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

    I just splashed out on a new TV and sound bar today, was able to get a very good deal via a friend. If thinking of doing the same be mindful of delivery timings, because they could be a bit cooked in certain areas.

    The preference would be to splash out on travel to Perth etc. etc. but if I'm going to be home then so be it. I was due anyway, the TV I have has a black faded spot the size of a water polo ball about a third up and slightly to the left and that just won't do for a grand final.

    I can send it up to Ballarat if you need Comrade.
    TF is this?.........Obviously you're not a golfer.

      I bought a projector and Apple TV last year and watch all the night games on the deck with that set up. I’ll be having a medium sized gathering with friends (sorry… not meaning to rub it in…) and am stoked it’s a night GF cause the projector is unwatchable in the daytime.

        I wonder if you can watch 7Plus GF on a web browser. I know you can watch other 7Plus shows on a browser

          You would be able to with a VPN?

          WatchAFL via a VPN would work, will cost about $130.00 for the pleasure though....plus the cost of the VPN.

            I have an Apple tv4k which I would highly recommend to you. The new version came out this year, but I will stick with the 2017 version. I do run Geoblocking if I want to watch some overseas apps like HBO, or USA Netflix etc.

              I've decided the 7 Plus app on the PS4 isn't good looking enough so I'm buying a 10 meter tv antenna cable instead.

              Best of all is I can continue to use it to watch all those quality channel 7 shows that we all love...

                I went with this:

                JB Hi-Fi is Australia's largest home entertainment retailer with top products, great quality + value. Learn more about our product range online.


                I'm more of a music guy....which you may have picked up on so buying TVs isn't really my thing (I do have a Sony Bravia 62 inch that's about nine years old and has a dark spot on it, but I picked that up on the cheap about seven years ago). I'm just sad at the realisation my LSR JBL monitors and 12 inch sub that I would love to get cranking isn't viable for the small space in which I'm residing for the foreseeable future.

                For the sound bar I went with:

                JB Hi-Fi is Australia's largest home entertainment retailer with top products, great quality + value. Learn more about our product range online.


                The heart belongs to JBL........this stuff will last me for ten years hopefully as it's a shit tonne to fork out even though I got a good deal via a mate.

                  I have the same TV and it’s super impressive. It will more than do the job. Android interface is great and the full array dimming makes a big difference to the black levels when compared to standard LED. Hopefully you enjoy it as much as I do.

                    Yeah my gear head mates really rate it as an outstanding piece. Thanks dude, hopefully you're right!

                      The Nvidia Shield box I find is excellent, with a ton of apps and add ons to utilise beyond the GF. Of course the 7 App is available with the Shield to watch the GF as a back up if my antenna is taken out by a wayward albatross.

                            I have a standing policy to avoid all Telstra products to the best of my ability.
