I can't even login to the app on my phone, it tells me the account doesn't exist! I've got an email saying my account has been blocked, yet login via the web browser fine and the payment has come outta my account....
Not looking good.
Works grand for me on liverugby.net. Don’t think you need to go via RugbyPass at all, although I’m hoping they will end up linking into their app.

Hmmm... them putting all the Super Rugby content on liverugby.net - is a bit of a prick.
It seems liverugby has much smarter geoblocking (looks like it's in AWS? They might have a better list of VPN proxies to block, maybe?).
I can still login to rugbypass, and look at Six Nations and whatever... but no Super Rugby for me, from any VPN location I've tried thus far. -

Back in NZ now, covid-forced repatriation. Long story, should probably do a big whinge in one of the appropriate threads some time.
But this evening, after a day of riding over the Rimutakas, lunch at Lake Ferry, ride back over the Hill - some beers and barmaids flirting - back home, and liverugby still being too geo-smart for me... I go searching for a dodgy website, and find one immediately (and cast-able). Can't complain. -

But sky is pretty damn expensive from memory. I personally think paid streaming will be the future rather than traditional broadcasters.

Yeah - I was happy with pseudo-legal means, giving some money to the source, but avoiding the massive media-monopolies... especially when I thought RugbyPass was some sort of independent entity bringing rugby to the masses, and deserving of my money.
I think I read somewhere in this thread, they're actually owned by Sky, or have been bought by them? In which case - I might re-consider. -
Signed up for a season of RugbyPass here in UK. Its the only option. Seriously Sky UK (BskyB) are absolute s@@@heads and are currently not showing any rugby, domestic or otherwise. Am going to cancel my sports package with Sky UK in protest though. Why should I pay for a non-existent product and subsidise other soccer channels for the masses when I don't want to watch soccer. I want to watch rugby. Let the soccer fools pay for their own channels.
Its absolute b@llucks when the rugby population here is starved of a product.
I;m very happy with RugbyPass, they take the entire feed from NZ and easily streamed and accessed via TV. Worth the season layout. -
@jailbreak7 plus any decent cricket is on BT sport and not even on sky's dedicated cricket channel. ITV and BBC have the internationals. What's the point?
-
Anyone else still using this? It's possibly likely to be my shitty internet, but since last weekend the feed has been really glitchy and stop-start, to the point of being almost unwatchable. The timing is astounding too, I only got to see 2 tries "live", the others it fucked out and didn't even come back in time to see the replays.
Anyone else having issues?

I have problems but not with RugbyPass itself - my TV or my laptop seem crap at casting - but I do have a 300MB fibre connection
Will be casting from my phone and the RugbyPass app tomorrow AM.

@victor-meldrew I use the browser on the tv itself, which makes thing a bit easier.

Great idea. Hadn't thought of that.

Has the added bonus that it pretty much never clears cookies so saves your login, means you don't have to type shit on an on screen keyboard using your remote, just after the first time go back to history when you next open it and click on the page - was working really well for SRA and SRAU for me.
-
Personally have had no problems. High quality and works well.
-
@bones Yeah, I've set up the Sony browser on my (crap) Bravia TV.

Hah that's what I have but I just find casting tends to be pretty average.

I sent them an email, asking to cancel my account.
But that was mostly due to them getting much better geoblocking ability - and it pretty much being useless for me now.
