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.

    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.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
