I don't know what I'd do otherwise as I'm not prepared to keep chopping and changing from one lot to another and paying for crap I'm not remotely interested in.
Welcome back. I assume you were AWOL trying to get a role with the Marshall govt?
Why doesn't your mate just give you one of his logons, then you don't need multiple DVDS each week.
Also I can categorically say he hasn't done as you stated, as not all games are on catch up, but I get that he could have given most to you.
And I may be wrong, but Fetch (Optus) doesn't have anything Foxtel doesn't except Optus Sport - and how will you watch the WC in full?
My Wife has been very sick for your information and even I have more in my life than Football - it's called Family, Love and Duty, words clearly not familiar to you and your ilk.
I don't get much in the way of Internet speed, as I've stated before and even NBN isn't much faster according to a couple of neighbours, so what he gives me is every EPL match plus my Championship team's matches and coverage of any of my League One team's matches, which is rarely broadcast.
We then catch up for Lunch once a week with other friends and discuss the matches, offer our ideas and critiques that another of the group posts on a Blog from a UK site.
My friend has access to quite a few O/S broadcasts so he makes up for what Aussie broadcasters don't show.
He has a room with walls lined with TV sets and DVD recorders showing games from all over the world that he gets with a collection of aerials and dishes on his roof and distributes them to those of his friends who prefer other leagues, very, very clever guy and only 45.

Fancy me being his friend.
He's 'retired' with more than enough money from inventions he's sold to keep him happy and spends his time helping out other people he's known and respected over his life and also invests a lot of time and money into social programs, like the Homeless.
He also still fiddles around with new technology and is currently working on a new way of harnessing solar energy and storing it that should be much cheaper and more efficient than any on the market today.
Wait for the News to break on that one.
Despite your derisory comments Mr Chameleon Name, every word I have said is true, as usual, it is just you being a Luddite that is the problem.
Not all of us become senile and lose their marbles as they age, many of us, including myself continue to seek out new interests and friends of all ages.
