Noooooo. Not first row. This makes me sad.
Coliseum Sports - EPL Overlords
I just got an email from Setanta informing me of a "change" to my subscription, i.e it's going up to $19.99aud per month.
This is on top of what I pay to Foxtel for Foxsports. Time for me to make a "change" to my subscription.
Are we able to subscribe to Setanta here in NZ?

Ooh, gotta watch the Bundesliga so we (and the MVFC crowd) can cheer on Stuttgart.
I have the opposite problem to many people. My TV is modern but neither computer is modern enough to have HDMI output. However, my Mac screen is HD-compatible.
Your modern TV might be able to hook up to the interweb either by cable or wifi.
Does your tv have vga input? Thats all i use to play movies, streams etc
Tim Martin from Coliseum Sports Media was on Radio Live today at 3pm. You can go to www.radiolive.co.nz and choose audio and Sunday 3pm to listen to the whole interview. Very interesting.
Another Re hash but still pretty funny

If the talk about being able to watch games on Apple TV's is correct, then I would suggest that to be the best way to watch the streams if you don't want to plug a laptop into the TV, or don't own a laptop. They cost $159, which is cheaper than buying a laptop to be able to plug into the computer. They are fantastic little boxes, I assure you that you'll end using it for more than just football (streaming movies and music from your computer, YouTube etc).
The best thing will be that it will always be plugged into your TV, so it will be no harder to start watching a game than it is to turn on the Sky decoder.
I dont have an Apple TV, but have been thinking about getting one for sometime, but waiting till Apple take the thing seriously and move it from the 'hobby' category. But this may make me move earlier...
I heard them talking about getting an app for Apple TV, but i assume they mean an app for iOS that will allow the football to screened using the app via AirPlay? as Apple TV has very few actual apps from what I can see...
Surely Colesium would have to have apps (iOS and Android) before the Season starts?

Apple have a shitload of apps if you are in the US (Netflix, MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL etc), so it would be awesome if Coliseum could work with Apple and get a PLP app on there for Kiwis. More likely scenario is that they will allow AirPlay from iOS devices, which could push me to buy an iPod Touch or something to do it. I wish my multitude of Android devices could airplay.
Yeah, I have an Apple TV and it has the NFL, MLB, NBA and NHL services on it (I think). But my understanding at this stage is that Coliseum will actually just be using the AirPlay feature to mirror it on your TV. That should work fine but if Coliseum can work with Apple to get their service actually embedded into Apple TV then even better.

Either way, it's a ridiculously simple but effective way to get the games on your TV.
I just watched Portland vs Colorado on our TV using MLSLive, the quality was superb. It's not quite as good as the HD we get on ESPN, but it's far superior to illegal streams. I would say it sits somewhere between SD (Sky Digital) quality and HD, and didn't lag at all.
If PremierLeagePass is the same quality, then I'll be more than happy with it.

I have Apple TV and have the MLB and the NBA but not the NFL or the NHL services. Wondering if it is because I bought mine in the UK?
I was actually looking at this the other day and thinking that there doesn't seem to be any way to get new apps or channels on the Apple TV, although that might just be because I am a bit thick.

I might be wrong about all of those tbh. At least some of them are there.
Yeah, I haven't actually used my AppleTV a whole lot. This new Coliseum thing is about the first time I've really thought it might be very useful. Apple don't seem to put a whole lot of effort into the AppleTV though. Possibly because they are going to go fully into making actual TVs?

If you set the region in the setting to United States, all those apps show up. You can't actually use them though, because they are geo-blocked.
If you have the relevant subscription to nba/NHL/MLB you're able to sign in on the Apple TV and watch the live games. If you don't have a subscription you can watch highlights on the nba and NHL apps I don't know about MLB cause I don't use it. Also on the latest update if you set your Apple TV to the us or uk you get a sky news uk app where you can watch sky news uk live or a heap of videos from sky news
I have watched baseball through MLB.tv on Apple TV as they have a free game every day. Problem is that I cannot even see the NFL app, although I might have a play around with the location and see if that changes anything.

I don't think there is an NFL app
Just had someone from sky calling me up with a special deal selling my sky. If she didn't know what the English premier league was before she certainly does now.
Got this from Coliseum re: the quality of the streaming.
"Streaming will be in a band between 800 and 3000kbps, and it's coming through a managed CDN solution that should make it the best quality streaming New Zealand's ever seen.
There'll be some content up on the site on launch so you can try it out before you buy anything."
Been a bad few days for sky and a lot of other companies as well.
I watched about 10 minutes of live baseball on Apple TV today - it buffered twice for about 5 seconds. I can see that becoming very annoying during a game of football.

Hey Frankie. Your signature is onver 2MB in size. Care to reduce it a bit?
Also vodafone has 2 months free atm http://www.vodafone.co.nz/internet/high-speed-cable-network/broadband-tv-bundles/

Bound to happen just as a controversial goal line goal may or may not be scored.
Interview with the overlords
Great interview. Sounds like a cool guy.

800kpbs is just over 6MB per minute. For 120 minutes of streaming about 750MB of data. At 3000kbps, 120 minutes is roughly 2,800MB of data.
Have they said that the quality can be chosen manually or does it adjust automtically based on the speed of your connection?

Because it is NFL Game Pass, you'll be able to select the quality, or leave it on 'Best available'.

That's good. I can imagine some people getting stung if they plan to use 4G LTE for streaming games on 'best available'.
