Fox Footy package is free for a price

.....Fox Footy will also explore interactive digital options - presumably
alternative camera angles, maybe commentary, rolling replays, additional
stats, and Lord knows what-all - that may be available this season, but
whether this turns out to be pure gimmick, invaluable viewing aid or
anywhere in between, at this point, it probably means roughly 17 buys
nationwide, anyway. Also, Ten's been talking about this forever and will
inevitably finally poo or get off the potty.
The implicit question is whether this move can prod uncabled Australians out
of their pay TV inertia and get subscription television's hoof in the door
of more homes. If it does, that's a power-shift in the industry, plus handy
news for the AFL come contract re-negotiation time. If it doesn't, what roll
of the dice does pay TV have left?

On cable TV they have a weather channel - 24 hours of weather. We had
something like that where I grew up. We called it a window.

I expect this is the big one. It should hook alot more in for the basic package.

And (so far) we save $100! Or am I missing something???
