Rugby league fans have been left fuming overnight as a popular streaming service encountered errors throughout the night, leaving some unable to watch the State of Origin game at all.
Crowds flocked to Adelaide Oval on Wednesday night to watch the Blues and Maroons go head to head in the first State of Origin game.
But 9 Now customers watching at home were left in the lurch after the streaming service crashed, with some fans unable to watch the game at all.
Unhappy customers took to social media to complain about the outage, with many calling for the licensing to go to other providers.
People using the TV app were shown an “unexpected error” message.
“Please check your network connection,” the message read.
Other customers streaming online were stuck behind an error wall on the Nine website.
After nearly half an hour, 9 Now responded to a growing online crowd complaining about the service.
“The issue with logging into 9 Now has been resolved,” they said in a tweet.
“We thank everyone for their patience while this was being investigated.”
It is still unclear what caused the issue.
Queensland won the game 26-18.
