Im pretty sure you can get a two-week free trial. Test it out and see what you think. You definitely can watch replays of all games but they dont live stream all games. You can change quality of vids to suit your bandwidth. I say try it out, but for little more than the cost of the weekend newspaper, its not a bad deal.

In small print on the ad, I think it says 2 week trial only for those who sign up for a year. Work that one out.

I tried it out for a week for free - if your a ticketed member of a club they will give you 4 weeks free - I quit after 1 week - no charges - it was ok if you don't have access to fox. I didn't like the size of the screen they use - you can't expand it to full screen. Quality was fine and no lagging.

Yeah, but you can cancel at any time. Plus, I think you can get 4 weeks free.
I have it and I don't mind it, but the picture is a bit small on a mobile. Would be much better on a tablet.

Yeah as others have pointed out, they do take your card details and will continue to charge until you actively quit the subscription.
You can quit at the end of the two week trial with no cost. You can activate and quit the subscription at your leisure
I watch on pc and image is no HD blueray quality but its better than missing the game.

I bought it at the start of last season. It worked really well for me via Telstra 4G and home ADSL.
This year I seem to be getting frequent errors while trying to watch games suggesting I don't have internet connection, which is not true. Could be me, could be my phone or it could be them. Their support forum has a tonne of similar complaints to mine.
Keep in mind you can only watch live games that are live in your state. So only one live game Friday night and the usual one hour delay on Sunday afternoon.
Overall, despite the problems I have I don't mind it. Picture is pretty good. I don't have Foxtel as I don't want TV taking over my life. I mainly watch bits and pieces of live games while watching something else on TV, halftime shows while I'm at the game. If Tigers are on Foxtel, I prefer watching it at a friends house or at the pub.

Do they try to lock the size on the pc? On the iPad it's locked to almost half the screen size which is ridiculous

That's on Ipad also, so interested to hear if the same thing happens on PC
it's great for me, on the go (and on telstra) so i can watch on my phone heaps.
I usually watch tigers games with it too on my computer. To get around the stupid 'no fullscreen' rule they have just zoom in on the webpage and press F11 on your computer to go fullscreen (or go into the menu thingo and fullscreen/zooming options should be there too).
Quality is fine, no dropouts on my mobile/tablet but i get a few on the laptop.

I did the two week trial and then signed up for 12 months. The screen size is small but its a lot cheaper than fox and more reliable than fox to go. For 90 bucks to be able to see every game live to me is excellent value.
On the screen size, they have to protect Foxes product,if they gave you a large screen size, people would drop out of fox

Hi guys. Can subscriptions be used on different platforms. Bought mine through appstore and want to use on an Android phone.

Have heard it was a complete disaster during the nines and many people were scared off after that experience
Like most things that sound too good to be true and are run by Telstra it has had some teething problems

Yep, heaps of paid customers couldn't watch the games and weren't too happy. Was a bit of a joke

I signed up for it a couple of weeks ago but can only afford the $1.99 when i need to. It worked great then :slight_smile:
Oh well, at least I have another day to sort it. And my generator should run the fridge and the wifi. Worst case I will hope for you fine people to keep me updated.
