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?

    No issues on android here 🤷‍♂️

    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)

  • Quote

    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 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.

    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 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.

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

    Same here.

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

    Tonight I’ll be watching our match at home by myself (lockdown flashbacks - shudder) since I’m usually at the game or on the rare occasion that I can’t be there, I watch it at TSG or Brewmanity with other Dees peeps. But I’m a little unwell rn so home alone it is.

    I’m hoping someone here can advise me on the Kayo problem I have, that being a 10-15 min delay when watching live. It used to be 2 mins or so which is bad enough but 15 minutes is unacceptable.

    Would appreciate any advice.

    That's a bizarre delay, it's usually around 30 second delay.

    At the risk of sounding like I work in IT, have you tried turning it off and on again?

    Have you tried selecting "jump to live" when you go to the scrubber/timer?

    sounds like a pebkac error

    are you on pc? integrated kayo on smart tv? apple tv?

    no matter what, definitely hit the "jump to live" button and it'll be about 30-45 sec behind

    Is that where you choose “from live” or “from start”? I always select from live but the delay is still lengthy. Right now it’s out to 15-mins delayed.

    I use a Google chrome cast to my TV. It works perfectly with everything other than Kayo.

    Dr G, I don’t know what a scrubber/timer is but I’d welcome a delay of 30-45 seconds.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
