AFL Live Pass Discontinued


John Crow Batty

Recommended Posts

Just tired to redeem the Telstra $5 Kayo deal and can’t get it to work. I get stuck in a loop during registration every time. Tried on multiple devices, private browsing windows etc and no success. I can’t even give these [censored] my [censored] money to watch. No support number to call either, just send feedback and hope for the best. These companies who own the broadcast rights are [censored] pathetic.

The whole direction of the game being manipulated to suit broadcasting and not being able to watch the [censored] broadcast is mind blowing poor.

If anyone has had a similar problem and had it solved, then please help a tragic demon out!

Are you doing it thru your Telstra rewards account? It worked for us when we tried it that way rather than redeeming an email link.

Yep tried going through Telstra account and via link in AFL app. Keep getting stuck at the last hurdle, then it loops through to and discount disappears and it asks you to confirm $25 a month. Happens on both phone and computer. It’s something to do with being an existing user, and I can’t even use a different email as it asks for your mobile during registration and then says phone number in use already ?

Thanks anyway!

That’s really weird. We are existing Telstra customers and we never had an issue. Maybe call them. That will be fun. Good luck!

Just some additional info for those who may be interested in Kayo.

While Kayo still takes the in game ch 7 commentary there are now no ad breaks (no commentary at that time) and during quarter breaks you get the Fox commentators not Ch 7

A welcome improvement

hi does anyone know if u have a Telstra mobile on the Telstra $5 deal is the data download for the streaming free?

 

What if you pay the $25 Kayo and you use Telstra mobile - again what abut the data download when streaming?

Question re Kayo...how long after the match finishes do they put it up to stream? I’m watching today but won’t always get to watch it live, if it takes a day or so I’ll switch back to Foxtel. TIA, ET out. 

it stays there for months.

The diff is that after a day or so it goes into replay mode which is lower quality video than the 1080 of match day

yes.. just select the play from start option (if the live/from start options are given) and you're away

the replays have the pregame comments cut out of them also

You can technically start from the start at any point. So if your out and about and come home at half time you can start it from the start rather than live rather than waiting for the match to finish. But as soon as the match is over you can watch the entire replay.

Currently battling with bloody Telstra “on line chat”

It appears that I am eligible fora $5 per month but cannot get them to answer what I get for this?

Is the open access $15 per month a better deal? Does that include golf?

no difference in the deal whatsoever so go for your $5 deal

Not a golf fan but as I understand it Kayo carries all the major golf tournaments plus a few levels below but it does not carry the "golf channel."

Same situation for tennis where the specialist tennis channle is not carried.

Just chucking this in here in case anyone else runs into weird issues trying to redeem the $5 Kayo deal you get this year through Telstra.

No matter if I went through Telstra account of AFL app link to Kayo, I couldn’t get it to work and kept getting generic error about account creation/link. 

Went through Telstra support and nothing wrong on their end. Went through Kayo support and after a week of no solution they discovered my mobile number was attached to an account that was never activated. Kayo accounts use a platform called SteamMotion which uses your mobile number to verify, so they can stop people redeeming multiple free trials. Somehow my phone number got attached to an account with an email address and details completely unrelated to me?! They removed it from their end and I was able to then able to create the account fine.

Hopefully this post helps someone else if they run into similar issues!

I could be wrong but I believe you need to register via a Telstra mobile device and have wifi disabled so that it validates you are on a Telstra cellular service. This worked for me and I'm on a Boost subscription, which uses Telstra network.

$5 per month for Kayo is unbelievable value for Melbourne Football Club digital subscription.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
