How much will Telstra charge for live games to Tablets and Mobiles?

The AFL Live app reviews in the App Store.

Ah sorry I just read it as the NRL app, not the AFL one.

Reading through them there do seem to be plenty of complaints so be interesting to see what the NRL one is like. I won't be using it given the Foxtel Go app will be streaming all games live anyway.

I imagine some poor blokes in Bangalore are burning the midnight oil to get it out in time. Bit of a debacle really.

Nice

 

[Desert Qlder]

So not on tablets? This has been a deadset headfck.

 

[herbert henry1908]

So I guess the big question for those without fox is will AirPlay work on the iPhone ?

If not there is good news , jailbreak your iPhone and you should be able to throw the phone image up on your TV with an Apple TV.

 

[Rosetta]

It will be available for tablets from Origin I.

 

[Paullyboy]

I think the way I read that is that given I'm in England, it won't work?

Would jail breaking my phone get around that?

 

[mepelthwack]

Sooooo.............

If I pay $90 now do I have to pay $90 again before origin 1 to watch on tablet then or will it be transferable?

 

[Danish]

so is this in the App Store yet or what? The unmetered for telstra customers is a good selling point as I'll basically only be using these streaming apps if I'm stuck at a party or out somewhere away from foxtel during the season so might actually be worthwhile over the foxtel app.

 

[Edwahu]

The press release links to the 2012 app. You would hope it updates and isn't seperate.

 

[Lockyer4President!]

Sooooo.............

If I pay $90 now do I have to pay $90 again before origin 1 to watch on tablet then or will it be transferable?

Apparently the subs in the AFL are tied to the account so you can pay once to watch on both iPhone or iPad. Would assume it's the same deal for the NRL version

What's it like trying to watch a game on a phone? Can't imagine it would be good on such a small screen. Also, how good is the streaming?

 

[Edwahu]

I'd think streaming should be ok since the resolution only needs to be small for a phone. Should be....

 

[DMS]

When are these bozos gonna release the app for android.......I work shift work.....it's the only way I can watch

 

[HankScorpio]

So I guess the big question for those without fox is will AirPlay work on the iPhone ?

If you have a 4S or 5 then you should be able to stream anything to the Apple TV, don't think it needs to be enabled in the app. Double tap and swipe to the left.

I wonder if you can watch through Xbox since they have Foxtel streaming services.

Yeah but id say a lot of people plan on connecting their device to a TV.

 

[Paullyboy]

I can't find this app, is it out yet or not? This thread is a bit confusing with some of the dead links that have been thrown around
