White Line Wireless will be doing the full commentary. I listened to them when we played India last year as I was also overseas at the time. It's a bit different to traditional coverage but that is not necessarily a bad thing either.

If you know someone with Foxtel, just download the Foxtel App and you should be able to log in under their account and watch it live. Doesn't cost them any extra

It doesn't cost any extra, but it chews through your phone data like there is no tomorrow...

The best app ever! Five devices allowed under one account


Have been on the lounge watching Foxtel (racing) with 2 iPads in front of me running different sports at the same time

Good thinking Brodlach..... That wasn't an option for me last year. It is now though. I have also had an extra set top box installed now, so I can have Foxtel in 2 rooms at the same time on different channels.

I won’t get a second box because of the app, extra cost for no reason. Would rather Chromecast or Apple TV to the second TV

the app wont let you chromecast from your phone/tablet to a tv

you can use the laptop to plug into the tv though, although the windows/mac version of the apps doesnt have the footy

yeah thats the same.

for the AFL its because the mobile rights are sold seperately

For foxtel its because they still want you to buy a second box instead of just streaming to your second tv
