So some of you would have read the NRL app thread and it brought me to what I think is a pretty decent idea.
Foxtel Play is a service that allows you to have a Foxtel subscription on X-Box, PC, Mac etc. Basically internet based Foxtel. Foxtel also offer a service for subscribers called Foxtel Go. With Foxtel Play, subscribers are able to register to three other devices (but only use 2 at a time). That means you can take your Foxtel out with you on IPad, iPhone and Android devices.
Basically what this allows us to do, is get in groups of threes and chip in for one Foxtel Play account and gives each of us discount Foxtel throughout the NRL season. All it means is that while one of you can have it on the PC, the other two would only be able to watch it on their mobile or tablet. With Apple TV and Chromecast though, you would be able to stream your tablet and/or mobile device through the TV if you want, up to you really.
The minimum cost is $50 per month as you must have one of the "genre packs" before you can add the sports pack. There are four genre packs, a sports pack and a movies pack. https://www.foxtel.com.au/foxtelplay/build/package?execution=e1s1
If you're keen put your name down here as well as your preferred genre pack (so you can go in a group with other posters who also want that genre pack) and whether you want to be an account holder or just be a Go subscriber, meaning you only want to be able to watch on mobile or tablet. I think the fairest way to do it is to have the main subscriber get their laptop/PC/smart TV access + one device and the other two leech off it to get ipad, mobile device with the main subscriber paying 50% of the bill and the other two paying 25% each or something like that.
I'm down for kids pack and happy to be a main subscriber or a Go sub.
