2017 Round 6: Post game Awesomeness

[cookie2]

Oh gees, don't get me started on the AFL live pass abomination.  So finally decided to pull the pin & fork out last night.  Tried on the PC first up for a "Live Pass"......credit card payment wouldnt' go through, despite having no problem with it all weekend at shops, bars, restaurants etc etc.  Thought I'd then try the version on the App Store (which I understand is slightly different....wft?), anyway, subscribed for this & all ready to go .......and what do I see, only 2nd & 4th quarters are available of the "Full Match Replay !!!!"

what a pile of ****.

Memo to the AFL, if you are going to force people to pay for every single bit of content, you need to make sure that the content is there asap when people want to watch it.

I'll try again tonight.

as an aside......GO Blues !!!

cheers

I will NOT pay a brass razoo for Live Pass as I believe that even on a tablet PC the picture is only phone screen size. I figure a complete boycott is the best policy. If a lot of people do the same maybe the knobheads at the AFL will get the message?

The performance was sometimes pretty cr@ppy anyway - prone to buffering issues etc. Technically I suspect the underlying infrastructure is not up to it - crap product at a premium price IMO - Foxtel is calling the shots.
