Hi All,
I really don't want foxtel as I find it a useless expense and don't watch much TV. So I am looking at the other options available to me and wondering whether anyone had any good feedback or options.
1 - Foxtel Now - Overpriced and you can't just have sports so no go
2 - Kayo Sports - $25 a month seems a lot to watch one or two games a week
3 - NRL Live Pass - Limited to 7 inch screen (I have a samsung phone that allows me to connect to dex and view on a TV, but not sure how this will break out for the app unless i can view via the browser (Does anyone have experience with this?)
--- Less legal
4 - NRL TV for overseas visitors + VPN: I have a reliable and fast Fibre to home connection and VPN but this still works out fairly expensive in my eyes
Are there any that I am missing? Ideally I would like to watch it on my TV, which I have used an IPTV service to do before but find the image a little cartoony and slightly lagged through its encoding not sure if I should go for this again as hopefully its only a somewhat occasional need to view.
It really bothers me that in this day and age they don't have an NRL digital only subscription that can be viewed on a TV, they really have bent themselves over a barrel with their digital rights which was so short sighted it failed to factor in technology enhancements
The fact foxtel forces you to have an entertainment package and charges such ridiculous fees is crazy. Its not that I can't afford these things it is more a matter of principal.
The fact they don't maintain ownership of their own digital product astounds me.
