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

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

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.  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. 

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

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 can't see any international streaming service having significant interest in a small domestic competition like the afl or nrl

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

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. 

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 video 
  • 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)

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

[old dee 23,256]

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.

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 content  are murder documentaries or as the call them docuseries.
