" The T-Box (netgem) solution for the AFL is brilliant...the Telstra TV solution is rubbish." (IPTV Set Top Box, OTT HD TV)

(march 2017)

On the T-Box, the AFL app would show match replays of every game, quarter by quarter, unmetered for Telstra internet customers for free.

Now Telstra launched the T-Box replacement, Telstra TV, which also has an AFL app.  Unfortunately match replays are not offered on this device, which was a value to many AFL supporters and was the envy of other sporting codes.

The T-box provided a way for AFL lovers to see their game (12 hours after the final siren) for free…many people cant afford Foxtel and this was a great solution.  Now the greed of Telstra has taken this value add away.

Really disappointing.  The same T-Box offer should be made available to Telstra TV users. I have contacted the AFL who have confirmed they authorise the same content that is currently on the T-Box to be made on Telstra TV but it is Telstra which has blocked it.  The person at the AFL also indicated the AFL is dissappointed by this action as they want their game to be made available to as many sports fans as possible.

I cant understand why Telstra does this?  The T-Box solution for the AFL is brilliant...the Telstra TV solution is rubbish.  Please make AFL full game replays available on Telstra TV, unmetered, like the T-Box.
