I’ve got a AFL Live Pass (as part of my Telstra mobile).
Last night I watched the replay through my laptop, connected via HDMI to my LCD.
The quality isnt that great (last night my Optus Cable was running at 12mbs). I had it streaming on ‘Auto’ then settled for 1.1mbs. The quality was consistent (e.g didnt freeze, or buffer) but wasnt as clear as I’d like.
Can anyone suggest any ideas? (please dont say NBN, they havent connected it up yet - and before you ask, I live in Pascoe Vale.
Is there a way to download the game from the AFL website at a higher bitrate?
watch.afl.com i think is the site, its afl’s international streaming service, only available in locations outside aus, i think they do week/monthly subscriptions, so would be worth checking out and signing up for when outside aus.
vpns are generally pretty easy and ones like privateinternetaccess have extensive guides on their site for whatever device you’d use. they’d explain it better than i could.
I should have said that the only reliable way I know to get replays working in a browser is first to shell out for an AFL Live Pass. This pass is actually not bad value, especially if you split the cost with somebody else - it works on up to five devices at any time.
For your sake @Rana I have downloaded the last quarter of last weekends match. Video DownloadHelper (on my Firefox) did indeed produce bad results. On the other hand I could find no fault with Flash Video Downloader (on my Chrome).
