TV Rights

Aren’t sbs showing both tonight? I’ll probably just stream the other game to my iPad or laptop. Big decision of what I go with

 

[Zidane98]

Yeah showing Aus v Peru on main channel and Fra v Den on Viceland.

 

[Billy ray]

Hmm. My sbs is a bit dodgy so switched to fetch mini - its a good 30 seconds behind which sucks

I am not sure how something being shown on television can vary from one TV to another.

I watched the Euro 2016 Poland vs Portugal penalty shootout in a pub where the tv in the other room was 3 seconds ahead of the tv in our room. Totally killed the immersion when you know the outcome of the penalty based on the yelling from the other room.

Interesting thread. Don’t lurk into soccer territory much. Anyway, I had a job (for a Dutch media company) working on a series of videos for Twitter about business client engagement through their platform. I was asked to find ‘positive customer engagement’, so I spent a couple of days filtering through the vitriol. What a monumental f-up. And the fact this is still happening...

The one positive for Optus is no Craig Foster

 

[Milang_Panthers]

Works on XBox One..

Yeah Xbox one works great.

Fairly sure I just got refunded from Optus, did this happen to anyone else? Got a $14.99 refund from the Apple store and this was basically my only subscription.

 

[drd23]

Nope, still no refund for me

Is it true Optus have all the round 16 games exclusively?

TV Guide has each early game on SBS

its the knowing that sucks as well.
If you hadn't had checked, you wouldn't really care most of the time.
always bugs me when i know one stream is behind another. When i don't know, i never even think about it

i miss the Martin Tyler calling with SBS.

[drd23]

Not unexpected

 

[Macpotata]

Surprising

Do Optus lose all the money they gave to SBS for the rights?

Hope this doesn't mean that the one EPL game a week deal on SBS isnt affected.

Can't rely on Optus to handle demand on a LFC vs Man U 9.30pm KO for example.

Yep cos we’re really missing out on another Jose 0-0 masterclass if they do
That’s one derby that seems to not live up to the hype.

Cant beat Mel in the national shirt.

Wonder how many people got fired at Floptus?

Wonder how many people got fired at Floptus?

And... if they will talk and tell the world what went down

 

[Yidaki]

Right decision by Optus. Can you imagine the outrage if people couldn't stream round of 16 games? There would be people with torches, forks, and signs marching right to the front of the CEO's house.

In other news, Google Chromecast is down. FML.

 

[010203]

Before a ball was kicked in this World Cup, Optus had 39 exclusive games. They've probably ended up with just over a handful of exclusive games.

 

[RooBoyz24]

It has not turned out well for them
