The problem is that it is not available in Australia. and I bet that it remains that way until the Foxtel deal expires.

Having looked into it again, bare minimum to get Foxtel in any form to cover it is $530 a year (The streaming only option) and it is unclear if that provides the same access as the traditional coverage, at the same cost in the first year and then $680 a year afterwards.

IMO the Foxtel deal plays us for mugs and I elect to cease watching completely rather than pay around four times what others in the word will do for similar coverage. We dropped Foxtel years ago as i object very strongly to paying very high costs for a catalog of largely very old content AND being hit wit as many ads as free to air TV. If the entire platform was ad free (Rather than just the likes of sports) I would reconsider.
