Newbie to this Posted July 30 Report Share Posted July 30 If you really want to watch the shooting and the BBC don't show it. You can but it is not strictly legit. You need a VPN set to Australia, and download the 9now app, and setup an accountΒ You can watch all the events on demand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
