            Yeah, there’s heaps of Bledisloe games, not just the ones that the Wallabies won which is what Kayo used to have.

              Sounds good, was just about to subscribe.

              Does anyone know, are they streaming in 4K any of the content and in particular, live matches?

                In the process of ditching Foxtel. Which is like pulling teeth. How much is Stan? Probably some other decent content there as well.

                  Has anyone tried watching a few games? What's the streaming quality like? Some people on FB have been complaining about the picture being a bit choppy, but then again it could simply be their TV sets.

                    $10 on top of a normal subscription, we pay $14 for the HD and multiple devices but the cheapest is $10 (so would be $20 in total)

                      Or the quality of their internet connection.

                        Looks similar to Kayo - I've just put one of the old Aotearoa matches on. I never find streaming site sport as clear as a tv box.

                        Haven't tried on my Apple TV, using the Stan up on my Samsung. I tend to find AppleTV has better quality than apps on the TV's themselves.

                          1. price: $10 on top of any Stan package BUT the sport is in HD even if you buy SD Stan. So you might as well pay$14 base for SD HD quality and at the sport.

                          2. quality is ok. Had a bit of a blip here and there if I was pausing/rewinding a lot

                          3. can't get rid of Kearns, unfortunately

                            That plan falls down the moment one of the normal Stan shows catches your eye.

                                This coverage is far better than Fox.

                                  The picture was perfect for the first 50 odd minutes but it now keeps on dropping to a lower resolution. Teething problems are to be expected I suppose.

                                    I had drop outs for the first 15 minutes (as did my mate on my other device) then it was perfect.

                                    The picture was better than the game footage I watched earlier today and better than what Kayo served up.

                                    Hopefully they sort all issues this weekend in time for the actual start next weekend.

                                      @nepia Yeah can't complain about the picture quality when it's in HD. It's as good as my Foxtel satellite picture which I wasn't expecting from a streaming service.

                                        Me either, as I think I mentioned earlier today when discussing the pic on a Kayo.

                                        It’s bloody awesome actually.

                                          Been great from my end no drop outs. Great pics in HD
                                          Great if it carries on like this.

                                            Agreed. I think they must have been given SD footage then upscaled it.
                                            Watching a game from 2014 the ball got a bit blurry when it started to move fast, but live last night no such issues

                                              Verblitz v Brave Lupus starting soon.

                                              Hooper + Read in one back row and Leitch + Todd in the other, according to the blurb.

                                              But I'm about to go to the pub, so will catch it later

                                                  I was thinking today about the licensing setup and how that works for venues.

                                                  The erosion of traditional pay TV promises to be interesting

                                                    its an interesting idea, i wonder what the deal is

                                                    during our lockdown i was talking to the owner of one of our local pubs, asked if he was showing the AFL whist i was waiting for takaway

                                                    he said foxtel charges hundreds a week to be able to show it in a pub and it was one of the first things they got rid of...like stupid money, if stan/9 are cleaver they'll look at that

                                                      It's hard to imagine Aussie pubs forking out for Stan for rugby unless it is dirt cheap. Different story if it was NRL or AFL obviously, but rugby just doesn't seem to have the pull over here. The screens with Super Rugby always seem to be the ones being ignored.

                                                          There's a bit more to it.

                                                          A deal fell through late last week.

                                                          Some dodginess going on by the sounds.

                                                          The majority of Super Rugby matches will not be aired in pubs and clubs around Australia after a deal between Stan Sport and Sky Channel was pulled on the eve of the first game of the season.
                                                          
                                                          Sources with knowledge of negotiations told the Herald the deal was scuppered at the 11th hour after a Tabcorp senior executive learnt Sky Channel had reached an agreement without the consent of its parent company, Tabcorp.
                                                          
                                                          Equally, Tabcorp officials were concerned that Racing NSW chief executive Peter V’landys, a key partner of the wagering giant, had not been consulted prior to the deal being brokered.
                                                          
                                                          Industry sources say V’landys, who is also the chairman of the Australian Rugby League Commission, had not vetoed the deal. However, they say he was unhappy about Sky Channel’s agreement with Stan Sport as he believed it would have a negative impact on wagering.

V’landys did not want to comment when contacted on Friday night.

                                                                          now im ditching foxtel i'll try and do the same (new local) for things like cricket or potentially the ABs in europe?

                                                                                    @crazy-horse When I was in Adelaide last year during the initial Super Rugby season, they didn't even show many games on Fox Sports.

                                                                                    I have foxtel and they were all broadcast, must just be the choice of the pub what they show

                                                                                    In the case of one particular match, Fox wasn't broadcasting it in South Australia. I checked their website at the time.

                                                                                    I mean, they would have loved to, but only 5 channels and 300 games of AFL....

                                                                                    I remember finding an English pub willing to put on a Bledisloe game for me, on one of their three sports channels. A fucking tight match, either side could win... and 10 minutes to go, they switch the channel. I'm all "what the actual fucking fuck!?", and they're like "yeah, well, it's the first weekend of sook-ball, and the other channels are taken by other sook-ball games, so this one's going to show Bumfuck United vs Cockwomble Wanderers... and the 20 minute pre-match is just about to start". A pre-match for some 4th grade unknown match-up was more important than an international test between 2 of the top-3 teams in the world (I'm pretty sure the yellow-shirts were around #3 at the time)

                                                                                    Fucking fluffybunnies. Even during the 2015 World Cup, hosted by the pricks, I was in pubs where 90% of the TVs were dedicated to some bullshit sook-ball, with a small TV in the corner showing rugby for the sake of the thousands of fans who'd flown in to the country for a major event.

                                                                                    And this was BEFORE england got kicked out of their own tournament. Jesus, it's good to remember that happening.
