I hear you, but if itโ€™s Netflix which most people already have, it means saving $30 a month on Kayo which Iโ€™m all for.ย 

Netflix most certainly put the price up. If they spend untold millions/billions to televise they will have to recoop their outlay.

ย 

If Netflix had the full coverage of AFL games, I would never need to switch on regular TV again.

I mean, sure, I'll miss out on the ads telling me the latest from Farmer Wants a Root and I won't be able to flick over to watch a 2017 rerun of 8 out of 10 Cats does countdown, but all in all, I think I can just about some gaffa tape over the 'TV' button and never regret it.

Plus, the movie where they put together the commentary team would be awesome.

I watch via the app on my Apple TV. ย Rarely an issue. If there is, its a router issue.

Ok.

Boomer Quetion.

When it says "video wont play" through the smart tv is that a router issue.

Asking for some [censored] that doesnt know and I just want to see if you know.

This year I have got Kayo to work reasonably. A wise person told me to update my Google Chrome and now it works without the spin of death. Picture quality is not as good as 7, but that is a small price for no Brian.ย 

I watch all games on Kayo now as the picture is markedly better the 7 HD channels. Same commentators though ๐Ÿซค

In Brisbane so maybe connection related.

I think when they took their interests to the US and met with Amazon but nothing came of it, that shut the door on anything like this.

I live in California and can watch a number of AFL and Rugby games on YouTube.TV, Fubo TV and Fox Sports.ย 

I use the WatchAFL app as it guarantees I get every game, the ones listed above (especially YouTube.TV which I subscribe to) don't always get them

Your router is just the gateway for internet access to your home which it will broadcast as a Wifi Signal for your devices and provide a wired connection to devices/switches through the cable ports on the back.ย 

It will be one or a combination of the following

  • Your TV settings are not configured to connect to your router over Wifi properly
    • Ideally run a cable from the TV direct to the router you will get higher resolution and better quality
  • You do not have an account with the video provider you are trying to access
  • You have an account with the video provider, but the subscription plan prevents it
  • You are being geo-blocked from accessing the videoย 
    • You can get around this with a VPN but shop around as many of them are blocked by streaming providers as they have increased their VPN detection - or they use a third party to do it (Kayo does this through Amazon Web Services)ย

Never had that message on my Apple TV, MacBook or iPhone sorry. ย Therese I get it a poor data rate which pixelates the image. ย 

Last night I watched the Dogs game from Sydney. The picture quality was terrible it looked like they only had half the lights on. I have noticed this problem for some time. The brightness issue is there all the time when watching a night game. When both 7 and Kayo are covering the same game the difference between the game on 7 and Kayo is amazing.ย

I don't think Netflix goes even close to warranting a price increase.

There normal content is rubbish.

Movies are cheaply made and often poor quality.

Most of their contentย  are murder documentaries or as the call them docuseries.

  • PREVIEW: Fremantle

    The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Nightโ€™s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourneโ€™s memorable premiership triumph.

  • NON-MFC: Round 02

    The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

    As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, weโ€™ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binmanโ€™s Stats Files. Not because it isnโ€™t important; quite the opposite. Itโ€™s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

  • PREGAME: Fremantle

    After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourneโ€™s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last yearโ€™s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although itโ€™s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sundayโ€™s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to foolโ€™s gold.

  • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

    Never in doubt!!! In Steven Kingโ€™s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
