Fuel TV & Trials

Doubt they would reply to the feedback. We'll just keep reminding them once a week, they'll get the idea.

Well you would not believe it. I have been leaving messages with Fuel (still no reply) and they are not all whinges. But, I am doomed not to watch Trials on TV. The week before last I set my recorder to record, great, however all I got was the credits. The week after I got my wife to set the recorder; even showed her the steps in the book. She forgot. This week, I thought I would do it myself and low and behold, Fuel move the advertised programs around. II will never get to see it. I've placed another feed about the Pacific Park open, asking for video footage from the event. Maybe I will be able to watch some Trials from there. I'm giving up on Fuel.

sounds like ur not having much luck at all!!

My suggestion would be to buy the dvd. That way hopefully it will work and then u'll get to watch it! I must've missed it all together cos I didn't even realise it was on again the last couple of weeks.

Yep, no luck at all
It has been running the 08 outdoor. It has been running at 1330 ish on thursday, but has a tendancy to change to wed at 2030, if you believe the program schedule. I'm getting sketchy. I will be getting the video as soon as they come out. I refuse to be left out of the loop.

Just a reminder to all that Fuel is showing Mototrials again tonight at approx 2000 hrs EST.
Don't forget to log onto Fuel TV's site to let them know we still want to watch our sport on the big screen.

As I don't have Pay TV, I have sent an email to SBS asking them to consider televising world trials events. I didn't bother with the commercial free-to-air stations.
There's been no response from SBS yet, but if they receive many emails along the same lines maybe us free-to-air viewers will get lucky.
For those that would also like to email SBS, contact details follow:

Raddy,
Nice one, I never thought of that. Rest assured I will give them a try. I've almost given up on Fuel . They don't reply and keep changing their schedule. I think Trials has ben dropped. It's a shame, but you are spot on with SBS.

Cheers

Thanks Davo,

It will require a team effort.

In my emails to SBS I have really pushed the point of trials having susbtantial worldwide popularity, even though it is a "niche" in Australia. SBS's coverage of the recent Tour de France was excellent, so I really thought this was an opportune time to raise another sport that they could promote.

Great idea contacting SBS.

Sent an email in support. Thanks for the link.
