How to watch the grand final with sketchy free to air tv

[azabob]

Back in 2017 I moved into a new place which does not have a TV Antenna and to get one installed is $2K plus.

In 2017, 2018 and 2019 I limped through with a "rabbit ears version" and it didn't matter too much as I could actually go to the games.

During 2020 I put my hand in my pocket and subscribed to Kayo which has seen me sorted, until now...

My understanding is Kayo does not have the rights to stream the Grand Final and channel 7 will not stream it on their app.

Do I have to pray my make shift antenna works or I am doomed to a radio call only?

Over to you brains trust...

If you’re still having issues game day I’ll find a link (obviously on how to get better reception) and DM it to you.

Shit really? I’m out beyond FTA TV. So only Kayo was my option.

Does Foxtel carry it at all? Separate to Kayo?

I honestly don't know, but I don't think so.

It is all to do with the stupid rights agreement.

No they don’t. 7 or 7+ is it.

[azabob]

No they don’t. 7 or 7+ is it.

You being in NSW may get you 7+ but don't rely on the option.

Foxtel apologised for the last few seasons of GoT and sent me a Foxtel Now box. I just plugged it in and it’s streaming all Ch7. Hopefully it covers the GF.

Fox footy definitely don’t show the game. They have a pre game segment and then come back after the game for analysis
Hope you get something sorted Azabob

I've never set up the FTA TV in my appartment so hopefully it works. Will need a long cable though cause the TV is on the other side of the room. Looks like I'm forking out $25 to Officeworks or whatever for a cable.

Will it be streamed on 7s website? Surely there has to be options for those without FTA.

We stream everything here so it better be watchable through their app. It isn't like we can go to the pub to watch it.

Thanks for your work BAD. Are you aware if we can stream it off a smart TV?

If it’s Samsung or android then yes you should. As long as it’s fairly recent.

So if I can download the app (which I can), I’m good to go?
