How to get V8 Supercars coverage without being bent over?

I have just moved to NZ ( que the sheep jokes etc ). V8's are on Sky TV ( NZ version of Foxtel ), and to get the channel they put the V8's on, you have to buy all the other rubbish general channels that I'll never watch, then add the sports package, and it'll cost me 90 clams a month. So that won't be happening.

Sky don't do a pay per view thing for V8's either.

The V8Supercars Superview isn't valid for Aust and NZ, which is bullshit - do they want people to watch or not??

So.......do I nail a big satellite dish on the roof and aim to towards America, Europe, or somewhere else, to pick up the coverage? Do I buy one of those android box things and plug that into the tele? Are there any other options?

Someone suggested getting it from a torrent website, but how do you do that??

I've already missed Clipsal, don't want to miss any more races

OVO mobile offer free streaming of Supercars with there packages, there's a few free/cheap streaming platforms out there on the web as well but I don't know of any as I've had Foxtel since 2012 so it just naturally moved over hope that is of help

I dont think that is correct.

OVO certainly have a supercars package but Not a live stream package

OVO and supercars

Although i would be doubtful ovo operate in NZ anyway

Use a VPN so that Superview thinks you are in another country and in theory it should work

Keep your eyes and ears open on various forums, for links to live streams ripped from the Foxtel coverage

Anyone have a good link to a online livestream that doesn't involve having to put your credit card details in to sign up? I'm asking for a mate who's away from home this weekend and cannot get access to it via Foxtel any replies appreciated thanks

There's a few cheap online streaming services I've been made aware of
Such as MotorsTV and Motortrend on demand which I believe stream Supercars legally
