Live streaming to the UK on bigpond TV

[Stillman]

I wondered how long it would be before the NRL/Telstra would stuff up the whole live streaming gig to foreign countries. Each week it has become a shorter and shorter telecast and it now 32 minutes into the days matches it looks like we won't be getting today's games at all. Booo

You can go to the pub...

Us stupid Australians living in London don't get it so easy.

On a brighter note, they just started the stream. At half time...

Also include Ireland & the USA - basically, anywhere where Setanta lost the NRL rights when they went arse-up.

I've been loving the live steaming since sentanta went down which has been great but after getting up at 8.30am to watch the Eagles v bunnies game was disappointed to find this game was not being streamed. :x
I tried again for the bronco's v sharks game a couple of hours ago but still no joy.

On the NRL.com website livesteaming for Expats was advertised weekly in the news feed articles but hasn't been so since the 20th of July so am guessing something is wrong with it??

I'm sure that you can go to the Pub but it's a little inconvenient at 8.30 in the morning.....

Apparently they are only streaming 5 games a week now. Not sure if this is due to rights or what.

AFL fans overseas had the same problem when Setanta went bust.

For a couple of weeks UK residents got free live streaming of every game from afl.com.au and now the rights have been picked up by ESPN in the UK for the rest of this year and the next 2yrs.

Is anyone watching the streams today? The Tigers/Eels game is not working properly for me while the dragons/broncs is. Could it just be my sh*t laptop?

There is always one channel which is crap - i.e. jumps about. Happens it is the Tigers Eels game.

Really pisses me off.

It didn't happen until last week for me. Damn it is annoying. Way to turn Uk based league fans away from the NRL, Bigpond.

is there a way to tell in advance whether they'll be streaming or not (kinda like a tv guide) or is it potluck?
