Participant Observation 6/6/17
Cutting off Foxtel is the only way to speak for the produser.
I really need to go without pay television for an extended period of time to compare the accessibility and fidelity and usability and enjoyment of getting games via Pay TV compared to FTA/OTT. How close is it? I'm not looking forward because I pride myself on finding peak fidelity and catharsis when I'm immersed in games, but how can I ever know what it's like to do it as a produser if I'm hollowing out the term by not adhering to it's principles?
Two moves need to made further in this respect. One is to get the Watch AFL app. Hopefully there will be a half-season option, that I can buy. The other is to investigate the new Foxtel Now app that offers OTT live streaming in HD

This option does seem to give me all the things I want with my regular foxtel, but only $74 a month. HOWEVER, what will the fidelity be like, and the usability, and how much data will I use?
