Summer RIO 2016 - Ch7 Olympic Coverage Discussion Thread (All Complaints Here)

[Arbuckle]

Silly Amanda news desk woman. We were "pipped at the post for silver" in the k2 final. Really we barely held on for bronze and had no chance of silver.

Two weeks of being confined to a desk, having to listen to Basil ad nauseum, will do that to anyone.

Anyone know when Caroline is on in the BMX?

The schedule on the site is the single worst site in the history of sport!

Thanks for the help though.

So Melissa Wu qualifies for the final in the diving and before she competes, the Channel 7 numbnuts reporter plays a game of twenty questions including, "your sister passed away recently, does that affect your concentration?"

You ****in what mate? She's still got the final to come you moron. Maybe lay off the "are you thinking about your dead sister?" questions until after she's finished. Just a thought.

or just not bring it up at all.

Their app is absolutely terrible...really bad. The only thing they did in the latest update is not fix the "non play streams" but rather chuck 2 advertisements before each sport stream instead of the previous one.

Bring back Foxtel.

this olympics coverage is worse than what they put up in bejing and worse than 9s effort for london. their website has been shot for 3 days

Been working fine for me since the first day or so. Chrome. No idea abut firefox, it's a steaming pile of bloated shite.

As disappointing as Seven's coverage has been, I've seen four times more sport this olympics on Seven, than i did on Channel 9 during their coverage of the last olympics. 9 was deplorable.

it's best to use chrome

 

[Bomberboyokay]

All of these new channel 7 shows look awful. I guess I'm not in the target demographic

I wouldn't have thought that the majority of those watching the Olympics live are the target demographics of the shows they've been trying to shove down our throats

Seven's target audience is lowest common denominator crossed with safe for 40-year-old women to watch.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Seven's target audience is lowest common denominator crossed with safe for 40-year-old women to watch.

The thing is, a few people I know who like those reality shows (the cooking ones etc.) hate sport and don't even watch it so they are hardly hitting their target audience.

The only show that they are advertising that I am interested in is The Durrells but their is a fair chance I won't bother watching it in the end because the endless promotion will have made me sick of it before it even starts!

I hope that Zumbo guy gets his Just Desserts with zero ratings

Up there with Michael Felgate's post race interview with Tony Vasil after General Truce won.

yeah tried firefox and didn't work, tried chrome is working but very slow and doesn't flow as well as what explorer did when it was working.

The Durrells has good reviews. Unsurprisingly, it wasn't made for Seven.

I found the solution on another forum, load the site in incognito/InPrivate and it works fine on explorer

 

[BG32]

I just don't get it. They put the main stuff on ch7 in crappy SD Yet leave crap like men's volleyball on the second HD channels.wtf is this?!
