Wow, that's truly great value. Don't really know why anybody would bother to keep Foxtel, in the era of Netflix and all.

We streamed a College Football game on the big TV at work on Thursday and it looked fine.

Great to hear about streaming quality. I've been thinking about jumping trying them out, it is $25 p/month for basic right? I know Foxtel t's one of their partners and I imagine you can watch European rugby also.
I am paying $44 p/month for Foxtel Now however I have the Showcase (HBO) channel which I quite enjoy

Same.......... it's really the only reason I have it is for HBO content and movies.
The moment HBO cuts ties with Murodch here I'm done.

Yeah, it's $25/month for the basic package that allows you to stream on two devices. You get the Gallagher Premiership and Internationals. I haven't seen any Top 14 but as you get access to Foxtel's sports pack you could find it there.

There's no need to record. The games are put up for viewing immediately after the live coverage finishes to view at any time you feel like it.

ok sounds good , can you pause rewind and fast forward ?

Michael Lynagh (62)
You can move it back using the mouse on the progress bar and you move it back a frame if we want to. They could do with adding in a rewind function. And you can pause of course.

There are a bunch of free and legal (for now) VPNs that work on computers, phones etc. that get around geoblocking.
Not sure about the legalities of dodging geoblocking, think it's still up in the air.
It's really easy though, and comes with the added bonus of data encryption so whatever government can't spy on your porn preferences.

The Pro14 have just launched a OTT service aimed at countries without current broadcast coverage. Surely SANZAAR could emulate this.
Interesting. I was just checking it out today.

I reckon this is Rugby’s last roll of the dice with regards to pay tv.
RA desperately need Kayo to have a big break through and get total Fox Sports penetration from 30% of households upwards of 50%.
I just can’t see FTA paying for Super Rugby - so the other way to get exposure is if your broadcaster can increase its market share.
Let’s hope Kayo can achieve some real growth so more Rugby fans tune in.
If Kayo does increase household penetration, yet viewership of Super stays stagnant — well the goose is well and truly cooked
