Prime and MotoGP coverage

[ZorsT]

EDIT: haha beat ya jim

[James Deuce]

Anyone know why my Prime Tv channel reception is shit? What do I need to do to get it crystal clear? All other channels are clear except for Prime and Triangle TV.

Sounds like you need a UHF Aerial

Sorry.

Fark, talk about looking a gift horse in the mouth.
The GP is generally live, but (2nd time this year) sometimes they move it for another programme. Don't listen to the radio or read the paper or open the GP pages & she'll be right. Hell, even if I find out who wins I'm stoked to be watching the whole race (with advertisements between the warm-up lap & at the end of the race not during the race). I can't stay up to watch it anyhow.
Go & pay for Sky or satellite or whatever, don't bitch about something that's free.
Prime is doing a fine job, it's not their fault kiwis are sad & enjoy those oval ball games (and they probably get better advertising rates for it).
Good on Prime

I vote, I pay taxes, and most of all I consume products that pay for the "free" TV. I still reserve the right to bitch.

There isn't anything ON Sky that I'd pay to watch except the Cartoon Network.

It's an attitude that pervades NZ that motorsport is a "meathead" sport that no one watches - the meathead part largely thanks to the plonkers pedalling those Aussie taxis around miniature racetracks on the great dustbowl to our left.

Prime and TV One promise live coverage of the premier classes of 2 and 4 wheeled motorsport respectively and then fail to deliver. I still haven't figured out why they delay the 125s and 250s 'til AFTER the main event. 9 times out of 10 the 125s are more exciting than MotoGP by a large margin. That kind of failure with say Coronation St would get people lynched.

The thing that pisses me off the most is that neither channel has EVER attempted to rate a live broadcast of F1 or MotoGP. They might be surprised at level of veiwership.

My Prime coverage is crap also but then we live outback in the Wgton hills. We have a fancy aerial too. Pity cause the MotoGP is a TV highlight that is a must watch, even though it is B&W and super fuzzy. Sound is OK though. Only option is to get Sky and pay $. On the subject of V8's Wgton saw the light and pulled out of the series, personally I thought it would suit the Hutt valley much better, suit the petrol heads & bogans here much better and it would bring some life into the place. Crikey it needs it.

Anyone have Primes e mail address? I want to send them a big thank you for sticking with the MotoGP.

The pissiest coverage of MotoGP goes to TV1...you get the start, a couple of laps in the middle, then the end and that's only if there's no V8 racing to be covered that weekend in which case MotoGP gets canned.

abell@primetv.co.nz andrea, seems to be the one everyone on here tallks to wrt to the GP

If the coverage upsets you so much, throw your tv out then you won't be able to whinge about it.
Personally I congratulate Prime for showing us what they do and have told them so.

Well I have a beef about the cartoon network. I only get to watch it in motels etc & get all excited, but then realise most cartoons these days are poxy japanese ghey fighty ones.

What ever happened to the classic H&Bbra, or Duckman, or The Tick?


My PRIME reception was very hit of miss, until one day I was playing with the tuning of another channel & found there was a better PRIME transmitter to tune into. Now it’s my best reception.

Yay PRIME! + it’s got scrapheap challenge!

and Top Gear!!
Just that Prime advertised live MotoGP coverage, its not if the Warriors game is live anyway, who is going to watch that at 11.55? The games played around 4.00. Whay not have the warriors at say 10.00 followed by MotoGP?

That's my point. "Integrity" needs to be struck from all dictionaries as it is no longer in use except as a sarcastic counterpoint in a losing argument. In which case a sour, "Get fucked" will do the same job.
