Yeah you're right although the quality for me seems pretty good? I haven't compared it to Foxtel side by side though.
Can we start a campaign to get AFL off Foxtel?

More quality than netflix.
Being cheap doesnt make it worthwhile.
I live in Nsw to.
Think foxtel has a lot more value than netflix or stan (combined as well). That may change in the future but ita true now.

It just takes some creative thinking... Pal.
Foxtel pays something like $250 million a year for the rights.
So if you want streaming to your TV (not mobile, because that's extra), you're going to need 1 million subscribers paying $250 a year just for AFL rights. Which is $41/month for when the season is actually on. Which isn't that much cheaper than just getting Foxtel.

Nah mate it really doesn't but I guess its subjective. General pop would disagree with you.
Netflix and stan has more movies (both old and new), more series, more kids "quality" shows, less cartoon network drawn by 6 year old artists shows on repeat. Like Adventure time and the regular show like wtf...
No movies at all in basic package, 30 of their 40 "channels" in basic pack are filler to give the appearance of lots of options these include fan favourites such as: Aljazeera, CNN, Sky news, Sky Weather, Sky business, Fox news, EXPOshow, China news, NHK world, BBC world news, Aurora, CGTN, APAC, CNBC, RT, TVSN, SBN, Hillsong, ACC tv, bloomberg, Sky racing, Sky thoroughbred etc.
If didn't know better I would say you are a Foxtel employee or rep.

It does and its an opinion.
So you speak for the general pop now?
If i didnt know better i would say you work for Netflix.
Dont go down that route. Its poor.
Edit.
So you think getting every AFL NRL A-League, Internationals, Rugby (all), all the major USA sports (including wrestling), Supercar for 50 bucks (as you cant haggle) is being taken for a ride?
Think youre undervaluing the product by a long way.
You think netflix and other services would offer all that sport for your 8 dollars?
If all you want is footy, get telstra with the free AFL Live pass and youll be fine. Otherwise.

I personally think you could throw all the other channels in the bin and Fox Sports would be worth it for the monthly cost.
Call me a sucker or whatever, that's just the way I feel about it.
AFL footy is probably about the cheapest professional game in town in terms of admission, about $25 for a game.
With Fox I can get a whole month of every single game live (say 36 games) into my loungeroom. Plus every NRL game live. Every A League game live. Super Rugby. All the cricket tours. All the golf majors. Sky Racing. ESPN x 2 and BEIN x 3. It sucks they lost the EPL but there's still plenty of soccer content and EPL club channels.
And it's 100% reliable unlike streaming through the terrible internet we have.
For $50 - $60 a month??
Each to their own, for me it defines the term "no brainer".

I pay for that option at 25$ which i am happy to do, what I am not happy with is the "entertainment" pack that must accompany it at a further 25 dollars for what amounts to glorified shopping and news programs.
So would i which is the point.
Sport pack at $25 stand alone cheers.
Hell they do that then I might even add the $25 dollar drama pack or movies pack or one of the pother packs that isn't filled with s**t.

Except its a 50 dollar bill (if you wont haggle) which is still fair and reasonable.

IF "I" wont haggle? yes because when they flatly say no after repeated attempts at a better deal even at a higher price point, it is "I" who refuses to haggle. Couldn't even get free HD chucked in...What the?
On top of this paying $50 with enough "quality" channels I have no issue with. It is what they are forcing us to have at the 50 dollars which is my issue.
The Entertainment pack. 25 dollars worth of s**t that largely has programs no one wants to watch.

As i stayed earlier there is plenty. Just look at the sport on offer.
50 is a bargain for all that.

You seem to take offence at anyone who thinks its worth it.

An extra game would be welcomed by TV audiences regardless, crowds would suffer a bit due to junior footy, but it would be pretty good at princes park or another revamped suburban ground.
I disagree. There are heaps of Sports available.
$50 is chicken feed these days. Not even 10 pots of beer.

Foxtel Play is in HD on Telstra TV. All you need is a Telstra Community account(which is free) to activate the Telstra TV.
Rumor has it, that all other devices are going to be streamed in HD on June 4th.
Every game is live and free on the Crownbet app.
Hell of a lot cheaper than $50 per month.

If i didnt have fox I'd actually have to associate with other humans
Hey I hate Foxtel as much as the next man, but let's not bring Adventure Time into this.
