    I watch any games I need to via My Football Live which, while not perfect, is perfectly adequate for my needs.
    Kayo is terrific for options. They need to improve their servers mug I like optus needed to last world cup

    I never really watched them, but Redwah mentioned to me today the three EPL club tv channels on Foxtel are gone, overnight.

    Was announced a while ago now - Fox says they want to divert their attention to their "premium" sports. It also admits they lost their war with Optus as they hooked into those channels (Spurs/Man C/Arsenal TV are gone too), to try to keep EPL fans happy.

    A shame - although I don't support any of the big 6 I enjoyed dipping them when nothing else was on.

    the fact that there was so little on Foxtel meant I ended up watching the Liverpool channel

    it was when I realised how little I actually cared about Sami Hyypiä's post football life that made me get rid of foxtel and save $80 a month

    I signed up for the football and a league, stayed for GOT, and now Chernobyl isn’t really lighting my life on fire like some, so I think this is where my Foxtel ends.
    Might sign up for Kayo though. Does anybody have Kayo?

    The amount of people I know who have cancelled post GOT is substantial.
    Fox lost me when they lost the PL. Netflix at $14p/m compared to Foxtels pricing is chalk and cheese.

    no but all my friends that have switched over say its dope.
    you can run that, or if you still want Fox for the HBO stuff etc just get basic Foxtel Now streaming and its like $30 a month, Kayo is about the same, but if you have a mate go halves (you get 2 devices on Kayo) and have one each.
    i do Foxtel Now with sports added on and its like $50 a month or something.

    My mother was all "oh but we need Foxtel so I can finally watch The Wire" and that seems like a great reason because The Wire is probably the best TV show of all time. When you can buy the 5 season boxset for the cost of a month's Foxtel though, that reasoning kind of falls over.


    Kayo + Optus for about the same price as monthly Foxtel without any inclusions then adding Netflix and Stan is still cheaper than an all in Foxtel bundle to cover everything.

    **** Foxtel.

    Yeah that's where we will all end up anyway.
    Stan will disappear once Disney+ comes along (That will also include ESPN), and HBO go will see the end of foxtel.

    Kayo + Optus will cover lost of your sport for the future anyway.

    Has Matriarch Brem not seen The Wire yet?
    You gotta be a good son here and sort that out.

    No idea about Matriarch Brem but Matriarch Grim has not. She's too busy gorging herself on some trash Spanish soap opera on Netflix.

    not quite TV but the newspaper had an A-League preview today and out of the 10 experts (well, those journos left who give a toss about the A-League) they asked, not one had the Jets in the top 6.

    8 out of 10 had the Phoenix to get the spoon.
    1 (Bozza) didnt answer.

    The other, a certain former coach of this trash club, picked us for the spoon.

    Kozzie still drinking the haterade after all these years.
    made me smile.

    Saturday evening A-League in HD on ABC. This is dizzy stuff.
    Shame the Mariners had to be involved, but at least did the right thing and lost.

    yeah studio shows down to a minimum, even down to the pundits they have on air being more local so they dont have to pay for flights and accom for any extra people.
    The new Fox guy wants no part of sockah, the clubs might want to hope hes not there when the new TV deal gets done.
    Even the CEO said as much on the podcast, the money coming from Fox is in dire jeopardy (my words not his). The clubs need to get real smart real quick with the negotiating tactics and ability to take a risk on new platforms.
