We've gone from watching every game, to watching none. Tomorrows SBS coverage will be great.

Now that Optarse has the coverage, its nothing but a massive fail for EPL coverage here in Australia. :(
Explain to me whats hard about the whole Optus situation? Do you have to get an internet bundle .. couldn't you just the 10 bucks a week or whatever like foxtel ?

Not everyone wants to stream their football, ie not everyone has a decent internet connection.........

I'm not fully across it, but from what I've read you have to sign up for an Optus contract in one form or another, however most people already have existing contracts with other service providers, which obviously costs money to break. You'd also be pretty reluctant to pay for a cheap/useless service, like a Sim-only prepaid service, just for the sake of getting access.

They also only offer a streaming service, so you are limited to watching on your computer because they do not have a Smart TV app, which then forces you to pick up one of their Fetch TV boxes additionally if you want to watch from your TV.

They had a fair few issues with their stream quality/stability during the first week, but from most accounts that's cleaned up now.

Basically they're just ****s.

Yeah okay that's pretty fucked . Streaming is unreliable at the best of times, I thought it was merely a foxtel rip off they created with numerous channels and you just buy their shitty box and subscription and away you go

You've just become my favourite poster on this site.

Will be a sad day to see those 4 legends hang up their boots. Just have to smash whoever we play in the EF and hope we get a home SF!

Looks like it may be my boys west coast. We taught Adelaide a lesson today.

Looking like a trip west, to either perth or adelaide unfortunately. However, its good to know that there are other north-spurs fans. Wish we were playing on sunday so i could watch the liverpool game in its entirety though

I have Optus and I'm waiting for my box however I just stream it through my laptop to my tv... the power of NBN :).

my post seems to have deserved a doh rating, a bit harsh init?

Can't get NBN where I am, I have vivid wireless and laptop streaming is fine but struggles through the TV. Regular series are fine but live sport buffers a fair bit. Shame.

Just a reminder for anyone who forgot.. 5 minutes to go.

Presentation is good, although Bridges looks like a gameshow host. Maybe in to replace that fella on the Feud.

The Rochdale game was on ESPN live yesterday as well which was a bit surprising. Mostly we have to watch Bein,

If the Huddefield game is on its at 2.00AM AEST.
