Disappointing Dan, but thanks for the info - I’ve been checking the optus sport guide waiting for these matches to appear. Are the qualifiers not part of the rights deal?

I have another question re running multiple streams. Can optus sport stream simultaneously on a retail fetch box (from JB hifi) and on another device like an iPad, the same as an optus fetch box?

[#3]

That makes sense @Tedddancing. 

The dual SIM version 

Again, I apologise for that @Oethesaint. The media statement we released didn't make it very clear.

I haven't been briefed on the ins outs of the rights deal, but I'd say that's the most likely explanation.

For those who don’t already know. We've recently made Optus Sport available on retail Fetch STB's (JBHi-Fi included).

The one Optus Sport subscription allows you to stream concurrently on Fetch plus one other device (Tablet, Mobile, PC, Laptop, Chrome cast etc)

I believe it's the same for retail STB's and Optus supplied. I'll reach out to the team (just to be sure).

Good thing you asked

Our Content team are just confirming this one for us now. 

[#5]

It's been confirmed! 

There should be no problems with customers concurrently watching Optus Sport from their retail Fetch STB and another device.

Thanks Dan happy days

No problemo! Happy days indeed  

Have a great weekend mate!

Hello

Any reason why the play offs of the champions league are not advertised on the Optus Sport website, keeping in mind there's only just over 48 hours to go for kick off? If you weren't in the know you'd have no idea that Optus would have the rights. 

Regards

I'd specifically like to wat Red Star vs Red Bull Salzburg. Would this be available to stream?
