Particiapnt Observations 22/11/17 - Free TV app is alright

So, now that I stream most of my content, I've become adept at getting my free to air content that way as well.

What completely fucking surprised me, is that 7 Plus do not allow you to Chromecast... and yet if you go to the Free TV app, you can chromecast the same fucking channel from their app.

What fucking bullshit.

Channel 7 won't let you chromecast from their app, but the same channel, through the Free TV app, does chromecast.

What the fuck.

I cannot explain that. Either Channel 7 aren't aware of it, or their not concerned about people finding it out, or the numbers aren't big enough, or they're effectively conceding some of the market to a non-commercial partner. They may as well be giving their signal to the ABC - whose chromecast signal is FUCKING CRAP by the way...

I have no idea why the ABC steam is SO BAD. It is really really bad.

I've acknowledged before that Chomecast isn't perfect, but wholly fuck, if Foxtel and Netflix can deliver HD over Chromecast, whey the fuck can't ABC. Disappointing.
