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 🙃

    • 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.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
