AFL Live Streaming to PC

  • Hi All,
    Just a simple question about whether it is possible to watch AFL footy live through a home PC.
    Telstra, Foxtel and the AFL are all unable to help as their AFL service is not available through a PC
    A tablet is too small, and there is not a TV in the house, so am somewhat surprised that in 2017 the only medium you are unable to watch live footy on is a PC!

Hope that there is a solution out there…..

    What about using Chromecast on the PC via your mobile?

  • Sergeant Salami on 09/03/2017 - 15:05

    Get a chromecast or apple tv and mirror your phone. Job done! This is how I watch it on my tv.

      I have followed all the instructions to do this but when i try to cast from my phone to the TV through the PC, a message comes up saying that video recording is not allowed. I don't want to record the game, i just want to watch it.

      Any help would be appreciated.

    Get an Android x86 Virtual Machine image and run the Android AFL Live app in the Virtual Machine.
    eg

      Actually an even better idea. Run Remix OS or Remix OS Player on your pc.

      • ESEMCE on 10/03/2017 - 08:04

        Definitely a better idea, but installing a new OS is a pretty committed step!

        • Sergeant Salami on 10/03/2017 - 08:16

          Remix OS Player runs as a VM on the pc but yes Remix OS requires installation to a usb or a partitioned HDD.

    They make it hard because they want you to subscribe to Fox Footy, they even limited the AFL Live app live footy screen size to 7" on a tablets this year.

    I believe the blackout for PC is lifted this year:

    "Another change with the new rights deal is the lifting of Foxtel Play's total AFL blackout for PCs and Macs"

    And for example:

    "Foxtel Play subscription to watch every AFL round live on your chosen device — mobile, tablet, smart TV or desktop computer"

    Create an account on Crownbet and watch all games live (slight delay of a min or so)

    • Hi All,
      Thanks for the great choice of solutions, and a special well done to RM.
      Have created a free account with Crownbet, you download their App and then each game is broadcast through the site, so it looks like we have a winner!
      No pre-season matches, so will try for the first time next week in Round 1.
      What a great Forum to find simple solutions!

    Cheers…..

      yeah…no pre season matches..bummer…but all games from round 1 for sure…have an awesome season

      How did this work out with Crownbet? It reads that it only streams to android or iOS apps and not to PCs.
      ( I am wanting PC streaming)
