Aussie rules overseas

[The Dice Man]

I'll be in France for this footy season, just wondered what will be the best way to watch games?

Have an aus iPhone and a Mac. Can you get chanels over there or is web based best way to go? And how much?

Agreed.

Being an overseas Aussie myself, I'm happy to help others looking for content as lets be honest, finding AFL content overseas is the most stressful process of traveling!

Also in France, and this is the way to go. Was a bit flakey at times last year, but seems to have been a bit more solid over the NAB cup.

If you have access to Eurosport 2, they show a kind of highlights package (just the goals basically ...), plus one hour of one of the matches each week.

Spoke too soon. Richmond v Carlton - they only managed to get it working for the first half, blank screen for the rest.

Incompetent. Maybe save your money ....??

It is a nightmare getting the Credit Card through the AFL sport website.

It is a hi-tech secure site - Will have another crack tomorrow.

Works for me. Have had some real frustrations with it, but generally it is fine and worth the money. I've been living in Europe for many years, and the launch of this site improved my overall experience of life immeasurably. Donc, ca vaut la peine. Bon amusement.
ps there are teams in Paris, I think Strasbourg and here and there elsewhere in France if you need to have a kick.

OK in France now and looked at the AFL site and it costs 99 for the yearly subscription... Any advice on the quality/reliability of this service... or is there an easier "cheaper" option?

Im using my GFs(who is French and dont understand AFL, but doesnt begrudge moi) Mac and want to be ablz to watch the footy LIVE

I'm based in the US and have been using the AFL Live TV site (linked above) for the last few years. It's certainly worth the subscription and looks to be faster and more reliable this season than it has been in the past.
I can vouch for the site itself, but obviously the quality of your internet connection will be a factor.

Works on a mac. Good value considering you get every game live. Quality is in the main pretty good as well

I'm in Calgary (Canada) and have been using the AFL Live .tv site for about 2 years, it is pretty good for the money you pay. I can confirm it works on Mac and Linux (Any OS that allows you to install flash player basically). I usually hook up a HDMI cable to my wifes Mac and plug it into the 48 inch TV.

check out if there are any aussie pubs around.not sure about france but in germany there are plenty of afl teams so they might get together and watch the games.Did are ring around in 05 whilst in switzerland and got a local hotel owner to play the grand final for us,so got to watch it live up in the swiss alps

I can vouch for www.afl.livesport.tv

I have been using it here in the USA for the last 2 years,and this year the quality and content has been much better. I stream it through my pc and onto a 60" plasma, and it is watchable. The live games seem to work really well, but they ocassionally have problems getting replays up on the site. Tech support via email is really good.

Plenty is surely overstated. And the games are pretty early, too.
