U20 Rugby World Cup starts in Argentina next week. Spark Sport are the NZ rights holder. Only a week out and their website still says nothing about this tournament and DMs are ignored. Looks to me as though they are having difficulties in sorting this. Bit tough if you subscribed to Spark Sport assuming that as rights holders they would actually stream the tournament? Anyone know what's going on here?

Forked over my $59 for Super Early Bird RWC yesterday - something of an act of faith - waiting for the LG Smart TV app that’s supposed to be available next month. Feeling a bit nervous about the whole SS thing.

Sometimes I just sit and think. Other times I just sit.

Is U20 RWC included with RWC pass?

Interesting. I'm not currently subscribed and there is no "upcoming live events" visible to me. Seems like it would be a good idea to show that to non-subscribers too - might get them to stump up! I can see Whats On, Recently Added, Whats Popular, Freemium etc but cant see Coming Soon

Or is there a menu I'm missing somewhere??

"What's On" includes what's going to be on.

Ahh! Thank you. And here's me thinking Whats On means Whats on now - not Whats Coming .......

Checked on my Samsung smart TV (edit: UA55MU6400) tonight, and the app is available for me! Version 0.4.1 beta. Seems to work OK from what I've tried so far. Perhaps check your LG?

I checked my LG TV (Model 55UK6400PVC) yesterday. No app showing.
