    Is there ANY way to get Fox Footy in North America, particularily in Canada?

    This is extremely unlikely to be available anywhere else outside of Australia. You may want to consider subscribing to the afl.com.au video subscription, if you have the interest. Agreed, it's not the same thing. But that's the best you can get right now, I think.

    Available only in Australia, I am 99.99999999999 per cent certain of that. Not up on any common satellite or DSS to the USA, as far as I know.

    It's a shame, because it's a great service for footy fans everywhere.

    But at least I can keep reporting what I see on that channel in this forum, in the context of my news reports. :)

    as chandu has said, i think the best way to watch is if you have a high speed conection to the internet, and go through afl.com.au

    other than that, you have the weekly game and highlights on FSW.

    Yeah I usually can just watch the "Toyota's Aussie Rules" 2 hour match show and 1 hour highlights show each week on FSWC. I just don't like how they edit the matches down so that they fit within 1 1/2 hours with 30 min of the hightlights of the rest of the matches. I'm a purist and want to see the matches from start to finish. The only match I get to see all the way through is the Grand Final which is broadcast live in it's entirety here in Canada.

    I don't understand why Aussie Rules isn't more popular in Canada. It's just the sort of hard hitting contact sport that Canadians love.
