Just wondering,are all Storm games on Foxtel?
I've just signed up for it because I know how dreadful Nine's coverage is!

Yeah...i only watch the sports channels, the CI channel and the movie channels. The league coverage is awesome, you got NRl on fox...and plus a few other shows during the week aswell.

Apprently iq is good...i dont have it...but i think its a little expensive tho, if your only getting it to watch storm games... :?

All you need now is to get some relo in the country to buy you an Optus Aurora box that's got Imparja access unlocked to get live or near-live coverage of the games that Foxtel don't have the live rights for.  That plus Foxtel will leave you set up.

You can also join the Mad Melbourne Mob that gathers at the Rising Sun to watch games on Imparja.

On that note, after Round 5 I'll be in the Northern Territory, and I'll get Imparja and Austar.  The coverage in upper gumbucta will be better than it is here in Melbourne :-)

And as a bonus, four of the five rounds that I'll be down here for are home games, and the one away game isn't a Channel Nein game (so it'll be shown live)!  Woohoo!

Regrettably I won't be able to send down any Imparja decoders, as I'll be using it up there myself...

I might have to go there once or twice this year, I was a regular there for Storm away games a few years ago.

Rising Whatever is in Richmond. 

If you're on public transport, it's way easier to get to the Charles Dickens Hotel (cnr Collins and Elizabeth Streets)

Rising Sun Hotel, Cnr Swan & Burnley Sts, Richmond. Same tram for OP goes right past the door, alternatively get the train to Burnley Station.

When I used to go there on a regular basis there was always 15 or more people there to watch the Storm games.
