I've been watching it via Chromecast, mostly the mini-matches the next day, a few full match replays and it has been fine. I think the only issues I've had have been due to my third world internet. Haven't found noticeable difference in quality between the two (except when my stream drops to potato quality..) but also don't have that good a TV, and haven't really compared.
Yeah we are running it through Plague Jnrs xbox one' s'.Quote:

We have NBN at ours though.
Also, am prob late to this but the xbox app is great to use as a remote control rather than looking like a dork with a controller changing channels.
Not quite understanding why people need to have an Xbox to stream the games. Can't you just run it directly through your television ?Quote:

My Samsung is an older one and they don't support with the Catch up apps. It only has SBS. I've got the previous model Apple TV which they don't support anymore and it just has Ten.Quote:

Optus spor app isnt available direct on TV.Quote:

Xbox is now just another version of a telstra TV box, foxtel puck apple TV etc.
Only prob is that most big media companies only make their content exclusive to their own set top boxes.
Some 3rd party ones like xbox have 'most' of them, but no box/TV has everything.
Except, I think, for Fetch.Quote:

Xbox app only came out in May, so clearly leading into the WC. I recall people bitching when they took on EPL that it wasn't available via anything other than Fetch
Good to know. Was considering getting rid of the box for an online subscription.Quote:

Good watching the Southgate choke at the start.
Cant remember the last time I've been this excited for 2 nights in a row of football.
Not sure the matchups could have been set up any better.
Even the two trash teams are playing each other so it will only ruin one spectacle instead of 2.
Let's do this.
I'm trying to work out the trash team clashQuote:
