    For purely selfish reasons, I'm interested to see/hear where everyone will be watching the games this season. NZ has been royally shafted by the Premier League rights deal. We had Premier League Pass which was actually one of the best sports apps in the world. Every game live and delayed plus highlights.

    However - if you're interested - Al Jazzeera's Bein Sports ****ed it all up. They bought the NZ rights for well over the odds in an attempt to take over the whole of Australasia. Sadly for them mobile operator Optus bid even more over the odds for Australia and Bein found themselves landed with NZ only. They've since been trying to hock NZ rights off for a profit to anyone and everyone.

    Turns out that Sky are kindly selling Bein Sports as a channel option. They're making no money off it apparently (Sky are so good to the people arent they) but you have to have the $50 Sky basic for 10months that will work out to be $620.00. Premier League Pass cost me $200.00 for the season. So **** you very much Bein Sports.

    I already have a VPN in place. Anyone got any tips on an alternative to Prem League Pass?

    Kodi box, Sportsmania £50 a year every major sports network world wide in HD. You won't miss a Saints game apart from the f.a cup due to the strict laws on it.

    Would I need to use Puffin, on my iPad, to access Sportsmania, or do they have technology, like Saints YouTube, which allows access without needing a proxy browser(?)?
