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.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
