Any more news on the 2012 Samsung TVs? I am missing my footy but cannot stand to watch it in a browser, hate them. Also, are you able to now chose where to start a stream that is currently live? MediaPortal allows you to either start a channel stream at the beginning, a defined point OR at the live point. Last time I checked, you could only join a live game at the live point and not at the beginning which meant you could see the score. Can we now start at the beginning of the stream if I join a game at 5.30am that started at 5am?

Frustratingly we are still waiting on definitive answers from the Samsung development team. We understand they have just completed QA on the app and are waiting to hear if this update includes 2012 as well as 2014. We will let you know as soon as we can get an answer.
WWHeisenberg: Does anyone know if there have been any discussions about telecom customers getting discounts this year? From memory it was a 15% discount.
Telecom are in the process re-branding to 'Spark' but yes, they will be offering a 20% discount to their customers. There's also a 25% discount for re-subscribers.
Krishant007: if any previous subscribers here are not intending to renew their subscriptions, could I get the code and get the discount? Wonderingly....
You need to have a registered email address from last season.

Furthermore, we have made several improvements to the platform, and yes, there's now a 'Join Live' or 'Play-From-Start' option.

Fair enough. Thought I'd ask :). Will lookout for any deals on the season pass then.
@samsmith Is there any possibility of games console apps? I don't own a Samsung TV or Apple device so my only option to get it on my TV has been to connect my laptop to TV via HDMI, which isn't the best experience as there is a lot of motion judder. A playstation app would be ideal for me as I would no long have to do that or buy new equipment.

We had been in discussions with Xbox until the pulled the plug on Australasia...we have now opened talks with the PS development team, but it's not looking particularly hopeful for this season yet.
