Catching the action from overseas

[Demon 16]

Ive posted this thread on the main board as well, but maybe you guys are able to assist me - BC and a few others have used the AFL sanctioned Bigpond/Aussiesportstv web service in the past I beleive.

Anyway, I have subscribed in time to watch the streamed NAB Cup matches, but I just cant get the video working. I press play, it tells me 'connecting' and a few seconds later it says 'ready' and I just have a black screen. Ive tried a few things but cant get it working.

Unfotunately Im not particularly computer literate - only to know that my 1 RAM module is probably not the problem. Do any of you guys have some ideas?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated as I REALLY want to catch our NAB cup match against Freo after reading all the reports from Super and co on the practise match last week.

Feel free to use this thread to discuss international viewing and following of the footy in general as well..

You on a PC or a Mac? Nightmare with Macs .. well, doesn't work basically.

Which is absurd, ridiculous, flabbergasting etc. etc., but there it is. When it comes to the Net, the AFL are still back in the dark ages ...

There are alternatives. Apparently. Cough cough.

Im on a PC but I have heard it is rubbish on a Mac. I worked out my problem - I needed to delete my DRM folder.

Disappointing that only highlights are up for NAB Cup matches..

Don't even get me started on the Mac problem.

Disgrace.

Ah unlucky BC. Have you found another way to catch the action from London?

Is there not a Aussie Bar in London, where you can watch it????

There are quite a few Aussie pubs you can imagine, but most will be closed by the time the game kicks off.

If youre not fussed about catching it live I think a few pubs will put games up during the week.

2.30pm Sunday (GMT).
A live stream online would be about 5-6hrs earlier?? The Walkabout's time is not too bad for a replay. Demon 16, There's prob other pubs aswell if this isnt close for you....

Ah thanks Gynomite.

Im in Fulham and The Kings Head (aka The Slug & Lettuce) will be showing games too. I emailed them for times yesterday.

Could be due for a session at the dirty old Walkabout though..

Haha dirty Walkabout, so so true....
Thats where my day will start on Sat for the Blues game, but I dont think I'll be staying there, it gets wayyy too messy!! Plenty of other pubs.

Did you find out what the times are for The Kings head? (nothing on their website...)

 

[Bartram_Class]

No need for the walkabout-bashing thank you very much.

London icon.

No news yet - Ill follow them up.

I get the impression BC will see us there after he finishes up at the Church..
