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)

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.


What platform are you watching on?

What kind of internet do you have?

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.

I’ve tried this but it doesn’t change 🙁

  • 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.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    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.
