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.Quote:

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.Quote:

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.Quote:

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.Quote:

Can confirm, she has not either.
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.
sorry, just caught this. was it Money Heist?Quote:

Got to be better than the Telstra My Football app. I'll be watching most saturdays.Quote:

I like the mini matches
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.Quote:

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.
I be interested to see how this pans out
Viewership on all sport is down drastically and we are one of the last beggars at the table
I backing whatever scenario we end up with these players are gonna face some drastic pay cuts
About ducking time too
I agree that the Fox contract will be an issue. But hopefully the clubs get creative esp with the online rights. Most new startups are begging for content. Theres money to be made as live sport are still the most coveted rights out there.Quote:

Once they start earning money from transfers between clubs and utilising that asset as well, then smart teams will go closer to running their clubs like the rest of the world.
What does Kayo Sports run like ? Is it smooth as far as framerate goes or is it choppy / lagging.
I have 100mbit connection with a 5ms latency
Runs fine for me and with the very rare drop in frame rate and quality but fixes itself within 30 secondsQuote:

MyFootball is working well for me atm: I'm getting a very good deal, for some reason...
My Football is free for Telstra customersQuote:

legit though, if you're gonna have a team of gypos playing in the comp you're only gonna encourage gypos and people with gypo like tendencies (like being broke) to watch it.Quote:

Problem is that same set up will work whenever I am in Oz and I can watch it on YouTube and bring the thing up to my full screen size as well
So their ****ing stupidity region locking me out of it has now come back to bite them on the arse when I cancelled My Football app
Optus Sport has locked me out of my phone because I have put a new OS in it - so I pay for the rights but am not allowed to use my device of choice because it no longer contains Optus bloatware.
Bring back VHF ffs.
Had the same problem with Optus SportsQuote:

VPN
Problem solved
It's almost like Optus have zero broadcast rights in other countries.
This is what I get sitting here at home....Quote:

Has Griff found a way to cast from the MyFootball app?
Griff can lead you to Kayo sports but he cannot make you drink in that HD streaming goodness.Quote:
