This quote at the bottom of the page where they announced the impending launch of "www.watchnrl.com" would suggest otherwise I think:
[i
*Watch NRL content will only be accessible outside of Australia, New Zealand and

the Pacific Territories.[/i

it depends where in hull they are, im hu4 area and the kcom engineer told me that because of the area and location, the equipment isnt strong enough, they had/have to repair an exchange box and one of the lines connecting to the houses where we are

streaming/online gaming atm is unplayable until we get lightstream, which again i was told we would be one of the last as they need to put in new telephone poles all around the postcode area im a resident at

Try explaining that to elderly parents who still have a 32" CRT tv.....
They can just about manage SKY+

*sigh*

It's only great for ppl who want to consume their rugby by connected appliances.
A lot of people wont have that and / or dont want that.

So it may be "great" for you - but ro restrict a service to JUST online streaming is not great at all.

just cancelled 2 subscriptions mine and the one I pay for my father
Its a shame as i thought the coverage was quite good , will we still get commentating by Rabbits and Sterlo on the new NRL streaming

Just cancelled my subscription,shame really because i thought it was great value for money.Think streaming will be too hit and miss,it will be a great loss.

I think Premier will lose a lot of subscriptions because of this. ;(

Mine's gone - not paying for NASCAR

just keeping it for nhl atm

It's called progress, technological evolution if you like. If people don't want it thats there choice, but the vast majority do, what are people going to do when ALL media is streamed in about 10 years time?

Proof? or opinion ? and progress for progress's sake is not great.

The atamic bomb was progress ... but should be use them regularly?
Just because one can do something does not mean one should.

Like I say - I watch ALL my media vis streaming these days - but I don't think this is a good idea.
its a limitation of choice, which in anyones book is NOT a good thing.

And to answer your question about in 10 years time - hopefully there will be some sort of centralised media BOX (akin to a SKY or VIRGIN box) thats easy enough to use and can cope the myriads of different streaming formats out there atm, so that the technically endowed can at least participate in your vision of the future.

Gone are the days of archiving games to watch in years to come on video or dvd

as long as they are on that "You" channel you can still archive them .....

the tech is easy now, people are just lazy when it comes to learning how to use it. I know plenty of people who "hate" technology, but still use it. If you had your way and ideals we'd still be visiting wells and using a horse and cart to travel, Leeds would be a two day ride from Hull. Just think, some ignorant uncaring b@rd had the temerity to invent the wheel, and as for that Marconi bloke, well, like The Romans, "what did he ever do for us"

Opinion then ...

If only we could get a central bank of people's old videos and DVDs to share, especially from the early 80s when they were first being sold/recorded for sale.

no, a statement of fact

progress, evolution, its what we do, when were not sat in our slippers bemoaning how good things used to be.

i love the off season, all the little hitlers come out to play

Who is the little Hitler here?

Your the one stating "FACT" that to just go streaming is "evolution"... Probably just for your "Blonde European" friends no doubt ...

*sigh*

The tech is NOT easy.. not when you have every single content provider using their own cockamamy DRM to restrict you to watching their own stuff (and I'm not talking about pirated stuff / dodgy streaming "boxes" here either)

It *should* be easy . but its not.

If you bothered reading my post then yes I hope in 10 years it WILL all be seamless and integrated. But I rather doubt that - as currently all the content providers want their slice of your wallet.

Final point - I love forums - is't it wonderful how someone with a differing opion can be labelled as "Hitler"....

The proposition that this isn't good for Rugby as a whole stands because it will ultimately make Premier lose subscribers - that could impact their ability to broadcast. (*COULD*)

I guarantee that NOT everyone who sub'd to Premier will pick up the Fox streaming (although they may not need too - who knows what the future holds).

That's my final say on the matter. I'm not going to get caught up in a pointless argument based on opinion on technology.

Anyone who has a different viewpoint/opinion on this forum that doesn't fall into line with certain posters who can act however they like on here gets pilloried, slated, demeaned, and generally bullied in an attempt to get them from posting at all. It's why the vast majority of those that are forum members no longer bother posting at all.
Even when you prove that certain things are true that happen to be a negative against the club certain posters come out including the so called moderators to shoot you down/threaten you despite the clear evidence presented.

You can't even have a discussion about the clubs shirt designs without WWIII breaking out!

Oh, the irony...
