ffs TVNZ you had ONE job. Streaming was shithouse during the rugby now this. Get your act together you useless pricks.
cope. No one's forcing you to watch. Go read a book if you hate capitalism so much.
As someone who works in media, the amount of money flowing into these ad slots is insane. Complain all you want, it's not going anywhere. Football's a cash cow now.
I'd rather they just put the price up on the license fee than ruin the bloody viewing experience. I'd pay extra.
Mate, the ads are annoying but at least we get to watch it for free. Try finding a stream without ads that doesn't buffer every 2 minutes.
Yeah nah get stuffed. We pay for the license fee AND get ads rammed down our throats. TVNZ can get in the bin.

I just want to watch the football without the stream dropping out. My kids were so upset. Sort it out.
Here's an idea: mute the ads and scroll your phone like everyone else. Not hard.
They should have just let Spark or someone handle it. At least they had their tech sorted for the rugby. TVNZ is stuck in 2010.
mate. The kids were crying cos it froze right before a goal. Heartbreaking.
Remember when sport was just on free-to-air without all this nonsense? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
The real issue is FIFA taking the piss with ad breaks. It's a 45 minute half, how many ads do you need?
It's not like they're breaking for ads during play. It's during stoppages. Calm down drama queen.
don't care about the actual game, just the bottom line. FIFA is a corrupt joke.
Exactly! They treat fans like milk cows. Suck every cent while the product gets worse.
Complain all you want, but as long as people watch, they'll keep shoving ads in. It's just business.
you're missing the point. It's about the total ad time per game. It's getting ridiculous.
