Moved Thread Fox Footy now on Foxtel GO

[theflea]

Because then for an example your girlfriend does not have Foxtel, you can give her your login details and she gets free foxtel?
Or if you are on holiday and want to watch Foxtel on the go, you can plug it in and watch it on your TV?

What a silly question?

Ill pm you for details.

Not necessarily, I'm told Google wants to continue to use third parties for the nexus phones (despite the issues they had with HTC ripping them off in the original nexus and Samsung doing not much better with the Galaxy Nexus - both of these guys held out on some features and put them in their own phones released at the same time, with otherwise identical specs). For example, Motorola isn't doing the next Nexus Tab, Asus is. HTC won't be in the good books anytime soon though.

Motorola and Google are working on a separate project, the X phone. And there are further tablets and phones in the pipeline.

Haha just today my Samsung absolutely cooked itself and is now a brick for no apparent reason, and cannot be waken out of its dire state. It reminded me of this post. Time to check out the Xperia.

Ability to add a 3rd mobile device has just been updated. I haven't tried it but apparently you can use an AV adapter and a jail broken iPhone to bypass the Airplay restrictions... but you didn't hear it from me.

Foxtel Go now available on android and PC, only on samsung S3 and i think note. Can get around it fairly easily if you have rooted your device. Check the whirlpool forums for more info. Cant wait to get home and give it a go!

Has anyone tried using Foxtel Go App and AirParrot from their PC to TV via Apple TV?

Dammit! Not keen to root my device. Surely it will work on the Nexus 4 at some point?

At some point it probably will. It will be a Samsung timed exclusive you would think... Not sure for how long though.

Strange exclusive considering it has been available for months in the Apple world.

Just read up on how to crack the .apk. Pretty straight forward.

yeah very straight forward to crack, as long as you are okay with rooting your phone you are all good.

Footy not available on PC/Mac version.

I hate Samsung, when is it being released on HTC

Footy not available on PC/Mac version.

Really? Bloody hell. What about the other fox sports channels?

Yeah all bar the AFL.

Apparently the broadcast rights prevent it.

Can only get AFL on iPhone/iPad.

 

[S for September]

I guess you could use the tablet .apk and output to hdmi? bloody annoying.

 

[cammo78]

I just had both running at once last Friday night...iPad with the footy, Mac with the Ashes. Winning.

Pity Foxfooty isnt being offered on the Foxtel Play option (over broadband).

Same reason as the non-PC availability.

Fox Footy is available on Foxtel Play in the Sports package, but like Foxtel Go - it's not available on PC/MAC.

Bump.

How have people's experiences been with this on iPad/Android devices?

As a Foxtel customer with the Sports package, is it just as simple as downloading the app onto an iPad then watching a game that is on TV (or another available program) on the iPad at the same time?

 

[Watson_my_mind]

I don't have a samsung phone, can I root my HTC and get foxtel go on there ?

You have to edit some files as well. I think there is a guide on the whirlpool forums

I have it on my iPad and I've found the quality to be excellent. When I got it I thought I would be getting constant buffering or errors every few minutes like the AFL Live App, but I've had no issues at all. Once you download the app, you use your online foxtel ID and password to login and it's good to go. You can watch a different program to what your TV has on, so Saturday nights you can watch both games at the same time.

Note to self: get iPad.

 

[kosifantutti]

The nice thing I find is if you missed the start of the game, you can go back up to 30 minutes. I think I'll go and do that now.

I'm assuming it works overseas - assuming you have a data/wifi connection?
