This is what I did after the phone-hacking scandal. Never looked back and have saved over $500 this year.

Salvo - Isn't it annoying watching a game on your tablet or phone? It's too small bro.

It's like watching ants play footy.

I only get foxtel for league, other sport is a bonus, but i can live without them if the nrl is poorly shown.

Hi mate,

Doesn't it remain small though?

Big TV with a game of ant footy in the middle?

I'm stuck with austar for the foreseeable future, but I gather it's a notch above 9 (which I can't pick up).

It's their agenda driven shows during the week that let us down.
What have we got?
The Ikin squawk.
Sterlo kisses the ass of pet guest show.
The Johns "comedy hour"

All these pathetic efforts have one thing in common.
They seem to spend a lot of air time covering other sports.

Absolutely... Who wants to watch sport on their phone for crissakes?

Look that's fair enough, but I can handle it on the iPad just fine. Lay back on the couch with the iPad resting on a cushion on my gut with the screen literally 20cm from my eyes and ears.

I'd be lying if I claimed it was better than an HD TV, but with it, live games and free-to-air I'm happy.

Plus I have an Apple TV through which I can technically push the media to a TV, but I prefer my mad couch sitch.

I'm definitely cancelling my two outlets of Foxtel after this season, and even though I'm not a great fan of channel 9 , its ally cheaper to get a season pass with the NRL and watch games on smart TV, phone, tablet etc....
League was the only reason I subscribe to Foxtel and now so pissed off that if they prefer AFL then let's see how many top rating programs they get without the league games.
I hope mr smith & co have the balls not to give the rights to Foxtel unless they match the AFL deal.

OMR, apart from potential teething issues with NRL Pass, you won't look back.
After the fallout from SuperLeague, I have never and will never subscribe to their service

It's really quite good. You are portable. I think if you invest in Apple TV you can project it onto the TV. Better experts on here than me can confirm this

Well then, Murdoch and i are officially on the rocks with an estimated break up at seasons end.

Cheers boys and girls.

I can't give up Foxtel. I need my Megyn Kelly fix from Fox News.

I celebrate the 11th March every year with a toast to Rupert and the fact he's one year closer to dying.

Chook.

I bought the chromecast to mirror my foxtel go app from someone I know who has foxtel. It worked perfectly playing nrl games on my phone and mirroring to my TV through the chromecast but for some reason it doesn't work anymore. It just remains on the loading page. I thought foxtel mist have got on to the glitch and had fixed it.

Can anyone else still do this?

You can not play live NRL matches from their app on smart TVs. You can with replays but that is all. They only want it to be displayed "small" for live games, if you wish to watch it in full screen you have to go with Foxtel. Sucks.
