They've not advised which matches they're getting yet so I think he means on fox itself.

Foxtel, cant remember which game is the main game but we are one of 2 or 3 games on demand.

So the "on demand" thing u are talking about, do u mean the active where u press the red button and choose the game? or are u talking internet?

Just checked and we're one of the live matches on iiNet

Have you watched any of the live streams? What is the quality like? I have only watched the on demand games so far

The quality is exactly the same.
I have noticed they usually have 1 stream with weirdly loud audio, but that only matters when flicking between streams, and I'm thinking we won't be doing that this week

Sorry I meant the buffering. Is it buffer free?

[Larakin15]

So to finalise this for me - i only have normal Foxtel (not I.Q) and only crappy dial-up internet at home - is there ANY chance of me seeing Sundays game then?

don't think so mate unless you can get broadband hooked up before the weekend

[jakle]

You don't need I.Q on your foxtel to watch the game, but you do need foxtel digital.

Yes. If your connection can't cope it just gives you choppy video, but as long as you're greater than 1.5mbit you should be fine on high quality and >512k for normal.

Does help as well if you go into option for media player and increase the buffer time to 20s or so for the inevitable bumps of the net to be ironed out.
