Did you have any luck getting Optus to install satellite? You really shouldn't have to pay the monthly sat fee when you have no alternative. I'd be pushing that hard if I was you.
I can't deal with them any more, I have called them about 50 times and I swear they get dumber every time I talk. Am waiting a week before calling again to get my account credited and either discounted more or I'll just leave and use my brothers EPL login/reddit football highlights. Annoying thing is if my internet wasn't so shocking it'd be/is a great product

Maybe he didn't get your email because it's still sending?
Swear to god if it is in the sending folder I'll buy a pigeon, snap its head off and put a handwritten note in its neck and throw it through his window.

Apparently all live sports will be internet streamed in the future according to some......

I really do feel for you that don't have good internet.

I stream NFL/NBA/EPL/NRL etc on a phone/tablet/laptop/through a TV and have absolutely no issues whatsoever.

Don't know if this means they're struggling for subscribers but anyone paying $30 or more per month (on contract) can now get Optus sport free until July.

Late to the party but has anyone had issues airplaying from a Macbook to a TV through Apple TV Gen 3? Can get the audio but not the video, in fact on the Macbook the video goes on there as well as soon as I click airplay.

Usually coorps don't give away freebies when they're struggling.

I just use the Optus Sport app on the gen 4 Apple TV. Its worked when I've used it to watch the EPL, which is not much.

Sorry if it's been discussed already, but 150 pages is a bit too much bedtime reading for me.

If I am not committed to any telco, what's the best option for watching EPL. Mostly I'm keen on West Ham games, don't want a landline, need internet, not keen on pay TV but might consider it if it comes with NBA. Any suggestions?

Google pure vpn. They provide a star sports PL Feed IIRC. It's all legit and costs far less than Optus. Stream is 5 mins behind though.

Just get the minimum Optus plan you need.

Being able to watch stuff on the go is great.
