What platform are you watching on?

What kind of internet do you have?

I can’t answer either of these questions. I’m a dinosaur when it comes to this sort of thing. I just turn things on and they work. Except for Kayo

    Platform is Chromecast, you mentioned. Shouldn’t be an issue. Likely you have slow or congested net pushing your feed back and back.

    Change the quality to SD only and click jump to live (little square live button at the bottom). If that doesn’t work, it could be a very specific bug with the setup you have - try opening up Kayo website on laptop/phone/pc, and test if it’s delayed there also.

    You may potentially need another way to watch it, there are many ways/apps to get it on TV without spending money that you might already have (kids Xbox/PS, hdmi from laptop etc.)

    Sounds like you attend every game so it’s probably not a massive issue for you unless you watch other games too.

    Very strange problem GW. As others have said the delay should be around 30 seconds

    I can for example listen to the cricket on the radio and if there's a good shot or a wicket have time to look up and see the bowler starting his run up.

    Years ago when kayo used to buffer due to my old internet one might be 5 minutes behind by the end of a game but 15 mins is weird.

    i think you have probably blundered into a time warp and are now a time traveller

    I do watch other games but the delay is okay because I’m not so invested in them. I just turn off notifications on my phone so there’s no spoilers. But this is different… this is our game and the only way to avoid spoilers is to tum my phone off completely.

    Thank you for the suggestions. I will try each one.

    I’ve got three friends who have the same length delay. One of them is Mrs Fritta. She contacted Kayo and all they did was to tell her how to go about unsubscribing. How’s that for customer service, huh 🙄

    Thanks so much all. I never knew there was the jump to live option. And now it’s working perfectly.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
