Happy New Year Nicksters!
Now I know I should have researched this before I headed north but now me and the family have moved to Brisbane does anyone know if my only option for watch the Pies is as follows:
- Foxtel
- AFL TV ... but only on mobile/tablet
Is that it?
I think we've only got 4-5 free to air or something stupid this year so going to be tough to watch. I've got a mate's Foxtel Go details (haven't logged in for a while... hopefully it still works!) but that leaves me stuck on an iPad.... not good for the neck!!!
Was kinda hoping I could sign up to AFL TV and watch on laptop but doubt it.
Anyone know of anything I don't? Would really appreciate any help.

Mate Foxtel is the best option really (I live in Qld as well) there are a few pubs and clubs that show the games live on Foxtel so depending on where your living that might be a option
Foxtel isn't as expensive as it seems really if the rest of your family want to watch doco's or other sports
Hope that helps a little mate |

| Actually you will find more live coverage of AFL on free to air TV on 7 Mate in Queensland than you get in Victoria. The only time you won't see Collingwood on live TV in Queensland is when there is a clash with one of the local Queensland teams. Otherwise as above if you need to watch every Collingwood game live you should get Foxtel as you get better commentators and more extensive coverage. Minimum Foxtel package will set you back about $65 per month. |

For some reason the NSW teams also seem to take precedence up here in QLD.
I have used my iPad through AirPlay to an Apple TV and that has worked well for the AFL app and for a couple of streaming web sites. We are getting NBN rolled out to our neighbourhood in March, so it will be interested to see how that impacts streaming sport.

If your one of those guys or gals who hates rooting around with device channeling or frustrating free to air programming just cross over to the dark side and get a fox subscription then you'll never miss a game or Throbbo for that matter.

Sports pack $55 per month.
So that's less than $15 per week to watch the games live with no ads during play plus all the other footy programs and other stuff as well, all without leaving home.
Go to a pub to watch it you'd spend more than $15 each match easily

| On a slightly different tack does anyone know if the AFL premium is still free of charge after 31 Janaury to Telstra customers? |

Yes, but you only have to go to the pub for those games not on FTA.
My biggest issue with the Foxtel only games is access to a replay. The free AFL Live Pass for Telstra customers last season alleviated that issue. Wonder if they'll offer up the same this season. Was great, just hooked the phone into the TV and could watch to my hearts content. |

I posted this some time back in the "Free AFL live pass" thread. I used it last season to stream from the AFL live app on my ipad to my TV. It worked quite well.

(I posted this a few years back but the resolution was too poor to watch) No jailbreaking, no fancy IT work or use of terminology that Belongs in sci fi movies, Just a cheap arse iPad to hdmi adapter from eBay. Haven't tried it for a few years and now that I have nbn it's streams well. I'd love to get rid of Foxtel. It's a money pit with very little return. So I'll watch a few games like tjhis and see how it goes. Before anyone rushes out and does this i should add the picture quality via this method is like watching footy in standard definition. If you are use to watching high def and want it this isn't for you, but for a few bucks it maybe worth a try.
Here's the eBay link. You'll pay a lot more for newer iPads/ iPhone adapters ($50 upwards)

I'll try and post a pic.

As much as I hate to tell you,I live on the Sunshine coast,Foxtel is your only real option.I turn off sport in summer and have movies, dunno why, and swap over to sport when the footy starts. No decent radio programs either but at least you can listen to any radio station on the net. Welcome to Queensland.

I was in Canada for a large part of last AFL season, and used VipBox to stream live games. Worked well. Also works in Aus. It is free, legal to use and doesn't cause any problems with computer or iPad, but the streaming must cause copyright violations...
I will probably use the AFL app via my iPad

You can always get Kodi. There is an addon call afl video. It has every game from 2013. I haven't had it during a season as I only bought apple tv about a month ago.
You can also load Kodi on to your laptop or phone. |
