SKY Coverage
CYBER-BULLIES'
Sky Television chief executive John Fellet says he is not concerned about websites that include virulent attacks against Sky sports coverage and put the blame squarely on him.
He describes the site, which looks at the resources Sky puts into its high-definition broadcasts for some sports events, as cyber-bullying.
Anti-media sites are common enough - there is even one devoted to this paper - but www.johnfellet.com does have an edge to it.
I'd be happy to have a chat to organisers about gripes - under its previous satellite arrangements Sky was sometimes mean with bandwidth. But aspects of this anonymous site do raise questions.
Thanks for allowing the opening game to be shown live on Sky on Thursday between Melbourne v Central Coast hopefully it rated ok.
Looking ahead I am disappointed to see that this week�s games are as follows:
- Friday Aug 14: Central Coast v Newcastle (Live)
- Sunday Aug 16: Phoenix v Perth (Live)
- Tuesday Aug 18 Gold Coast v Nth Qld (Delayed by 3 days)
- Wednesday Aug 19 Melbourne v Brisbane (Delayed by 4 days)
- Thursday Aug 20 Sydney v Adelaide (Delayed by 4 days)
Is it possible to review this current stand?

Name and Shame. Even overnight so we could record and play when the kayaking etc is on would be better than this.
Effectively,its either
-A highly public display of indifference towards its customers
OR
-Stupidity -(Sky) "We don't know what we're doing"- to play first time replays after the highlights wrap-up show is broadcast. Please!!??
It means SKY -the supplier- doesn't know its products- and isn't aware of its customers/Our needs.
OR
-It is part of a deliberate strategy to downgrade the A-League coverage in NZ, potentially threatening our team's future in the A-League and ultimately promotion of football in New Zealand.
Which is it Sky?

Can I quote that email on my Facebook page Tony P? :)

I love SKY, it sh*ts on anything else in New Zealand. but come on...
Golf Highlights on when a LIVE game is on. And what is the worst thing to happen in this saga to date. GOLF HIGHLIGHTS ARE ON THE HIGHLIGHTS CHANNEL AT THE SAME TIME.
What???

Having just had a $1 for a month intro promo for Rialto, I've told them that while I quite enjoyed the channel (it is Art you know), I'm cancelling it because I just couldn't spend more on Sky TV while they treat A-League followers so appallingly. Sorry.
It will be interesting what they have to say.
I've withdrawn his email as I'm thinking a bunch of emails from supporters may do more harm than good.
Feel free to contact Sky if you want his contact details - easy enough to find
