You might be right but Kayo like Netflix is a different product to Foxtel.

Foxtel required a physical boxto be delivered, long term contracts etc. It wasn't an impromptu purchase by any means.

On the other hand Netflix and the modern streaming apps are just click a few times on your phone and you're away.

Sorry DV8 I'm no expert on mobile sim plans but have a look at this section of Whirlpool.

Big development...

the Kayo Android TV app is now out and available on Google Play

Search for "kayo s" as just kayo does not show it.

Let the games begin

You need AOS version 7.1 on your TV so you may have to update your TV software

since the app was launched on Monday there is a new 20 odd pages on whirlpool.

Most of it is positive but I have noticed most posters are talking about loading it onto various media boxes such as Nvidia Shield. Have not noticed too much commentary about a vanilla installation on a TV itself.

Sadly I have no idea what all that is or even if you are speaking english DJ.

The apps still not available on Samsung smart tvs.

yeah it seems that Samsung and I think LG are on the "too hard"list for the moment

Not sure why as for example Sony appears to work well

Samsung was incompatible with ABC I view for a long time which caused a lot of gnashing of teeth in our house!!

Sony runs Android TV, Samsung and LG do not. So they require different apps with different coding that the developers have said isn't worth it for now. Android TV has more platforms so was preferenced.

I just bought a new tv Sunday and was tossing up between Sony and Samsung. Picked up a Sony based solely on it having Android TV (and built in Chromecast). I've just been watching the JLT on there and it is flawless, 1080p, better than my iq2 which I think maxes out at 720p. Tested some live streams too and it was perfect.

Native tv app is still going to be less stable than Appletv or the like and I had it crash a couple of times for me yesterday when testing out but I assume there bugs will get ironed out. Appletv works perfect too, 1080p and can't tell the difference between this and Foxtel. Still not 100% sold that it'll stand up once the real stuff begins (I'm picturing an Optus/world cup deal for Rich/Carl and Coll/Geel) but as if now I can't fault it.

I should mention I'm on Bigpond cable 100mbps so those on adsl probably won't have the same experience

The only downside is no NFL On demand by that just gives me an excuse to buy game pass :)

Dumb question coming up.

I just bought a Chromecast Ultra and naively thought I could download a Kayo app on to the device and not just stream it from my phone through Chromecast.

I’m thinking of now getting an Apple TV instead where there is an actual Kayo app.

Is there any way to watch through Chromecast through an app and not just stream from my phone?

Hi Clint

as I understand it Chromecast is a good but "dumb" streaming device so no.

It also has no wifi itself. It is taking the stream from your connected device.

Apple TV seems to work well according to the techos on whirlpool.

The main issue they are talking about is whether the devce has an automatic mechanism to alter the refresh rate from 50 to 60 to cope with the different streams. I think Apple TV has that ability but worth checking

Yes, used VPN for foxtel now last year, assuming Kayo would be the same

You can begin the cast from your phone to Chromecast and then exit the app to do other things while the stream continues on the tv.

Appletv works flawlessly but a more expensive option so depends what you want I guess

chromecast does have wifi

you can stream via a phone/tablet or it could be a PC/laptop using the google app, so clint could just instal the google streaming app on his pc and he should be ok

Only the finals

The full 2018 season is available but you have to do a bit of digging. I use the desktop version, so unsure of how to search in the app.

Yes it has wifi in the sense that it connects to your local wifi network to stream but it has no ability to connect to the web without the aid of another device such as a phone or PC

the nvidia shield is (currently) regarded as the rolls royce for streaming, includes 4k support and hdr. can get one for about $200

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
