Rugby on Stan

Opened it up today and there is a shit-ton of games from last year, Test matches from the last decade, etc.
Pretty good already.

Yeah, there’s heaps of Bledisloe games, not just the ones that the Wallabies won which is what Kayo used to have.

In the process of ditching Foxtel. Which is like pulling teeth. How much is Stan? Probably some other decent content there as well.

$10 on top of a normal subscription, we pay $14 for the HD and multiple devices but the cheapest is $10 (so would be $20 in total)

Has anyone tried watching a few games? What's the streaming quality like? Some people on FB have been complaining about the picture being a bit choppy, but then again it could simply be their TV sets.

Or the quality of their internet connection.

Looks similar to Kayo - I've just put one of the old Aotearoa matches on. I never find streaming site sport as clear as a tv box.
Haven't tried on my Apple TV, using the Stan up on my Samsung. I tend to find AppleTV has better quality than apps on the TV's themselves.

price: $10 on top of any Stan package BUT the sport is in HD even if you buy SD Stan. So you might as well pay$14 base for
SDHD quality and at the sport. -
quality is ok. Had a bit of a blip here and there if I was pausing/rewinding a lot
-
can't get rid of Kearns, unfortunately

That plan falls down the moment one of the normal Stan shows catches your eye.

Watching live now using latest Google Chromecast. Smooth as a porn star's nethers
The picture was perfect for the first 50 odd minutes but it now keeps on dropping to a lower resolution. Teething problems are to be expected I suppose.

I had drop outs for the first 15 minutes (as did my mate on my other device) then it was perfect.
The picture was better than the game footage I watched earlier today and better than what Kayo served up.
Hopefully they sort all issues this weekend in time for the actual start next weekend.

@nepia Yeah can't complain about the picture quality when it's in HD. It's as good as my Foxtel satellite picture which I wasn't expecting from a streaming service.

Me either, as I think I mentioned earlier today when discussing the pic on a Kayo.
It’s bloody awesome actually.

Agreed. I think they must have been given SD footage then upscaled it.
Watching a game from 2014 the ball got a bit blurry when it started to move fast, but live last night no such issues -
Verblitz v Brave Lupus starting soon.
Hooper + Read in one back row and Leitch + Todd in the other, according to the blurb.
But I'm about to go to the pub, so will catch it later

This is one problem with the rugby being on Stan. Surely the days of catching a game at the pub are gone. I can't imagine pubs would have Stan.
