Home TV Entertainment Trends - Live Sports

New free sports TV channel launched showing 10 live football games per week. Free no-obligation home demonstration.

Live Streaming New Zealand's mission to ensure there is an option of superior entertainment through legitimate access and freedom of choice for live streaming of content on the internet to the home TV. That is achieved with the Streamsmart livestreamingnz...

The new and rapidly growing trend is internet media player boxes that allow legal streaming of programmes to the home TV's. Contrary to popular belief, a New Zealand satellite pay-to-view satellite service provider does not have sole proprietary rights over content streamed on the internet into this country. See below, the story about new free sports TV service launched this week that is showing 10 live football games per week.

Internet media player boxes are currently not well known of in this country. There are many available online and through Facebook, from budget boxes up to the best on the market, Streamsmart livestreamingnz... from which you get much more than you pay for. We provide 24/7 technical and other support online via our Facebook group.

As time goes on there is always constant change and continuous improvement in streaming entertainment content from the internet to home television.

The process of continuous improvement is quantified in the Sports section of the UK Mirror published 30 Aug 2017, headlined 'New free sports TV channel launched showing 10 live football games per week'. Although being the UK, it is indicative of the growing trend for free-to-view live streaming to home TV's.

www.mirror.co.uk...

In particular, some channels mentioned in the article are available through a number of Streamsmart box add-ons, available from livestreamingnz...

Located in Hamilton, we provide free no-obligation home demonstrations.

Buy budget low-cost streaming boxes from the internet at your own peril. That was tried and is now collecting dust while trying to get some form of support to get it functioning.
