    Anyone know what is going on with this? Are the pubs going to be able to show the games or what?

    Bit of a joke, looks like it is still not confirmed who has the coverage.

    What a fûcking pain that is.

    Any idea how / where Optus can show the games ? Surely not just online and live ?

    I suppose the ease of just recording the games, while sleeping, and watching first thing in the morning are gone now ?

    Fùcks sake. Foxtel is now useless to me.

    No need to watch it ..... just find out who has paid the biggest bribes to win.

    Saw an announcement on Fox Sports there that they've done a deal with BeIn Sports to show 3 of their channels on Foxtel for no extra cost from mid May. This includes all Euro 2016 games as well as Europa and Champions League. Guess I'll keep the subscription for a few more months so! As much as I hate Fox, Optus's plan to show via streaming sounds like a disaster. No HD and no recording of games and an extra sub to fork out for.

    I have Bein Sports so I'm delighted its finally going to HD for the Euros, the only problem is that awful commentating.

    IF anyone is really really desperate and IT savy download the app Kodi and the IrishTV streaming section but you will need decent internet(which I don't have)

    Streaming is crap compared to Satellite in my opinion, in new Zealand it's not available with sky Nz, it's done with premier league pass. In fairness you can watch any game at all "live" (ie 60 seconds behind probably!) and highlights(full game only I think)
