Ok will do - but technically it's not "illegal" you still have to pay a subscription and the courts and Australian government have previously stated it is not illegal to circumvent geoblocking.

Agreed. But I don't need to be a test case for the AFL that want to shut down any such discussion. Please respect that.

Nah but I've got an AppleTV so was able to stream from iPad to that. When the cameras still and zoomed in it's ok but panning down the ground was horrific couldn't even see the ball.

What sort of connections were you using?

I'm currently intending to cancel foxtel and buy a digital membership through the club (annoying that it's only mobile/ tablet =/).

Currently the plan is to stream the game to my phone (iPhone 6+) and connect the phone to the tv via a lightning to hdmi adapter, then a traditional hdmi cord. I've tried this set up with youtube and personal videos and the clarity is normally pretty good...

I've got Bigpond Cable Ultimate and stream NFL in the same manner with no issue (wifi to iPad then airplay to ATV.)

The issue isn't connection the issue is resolution - the resolution the AFL Live app produces is finally for phones /tablets but blow it up to watch on a TV and it's an extremely poor quality (for me anyway who is used to HD). They do this on purpose so that people don't do exactly what you want to do, that is ditch Foxtel for an AFL live subscription as it will cost them money at the next rights negotiations.

Having said that you should wait til the NAB Challenge and see if they offer a free trial as they did last year - then you can test it yourself to decide whether to switch. Alternatively you could probably suspend your Foxtel for a month and sign up for a month subscription to test. It may work better for you or the quality downgrade may not be as big of anew issue for you.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
