Bosh Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 After a couple of years of applying for Visa, and jobs, I've just been offered a job in Melbourne, and will be moving from the UK (initially for a month) in June. I'm currently looking at renting a serviced apartment for a month. My number 1 selection criteria is ensuring that I have access to a TV channel which will be showing the Fifa world cup matches (particualrly England games). Does anyone know which channels these are likely to be ? I'm guessing 'Fox'. Not sure if they would normally be pay per view ? I'm also hoping that there will be some bars in South Yarra showing the games. Any advice would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosh Posted May 13, 2010 Author Share Posted May 13, 2010 I've doen a bit of digging on google, and found that all the games are scheduled to be shown on SBS (schedule is here ). So an easier question. Is SBS a regular channel which I'll be able to get in a hotel, or is it likely to be premium / pay per view ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
