One thing for sure, they would have paid a fortune for those premier league rights, it does not come cheap. Very doubtful they will make it back. I know plenty of football supporters who are not getting it for various reasons, either they do not have great internet connections or they are just technophobes, One I spoke to did not even know what a smart TV was. (Typical Liverpool supporter)

Best thing Spark could do right now would just be to give TVNZ the rights to every RWC game, not just the All Blacks games and the semis and finals they're already showing FTA.

Must be the Rugby World Cup.
I see there is another practice run
Japan v South Africa
Sept 6 10:15pm
If transmitting the Rugby World Cup goes pear shaped, I would guess they will take a bit of a hit.
Conversly…...
Spark Sport:
I heard on the radio this morning that the quality of the "transmission" has been reduced from 60fps to less than 30fps.
This was to ensure that all systems can cope.
The outcome of this is that smoothness of the viewing experience has been compromised.
Disappointing if this is the case, we have these marvellous TV's now and can't feed them properly.
Buggar !
Oooops...maybe not correct. http://www.screenscribe.net/channels...eaming-fumble/
Not looking great from my perspective. I have a Spark account and after being registered to log-in to their spark sport site and testing it over the last week, I today found my log no longer worked.
Oh well at least I have TV1 till Spark sort it out.
