Will happen, but will have to wait for a new broadcast deal.

Why should he? So he can lose billions of dollars? What a stupid business move that would be.
Talk about some blind hate.
That's what people said for the last five years. And here we are, brand new deal, absolutely obvious that this is what people want, yet not included.
Doesn't mean it won't be coming, it's only a matter of time. Peoples viewing habits are changing.
So, Apple TV. What's it all about and how does it work in laymans terms? I've searched their site and it's one big ad.
I have the AFL international pass with apps on my iPhone and iPad. Last season I was connecting one of the MacBooks to the tv to watch live. Now for some reason the tv won't be detected by either mac( one is 2012 the other 2015), so trying to work out how I can get it on tv for this season.

Apple to HDMI connector ... depending on which device you have, make sure you get the right one. Should be around $50.
Just pumps whatever is playing on your device to your TV. Works well enough for AFL telecasts through the AFL Live app.
My 10 dollar mini display to hdmi cable used to work fine, but seems like an update has meant they generic ones can't be used anymore.
But thanks

Apple TV v3 is about $90. The new Apple TV v4 is over $200...but I believe the AFL has crippled things so that you cannot Airplay to Apple TV anyway.
Off topic Apple TV is great...I use it for Netflix, Stan, Youtube and other stuff.
I wonder if that applies to the INTL subscription, as Foxtel is a non issue with us.
Not really, they were comprehensively outbid and refused to match it.
No point spending $50 million if it's only going to make you (or save you) $20 million.
Obviously they think the loss in revenue from customers is going to be less (possibly a lot less) than the cost of the rights.

Using mirroring on Apple TV worked last season.

I'm sure it's been mentioned but I've got the international stream via a VPN running on my Intel nuc into my TV. Used it last year and the 720p stream worked well.
The previous year I had foxtel play (foxtel isn't wired in my building) and the stream quality was absolutely pathetic and buffered frequently on my 100/40 connection

Yes, Just a note though, I have a Samsung phone and Samsung TV.
I bought a "Link" off Ebay
I've used it many times, but now just use Screen Mirroring via my wireless network from my phone to the tv (Works great with no lag and good picture!)
The international stream quality was garbage at the start of last year. Either appallingly low resolution, or higher res but with jerky motion due to them being too stupid to convert one video format to another properly. Did this improve as the year went on?

Picked up a 1 year free subscription in an offer for Telstra mobile customers under this deal. Will see me until Julyish.
if you keep an eye out there are always free passes. I use a samsung tab s tablet and the quality is excellent and I can screen mirror wirelessly (quality doesnt look as crash hot on a big screen tv but serviceable) Interesting comments re: apple devices. I dont think its the AFL crippling its app, I'd say its Foxtel pushing Telstra to block it so people dont cancel their fox footy subscriptions.

Really dont understand why the afl live pass cannot simply be copied to the model of nba leaguepass and nfl gamepass. I have both and they a far, far superior service
Murdoch and $ to be made is way
Well if the Nrl app is anything to go by, I've just hooked my iPad up to the telly with a lightning to hdmi adapter and all I'm getting is audio. Not looking good.

That sounds concerning... Does everything else mirror correctly (ie just that app)?
