Pies too ugly to be viewed in 4K

It seems that few FTA games are in 4k. If this is right the whole Kayo in 4k thing is a bit of a con

    Channel 7 games would not be in 4K. Watched NRL in 4K on the weekend and it looked fantastic.

    Here's a link to the games in 4k for the first five rounds

    https://help.kayosports.com.au/s/article/Which-AFL-games-are-in-4K#one

    Looks like 5 games a week

    Our games for Round 1 and 2 are in 4k

    Not sure what is the criteria for selection as a 4k game but Friday night games seem to be rarely 4k

    Strangely Collingwood only has one 4k coverage in the first 5 rounds

    as expected it's the fox production games only

    c7 don't shoot in 4k

    What a strange outcome where the bigger games get the lesser quality coverage

    Reminds me of how long it took to drag the FTA channels into the HD world

    Lots of complaining on various forums about the Kayo 4k shell game.

    Foxtel does show Channel 7 games in 4k so it is available.

    Some suggest it's a rights issue. Others say it's a capacity problem. Bottom line it's a lesser product. As an aside it's been suggested they have also removed the 5:1 sound channel from AFL.

    Sounds to me like you get what you pay for with channel 7. You pay nothing so cop this.

    I've been watching the 4k games on kayo (diagnostics showing 3840x2160) and I seriously can't tell the difference from the usual HD. Am I missing something? TV is 4k.

    I've seen what its like on Foxtel but not Kayo yet. Will have to test it out. 

    Are you using a Smart TV app or chromecast/Apple TV?

    I've seen a couple of the 4K games as well on Kayo and it's only marginally better. I have very good eyes and am a stickler for this kind of thing. 1080p Kayo vs 4K Kayo is not worth an upgrade.

    Yeah that's a tough one, should be coming through perfectly with those specs. 

    I got a Sony 4K as well but usually chromecast. Will have a play around with the TV app and test it out.

    Maybe it is better but it's just marginal so hard to tell? I guess there was more definition in the grass etc but the actual game it was difficult to see much difference.

    Maybe if I had a bigger tv I think mines 55"

    I'm overseas so I've not had the chance.

    Pity me on WatchAFL at 720p

    Watch for the ball in the air. Can you see it clearly in the long shots?

    I have a 55” Sony oled 4K tv. And to me the 4K picture looks far sharper and better defined than the standard hi def picture. Easier to watch and makes the experience of viewing the game just that little bit more enjoyable.

    No doubt right Dr. the better the tv the better the result.

    I have Telstra high speed Nbn.

    Also have a very high res TV.

    I live in Wollongong and I haven't noticed a difference in the quality of Kayo at all.

    In fact it seemed a tad sketchy in the beginning of the game.

    It's probably still broadcast at its old res but any excuse to sting it's customers.

    It's Rupert remember. 

    Those private jets and yachts and wives all add up.

    Can see multiple people beat me to it. I had the 4K come up on Kayo diagnostics. Honestly couldn't tell the difference from the 4K and HD. i have a 65 inch OLED using an Apple TV 4K. 

    I have noticed a lot of buffering issues with Kayo so far this year - never had this issue previously.

    I have only watched the Sydney game, and the Carlton community series game on Kayo so far, and I had the opposite experience. Last year I had heaps of buffering issues, so far I have had none. Long may it stay that way.

    I used to have buffering issues on android tv but apple tv was fine, since last year it seems the reverse, quality drops/buffers on apple tv but android tv app seems pretty reliable (though was a bit blocky early in the Dogs game).

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
