Watching online or tv?

What do you expect? Signed up this morning really looking forward to the match, then they screw up for 40 minutes. Not exactly a great first experience.

Great value TV - no probs 1st Half - they also apologised as fault is at `source`.

On the tele; although I have had my account since March.

I saw that scroll along the screen. As host broadcaster aren't they the 'source'?

Wasn't able to watch the game live, just logged in to watch online via On Demand and also getting 'We're sorry, this content has not been made available for your region.' As a Virgin Media customer I can only get PS online.

Not impressed. I recall the Premier Player crashed during State of Origin as well.

...seems to be working after reloading...fingers crossed these issues are ironed out.

What a commanding performance by New Zealand...especially impressive considering that they were without Sonny Bill Williams.

No issues on SKY NZ, so not sure what they mean by problem at "source".....2.45am alarm, 5 mugs of coffee, back to bed at 4.30, up again at 7am...... this is going to be a very long 5 weeks or so

Nah....100% plastic Paddy......just love my sport...all sport.....with maybe the exception of soccer at club level.

After watching the NHL on Premier for the last 2 years it's never their fault when there's a problem it's always somebody else.

At the same time as this happening the RU on sky went down as well. Sky said that there was a problem transmitting it from London.

Cannot be a coincidence that the two happened almost simultaneous.

These things happen, get over it. It happened to the RU at the same time which was on a much bigger broadcaster.

If I was a modern day fan of discounted Super League, I'd be phoning Premier Sports pronto requesting a discount on the 50% discounted subscription I'd already got by way of recompense.

Might have been an issue at the playout centre Sky and premier might use the same company.

After seeing some of the 'voucher codes' online for Premier Sports, I gave them a call yesterday. I've been a Premier Sports subsriber for the last 2 NRL seasons, and wanted to see if I could use the voucher codes as an existing customer. They said I couldn't use the voucher code (as I'm not affililated to a Bowls club - if you want to use this code, be prepared to be able to provide the name of a bowls club near you), but they did reduce my monthly charge to £5.99 until April next year, as they recognise I wont be wathching the channel through the winter after the world cup has ended.

Now this has nothing to do with me not being willing to pay full price for my rugby - as I always have, and will continue to subscribe to Premier while ever they are showing the NRL. However, being a typical Yorkshireman, I am a tight bar steward, and if I can get something cheaper, I will.... Job done...

On another note, I have now cancelled Sky Sports for the winter as there is no rugby on. Whether I bother to renew for the next Superleague season remains to be seen. With 7 games of NRL per week to watch on Premier, I found I watched less Superleague last year than ever. The fixtures selected for Sky (particularly the Saturday games) throughout last season were often shocking, with much better fixtures not being televised. Throw in the fact that the commentary on Sky is getting worse, I found myself not bothering with the superleague games.
