Set my IQ4 to record the replay of yesterday's match. Listed as starting at 2.55 am. Sat down this morning to watch (and enjoy) but no, the replay ran out midway through third quarter.

What is going on? It seems that Foxtel cannot control their times and allow the post match shows to go way past their alloted times so that by the time they get to our replay start time, they are still showing garbage.

So I look for another replay to record - guess what, there is no other time this week only multiple minis and replays of Mike Sheahan and silly footy panel shows. What a disgusting service by Foxtel.ย  I know I should add 30 minutes minimum to recording replays but why should I waste my memory just because they can't manage their shows.

Is there any other source to record the full replay?

Switch to Kayo, you can watch the replay whenever you want and don't have to record it yourself.

Kayo costs more money - if not for ad free footy and cricket, Foxtel would not be worth it.

Kayo is a lot cheaper than Foxtel. If you mostly want the sport I suggest ditchย Foxtel and go with Kayo.ย 


If you click on Sport and go to AFL, then scroll all the way down to teams you can pick Melbourne and watch any replay from this year.ย 

Jiust add the 30 minutes for ANY sports as they often go into the next program.ย  ย It is not a waste of memory, you simply delete after watching it anyway most times. If you want to continue to pull your hair out missing end of sporting events don't add it :Pย ย 

Simples!

I finally switched to Kayo this year, was piggy backing off the folks IQ for a bit but they got the new IQ4 box which I really can't be bothered getting my head around so I stuffed it.

Do it, it's better.

Kayo + Binge = Foxtel at less than half the price. The only downside is the streaming options are only in Full HD where Foxtel is up to 4K for some shows. Only a matter of time until they ditch the ancient satellite broadcasting setup and go full terrestrial at the same quality.ย

Canโ€™t you just go to the AFL section under the Sport tab and stream the replay from there? Thatโ€™s what Iโ€™m doing as I type this.

Hopefully Kayo gets 4K sometime soon

Thanks but I also use Foxtel for other viewing such as news, other sports, streaming movies and tv shows and some classic car shows. Too hard to give up so I will just add 30 minutes from now on but with he weagles replay it would have needed 60 minutes.

With the Brisbane game you would have needed even more extra time, or else you would have missed the best bit!

Watching the replay off the "AFL live" app, now. I can cast it to the TV (the web site doesn't allow casting).ย 

They put it on under 24 hrs from the end of the game.

[Too cold and wet for me to head to pub viewing yesterday. Plus, I don't particularly like being around people on their drug (alcohol), I usually end up being the mate of the inebriated, who doesn't give me space or continues to want my time during play. Then there is the grog bravado's, who fill the place with noise and energy, ok if you are one of them. Ostracised, and bored if not on that "high" and building level. Sometimes no alternatives.]

Single person household, so the subscriptions to stream or package,ย  a bit too costly for me living within my financial means.

The app replays all the games.

Yes, It's just a Matter of time before Satellite TV is gone.

You can even purchase "cable" channels individually with YouTube TV (at least in the US).

I think itโ€™ll become a point of differentiation or playing catch-up once ch 7 get streaming rights from next year. If they stream in 4K itโ€™ll force Kayos hand.ย

Is it just me or is streaming still not quite a 100% alternative to aerial? We're still at the mercy of this country's average internet aren't we?

Not anymore with 5G.

Your probably right, would that be the case with NBN too? Wish they could fix the few seconds delay.

My NBN is working fine. Got 100 Mbps speed, which is very good for 4K streaming. Regarding the delay, I am not IT expert but I believe it is more related to latency.ย 

Latency can't be fixed simply with higher speeds. It's more about the cloud/network architecture (of your ISP and the broadcaster).

Is it something that the course of time everything can adjust to? I'd just be hoping that it's always improving.

to stream live sports in 4k you only need a speed of around 15mbs which most people have.

The issue with live sports is because it's live you don't get the benefit of buffering that you get on non live tv.

Most times the speed variation is simply something within your house or neighbourhood causing a momentary lull. On non live TV you never notice it because they have buffered 2-5 minutes onto your stream.

I have FFTP NBN and an Orbi Mesh....... never a problem

Oh ok so delay is usually always a buffering thing?ย 

Let's say the stream was perfectly 'live' it would be essentially like a satellite broadcast (until buffering kicks in)?

would you accept 5, 10 or 15 minute delay in return for say 8k quality... it's all about trade offs

Personally I'd be ok with the delay

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmyโ€™s inclusive bannerโ€”"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwoodโ€™s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.ย

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • 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 forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” 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 Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™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

    Narrm time isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™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.
