Community service announcement.

Times are tough.

Since Kayo bills in advance, don't forget to cancel soon.

Cheers.

    You can get a Foxtel sport package for $56 per month and you don't have to worry about dodgy delays and krappy internet.

    How much more is that than Kayo?

    I pay 30 pesos a month for two devices. My mate next door uses it and buys me beer. 

    For what it's worth I don't have any problems with it ever. Good pic quality and never drops out.

    Generally my Kayo on tv has been ok but when it has played up it usually worked on my phone without problems (using same wi-fi).

    It used to be that only Kayo was well behind the actual match time but I have noticed lately that Foxtel is now also behind. When checking stats on an app I often get spoiled about an upcoming score that hasn't happened on the TV. And yes I know Kayo and Foxtel are the same but Foxtel wasn't always so behind.

    I like to imagine that my $30 of Kayo is divided into $7 alimony for Jerry Hall, Wendi Murdoch, Anna Murdoch Mann and Patricia Booker, with the final $2 going to pay for when Tracc is on 360.

    It makes it much more palatable.

    Kayo is a great service but it's dying as sports are cherry picked by other streaming services.

    My guess is that F1 will be the next to go when that deal is up for renewal.

    For those having difficulties with Kayo blame your ISP or more likely your home wifi. Unlike movie streaming services kayo buffers only about 30 seconds of program. Movies might buffer 2 minutes or more. If your wifi suffers a minor outage which you would generally never notice while browsing or streaming TV the impact on a live sports stream is almost immediate.

    The answer is FTTP and a mesh router. You'll never have a problem with buffering again

    I was watching the game live on Kayo the other week, then I was told the game finished an hour ago!

    Just had a box arrive from work. Yet to plug it in, but the packaging is a bit like Apple. Must be good!

    Absolutely. Although for me that involves a ten hour drive.

    I'm wondering now if interest rates and living costs are impacting on attendance. Certainly a months Kayo sub is cheaper than going to one game. 

    But thanks for supporting the team in person.

    Kayo works best when it's received directly by the device, when it's cast to a chromecast etc. is when it has issue. I've got a TV in the lounge that has the app and never ever buffers, but out in the man cave where it goes from phone to chrome cast, it frequently buffers. I have yet to convince the good wife that I need a 3rd TV out there - but a more modern one!

    I only ever use Kayo via the app on the TV and we have really good, reliable fast internet that was just recently upgraded, and it still constantly buffers. Drives me absolutely mad.

    No good JNM, did the TV come with the app or did you have to install it? I've never experienced much buffering through the pre-installed app and that's been a common theme in discussions with friends, the app on the TV works really well but the casting has been ordinary, so sorry to hear yours isn't working. You could try uninstalling and then re-installing or clearing the cache?

    It's a Samsung so I just downloaded the app. I didn't think any TVs would come with Kayo pre-installed given it's an Australian app?

    I have re-installed the app once which helped a little, but it still buffers mid game sometimes, especially I think, when it's a game that a lot of people must be watching. Never happens when I try to watch a West Coast or North game 🙃

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
