Hoping anyone out there knows, just got back from some time away and went to catch up on the footy I missed. When I went to watch the Casey games they are gone.

Has Kayo lost the VFL? There is a local footy link, but it is Sydney games and I am in Brisbane.

Thanks Roy, I saw that the AFL were showing it but didn't realise Kayo was no longer. It's great to be free for everyone but I liked the comfort and ease of watching on the TV. Have to have Kayo anyway in Brisbane or you miss too many games.

I think 7 have a vfl match of the week, and I'd it will be on catch up (7plus)

The most annoying feature of kayo is when you join the telecast after it has started (usually out doing kids stuff) and it puts the bloody score at the top of the screen.  I have to block that part of the screen with my hand so I don't see it.  Does the same with the big bash games. 

Otherwise best thing for me in WA, can see every game on the big tv and not have to pay for all that other Foxtel crap. 

 

 

 

I think you can turn that off - no spoilers setting?

Yep, you can.

On kayo dropping our and dl8nf weird stuff, my assumption is it related to internet connectivity issues eg someone in the house starts a video chat.

Some apps and services cope better with drops in internet speed I think - perhaps more sophisticated system architecture?

Slightly related but I thought I would download the AFL app onto my Nvidia Shield so I could watch the VFL live stream on my TV.

Notice comes up that The "Telstra" AFL app is not available for download to my device.

So it looks like Telstra are forcing us onto phones and the like to watch the VFL etc.

You have to love the media carve up !!

Do you use the phones 4G/5G or your home wifi? If it's the home wifi there could be interference with the wifi signal. If you have 2.4ghz and 5ghz options for your home wifi try the 5ghz one as it usually has less interference from home appliances such as microwaves etc

Hi mate. My phone never has issues with Kayo. But my laptop drops out during play a lot. The Wifi then disconnects. I'm not sure if Kayo could "cause" the internet to go down, it wouldn't seem like it. But I don't recall the internet dropping out while doing anything else

Very strange, I usually have it the other way round with phone dropping out and laptop steady.

Generally Kayo works OK but a few times it has frozen and nothing can be done until I reload Kayo in the browser I am using (on a Mac).  Nothing else is putting pressure on my Wifi at the time. A problem at their end I am pretty sure.

Have issues with kayo, sometimes will not load selected program, log out and on several times then it works. Very laggy, no problems with Netflix of anything else. Seems to hang every time f1 goes to ad break. If there was any other way to watch AFL and F1 I would use it. (and pay)

the quality of the stream is fine thru telstra tv, mediocre and variable thru apple tv, but on browser is abysmal to the point where you literally can't see what is happening as it's all pixels

it says you need high speed to watch; clearly my 100mbps doesn't cut the mustard for the broadcast of games live nor on delay but MAN do the ads look crisp

I have the same issues with the F1. Strangely, I only ever seem to have issues with the stream when it's the F1 - including poor syncing of audio to stream or heavily jittery frames.

Mine is fine on the app on a LG C2 or LG C1 tv, as long as I watch the game live. Otherwise the quality can suffer.

I could be wrong on this, but I recall reading that replays are compressed and aren't displayed in true HD.

I must be one of the lucky one's, I use the App on a Samsung TV, the TV goes straight into a data point so internet speed is quick. I've had Kayo for years and never had any issues. 

Same here.

Pardon the pun but the issues may depend on what brand of "Smart" TV you own.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
