Are you sure Spark Sport can work on an Android TV device? 

 

According to this page it is only supporting Apple TV as a set top box.

Yes I am sure. It is recommended for a commercial premise.

Well I've tried a few times to find out if Spark has on-net Akamai servers in Wellington(closest main city) and the frontline stay either directed me to the wrong place or answered my question with something completely unrelated. 

 

I got an answer from 2 Degrees regarding this question "We do have Akamai cache feeds however not in Wellington. They are dotted around the country (Chch, Hamilton & Auckland)" is this sufficient or not? I'm not sure if that answers my question due to my limited knowledge in the area.

 

Am I better to start a new post for this question and if so where?

 

Cheers

Spark has a highly distributed set of Akamai servers on our network. There is substantial Akamai presence in and around the Wellington area.
