    There's no way apps can keep up with updating for all the various TVs on the market, so I guess they do x amount of work for new TVs and that's that.

    I think the bigger problem is Samsung can't be arsed updating their OS so the apps can be updated.

    Having secured permission from the Minster for War and Finances to get a new car, I'm not replacing my TV until it dies. Although it may have an "accident"...

    Not sure, I thought it was just a new non aligned box.

    Quick google and I'm spelling it wrong, it's Hubbl and it's a Foxtel owned brand.

    @Kiwiwomble said in Next Broadcasting Deal:

    @Nepia i assumed it was the other way...the TV was "old" and couldnt support the lastest version of the app

    I think it's the same thing isn't it? The devs could ensure compatibility with app updates but it's not worth them doing so.

    Do they not do Google TV's down under? Only streaming app my telly doesn't have is skygo.

    Have to laugh at a hundy AUD being expensive though, it's around 100gbp for sky with sports over here, not including adding TNT for another 30 and premier for 20 and fuck knows what BT sport costs.

    I think @Nepia was referring to Apple's media player box.

    I have an ancient non Smart TV and Google Chromecast with remote (now replaced by Google TV Streamer) works fine. Got it after Telstra TV shut down.

    WTF! What type of TV, you should get at least a couple of years with the apps on a new TV.

    The problem with Hubbl is that while it is a clever way to manage all streaming and from memory you get a discount when you run a few through it, you still have to use kayo or binge, which are just shit apps. This is probably the main reason that the foxtel box product is still useful.

    genuinely chuckled at that

    after investing the frame tv, getting it mounted etc, i'm probably more included to get new hardware to keep it alive when app stop being updated

    According to the Herald, another player has entered the market - Warner (Owns 3)

    Possibly Sky getting ABs & SR with a FTA getting some simultaneous/small delay and also maybe NPC going FTA with a lower set up cost (one camera type thing I guess)

    That sounds reasonable.

    You can't put a sport on primetime FTA with just a one camera set-up, that would be insane.

    A 1 camera set up would mean there will be no changing of camera angle mid-play, usually just as a player is running down the side line close to the try line. That really annoys me.
    Save the fancy editing for the replay.

    I think it was the NZ v SA game last year where they changed to the side line camera just as some was about to score, but all we could see was the back of the touch judge.

    Slightly off topic I know...
