weight loss.....squabbling couples who are making a mess of their children's lives....nothing is sacred.  Private and personal has no meaning.  It used to be considered ultimately low class to air ones' dirty laundry in public.  Isn't it still ?

Everything is staged nothing is real. Even those so called 'educational reality shows'.

  I miss 'Connections' History teacher would always put an episode in for fun I guess. I like how they would go from Napolean needing a way to feed his troops with perservation and end the show with the guy who created Air Conditioning. lol

    Just realized why he made us watch it, its probably the best scientific educational programme every to exist, but Burke poses life questions throughout the series about where this is all going etc.

  The issue isn't really whether it's real or not.....the issue is that the entertainment pool has become so dried up, that we are moving into peoples bedrooms for it.

 I was tempted again yesterday to get cable.
 Free digital box, Free 1st month, $9.95/mo after that.
 Alas, I said NO to the magic box.

 Thanks.  Had basic cable about 10yrs ago because it came free with the apt.
 Let's say I'm a bit behind on tv watching and slightly culturally illiterate.  (What's dancing With the Stars?!)
 I'm watching Season 4 (out of 15) of ER from the library....

That's the good part of TV, it at least awares you about places and things or cultures we would never had heard about otherwise most of the time. I don't like Treasure hunters (I think it's the name of the program, or maybe Sea hunters?), but I often catched the last 2 minutes before my program begins, and I always enjoy the part when that old man (from Vancouver I think) says "Now it's your turn to get off the couch and go explore the sea, the mountains and the deserts, it's the biggest adventure you'll get in your life" or something like that. Very inspiring.  
     Its Sea Hunters. The guy with glasses on the show is from vancouver and the show is sponsored by canada.. I wholeheartedly support the show.

the guy that comes on at the end is and american.. hes a popular writer that uses his own money to support searches and documentaries on historical shipwrecks and battles. \

His name is Clive Cussler.

    I too hate channels I dont want.. but thats how the cable companies afford to comply with canada's communist system of having the cable companies pay to support the canadian content channels. Even though nobody in canada watches them. How do you think the film credits and such for canadian filmakers come about? Its supported through the cable... which has to be paid for somehow.
