Ratings and reviews

For those using this to watch AFL and casting to a device (googlechrome). The "Are you still watching?" message that pauses the stream will pop up with about 60 seconds to go if you stream from the start of the game. Really kills the experience in a close game. Has happened about 6 times this year. Makes you wonder how they can ask that within the same program? If you use this on iPad, the program streaming disappears as well so you can only resume play if you have other devices on the same wifi

Charge an absolute fortune for my foxtel subscription which includes this service and it doesn't work. Long term (15 years+) Foxtel customer. There's never a discount for affected customers or a price reduction. It's a joke. If I worked for foxtel I'd be looking for another job. Can't see them being around for a whole lot longer with the amount of other streaming services available and at a far cheaper rate. And a lot of their shows are available on other platforms nowadays.

You pay $30-$100+/month and still get ads, it's a massive scam. There's also no back/forward 10 sec buttons. The app is quite terrible, takes a while after you tap the episode to start playing, if you start watching half watched episodes again then they start like 2 minutes earlier, after about 5 minutes there's literally no way to pause. There's also no way to unsubscribe in the app and it's also quite difficult to find a way to unsubscribe in the website, so that makes it even more suspicious
