Now we all know why the big upgrade was for, this . Their first of pay per view or pay season pass.

But we Knew beforehand?. The media releases warned everyone the login experience was about to change and needed to be done to meet the FIFA timeline. Just not the issues it would also bring.

I guess I must move in different tech circles because I didn't. :-)

I hope they learned from all the mistakes the "previous" sports streaming company had.....

I see SKY have gone and grabbed content that Spark had also grabbed when they started.. English domestic cricket rights.

Funny they havnt been interested in showing cricket from England been a few years without coverage. Perhaps TVNZ were also trying to obtain it...

I just bought the pass. I reckon that it's good value at $44.95.

I know we will get the All Whites games free-to-air, but I also want to watch the England games as I am an ex-pat. None of England's group matches are free-to-air, you have to buy the pass to see them.

The live games are on at quite reasonable times for us, and we also have options to watch full replay's or highlights. I would prefer 4K, but 1080p on a newish TV will be upscaled and still look good.

I will settle into my Man Cave and my wife won't see much of me for five weeks (she may think this is a good thing) 😁

With both the NZ men's and women's teams about to tour there plus the Ashes next year it probably made sense to get the full rights rather than a few individual series. As an England fan I'm happy to get an easy way to watch it all.
