Sideloaded the AFL app onto my android tv box (nvidia shield tv). Connected the box to my phone (setup as hotspot). Full screen steaming for free (as it's streaming over Telstra 4G) and the quality is great. Winning. Free live footy this year.
Only thing I needed to do was use a wireless mouse to select live games part of the app as the afl don't have a native android tv app (I couldn't select that part of the screen using the box remote, that required the mouse).
Actual quality is better than above, shot I took a bit blurry.
Edit: I need to confirm that the data is still free when my phone is setup as a hotspot. Anyone know if it is? I would have assumed so, but best to check before I go over my data allowance.
Edit 2: Have confirmed with Telstra that it will not count towards my data allowance as long as the phone is running as a hotspot.
