You'll need a geo-unblock service to access this offer. I've used AFL Global before and Getflix supports it, I believe UnoTelly do also.

For me it provides a great picture and for an Apple TV user it's able to be airplayed.

          Because for most, I would think it would at least include winning 16 Premierships!
          Plus I could throw in the fact that we've beaten you 125 times out of 250 matches… with 4 draws.
          Won 14 of our 22 finals encounters & 5 of the 6 times we've met at the big one!!!

    • herbo on 03/06/2015 - 11:47

      Given that's the Friday night match it would be on free to air anyway, but with this at least you can watch it without ads.

      • lewislardboy on 03/06/2015 - 11:55

        Is the streaming quality better than Channel 7's 'quality'? Definition wise.

        • herbo on 03/06/2015 - 12:02

          For me airplaying it to Apple TV the picture is better than the standard channel 7. At least it was when I last used it which was the free round last year. Would depend on who your ISP is as well.

      • happychild100 on 03/06/2015 - 11:57

        Ah good point, I don't often get to watch them now that I live in Brisbane.

    Great stuff. I've been wanting to test this service before deciding whether the 6 month pass is worth it.

    • lysp on 03/06/2015 - 17:22

      Same for me, gives me a good chance to test it to see how well it works on my tv.

  • wattstar on 03/06/2015 - 13:26

    I think this service is way too expensive. Last year it was only $89 for an annual pass and this year it has gone up to $149!

    Foxtel have no lock in at the moment and is $50 per month for sports package. If you already have outlet equipment installed there is only a $25 postage fee for a new box (old IQHD box gets included if you sweet talk the operator). Quality of Foxtel HD is 100% better plus you get a heap of other channels as a bonus.

    The longer you sign up, the more offers you can get.

    • glenr on 03/06/2015 - 13:32
      +1

      Technically it's $60/month as HD is an additional $10/month.

      • wattstar on 03/06/2015 - 14:33

        True, SD is probably slightly above the global pass service being streamed via AirPlay. Both services crap all over the local iPhone pass being offered to Australia.

        I finished up signing up for 6 months so they threw in the HD and sports for the first 2 months, then I will pay full price for 1 month ($60), then cut it back to $25 thereafter. $210 all up for the 6 months, but like I said there are other channels included which I will watch.

        • blahman on 03/06/2015 - 15:15
          +1

          $60 a month, might as well just turn up to the games.

        • dazweeja on 03/06/2015 - 15:36

          So for 3 of the 6 months you will be paying $25 and not getting the sports channels? So in your scenario you've paid $210 for three months of sport (plus other Foxtel content, which for the last three months on the basic $25 plan is mostly rubbish)? Doesn't really sound like great value to me.

      • chill on 03/06/2015 - 16:48

        $51.25 on a 12 month telstra contract, with free install and IQHD box.

    • herbo on 03/06/2015 - 13:54

      I agree it is too expensive, but for this round it's free. No way I'd pay for it or Foxtel. If only AFL operated a free overseas live stream like the NRL does then all we would need is the geo-unblocker.

      Reality is that for me most weeks I'm only looking to watch a match on Friday and Saturday nights and generally they're always on free to air.

    I use the watchafl with getflix every week after foxtel couldnt provide me with IQ or HD functionality. The streaming hooked up to my 42" HD TV is not HD - but its better than SD Foxtel without a doubt.

    The only annoying thing is at qtr/half time, the same ads for WatchAFL roll… ALL-SEASON-LONG. Seriously, it drives me mad - I've already paid for the service, why keep berating me with the same ads for 24 weeks! ARGH!

        Only during qtr/half time. And when i say ads.. Its more like a 'your watching watch afl, the official broadcast for international viewers of the afl' type ad. Still get the halftime shows, but instead of tv ads, you get the same annoying infomercial about watch afl

    Got it all hooked up via HDMI out on laptop.

    Quality is OK but they are only streaming from the fox SD channel, which would be less than 720p? and it just seems generally jerky, not worth the money imo.

    First I'd like to say thanks to the OP for posting this one .. have been curious to try it for a while.

    I watched a couple of games yesterday using a Microsoft Surface Pro 2 connected to my 42" 1080p TV via HDMI.

    Is the quality better than channel 7's downmixed AFL broadcasts?
    I'd say yes and no. "Yes" because the resolution is higher with less artifacting. "No" because on most moving scenes the picture loses clarity and definition and also because, as another person mentioned, the picture is a bit jerky, certainly not smooth. They may claim 25 fps, but I can tell you it isn't. Chan7 is much smoother, even though the picture quality is poor.
    Despite the jerkiness it is still watchable. Any more jerky, then it wouldn't be.
    It is still much better than the rubbish quality served up on AFL Live Pass.

    Is it worth the $149 annual fee? If you have no other access to watch games, probably yes, but otherwise not worth it for me. If they presented a higher selectable bitrate (say 5Mbps) and also got rid of the jerkiness then it probably would be worth it.
