Can you record programmes on the red button ?

Galwaybhoy · September 10, 2012, 10:30:54 PM

So ESPN won't be showing MNF over here? Free to air or not its a small step back if we can not record red button games. Disappointed to hear this.

Will those live broadcasts work in the republic on the bbc website. It would be nice to get away from the atdhe and first row sports.

Capt Pat · September 11, 2012, 12:47:43 AM

Nope it doesn't work for republicans.

Is it handy enough to cancel after the weekend free trial ?

AZOffaly · September 13, 2012, 01:46:34 PM

Dunno, I'd imagine so. These things are usually sound enough to cancel, you just send a cancellation email or whatever.

The Packers are banged up big style according to the local hacks, I thought they would lose to the forty whiners and da bears are in town, I had breakfast this morning in a hotel and low and behold the Bears came and ate all round them, these boys are feckin massive.

I think the Pack are losing the night but they will right the ship and win 11 games this season, Woodson is learning the free safety spot and they did go up against the leagues best D in game one, the Bears now can attack through the air with the weapons they have and I think they will beat a team that is low on confidence and still trying to find it's identity.

The pack have to run the ball well to have any chance at all, 2.6 yards per carry is not going to get it done, they need to average about 4-5 to have any chance.

AZOffaly · September 13, 2012, 04:27:32 PM

Is this in Lambeau as well? Unusual to open with two games at home. I thought it was in Chicago, and I was picking the Bears. If it's in Lambeau I may reconsider.

stew · September 13, 2012, 04:30:53 PM

It is AZ, I have tickets to the game, box seats and I am not going near the place.

AZOffaly · September 13, 2012, 04:31:31 PM

Jaysus. I'd ate your hand off for them if I was over there

You wouldnt have to AZ, I simply give them to ye.

Anyhow, I donated them to a good cause, a good mate of mine here lost a leg to Cancer and then on top of that developed brain cancer and was not insured, there is a big benefit on Sunday for him but I gave the tickets to his brother and he sold them for $600.00 apiece.

If you ever want tickets to Lambeau AZ give me a weeks notice and you will have them.

Yeah red button isn't much use when you cant record, realistically who can sit up and watch it live if you work in the morning ?

Capt Pat · September 13, 2012, 08:23:37 PM

I signed up for that free trial. It won't include the monday night game. I have to cancel prior to the 17th Monday. I will get the Packers bears tonight and the vikings on early sunday before sending an e-mail to cancel.129 of the sterlings is too rich for my blood.

I can watch the packers bears tomorrow at my leisure.
