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).

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
