Hi all,

 

I have received the digital demons text, offering me Kayo at $350 for the year.  Seems a good price compared to normal.

Do I just cancel my current membership and rejoin through this?  WIll that work?

I waited till mine was close to expiring then renewed but I didn’t cancel it just renewed  

I would contact MFC Membership department first to discuss as you need to first pay for it then u should receive an email from MFC which will have a link and follow the instructions from there. 

I am useless at this type of stuff but even I managed to do it successfully much to my surprise and my kids so u should be all good. 

Also I wouldn’t click on a link from a text because in this day and age it could be a scam  

Good luck with it bn.

Depends how much you like watching other sports. 

AFL is the only sport I’m really passionate about, and paying for Kayo during the AFL season only, works out cheaper ($320).

Mine auto renewed last October, but I don't have to activate the code until the old subscription expires. Or are you asking about changing from a different type of membership ( like armchair) to the digital one? A few years ago I changed my Armchair to a 3 game as I had a chance to get to a game, I rang and they changed for me. The membership team will be worth a call.

I have been with Foxtel since the Austar days ( 2004 ) I pay $66 per month for my package which includes most sports that I enjoy watching. The beauty of Fox Footy telecasts of all games live ( except AFL Grand Final :( ) is that there are no ads during play .I am unsure if this applies to Kayo ? By the way, if you go to the Foxtel website there's a heading " Max Coming Soon To Foxtel "......hmmmmm, I wonder !

Got mine last year with GWS. Renewal this year was $310. 

If anyone is in very remote australia and has no Kayo option, fox has confirmed that $25 per month for movies and afl with no lock in contracts. This is only available to remote Australians. I have the number if people want. Pretty good offer that includes foxtel go and streaming games on demand. Limit to 5 devices and 2 screens simultaneously.

Sounds great but check the fine print on AFL games. Binge (Kayo's "sister") has movies and some AFL when on channel 7.

Quite a different product to Kayo.

Good luck and may we ask where you hail from. Rare to hear from remote Australia these days.

Go Dees

In Yuendumu, which some of you may know. Actually see Liam around occasionally donning his demons hat.

I had to read the rest of the thread to understand it wasn't Max Gawn who was going to host another footy show. Seriously.

Has anyone got feedback on the extra coin for 4khd? 
Is it actually worthwhile?

I'm using Starlink and download speed is around 123MBPS
TIA

If you're watching on a big TV.. 65" plus 4k is great. (it's not a chalk and cheese difference... think 20%)

Your internet speed is more than enough.

Give it a go and if you don't like it you can cancel/downgrade your plan easily if you're paying month to month

This is the new world, with everyone moving to subscriptions. Everyone’s paying so much a year for all their various things.

Not sure but last year I did their $1 for 1 month special offer x 3 times (for a total of $3) which covered the periods we played away games that were not on free to air and then attended most home games. I struggle with Kayo due to the poor streaming quality that is worse than 7HD.

It beggars belief how bad Kayo's picture quality is. What intrigues me is live the quality is average at its best. But watch the same game on replay and it is considerably better Why? I watch NBL on Kayo and it is good as well why AFL?

Presuming they are streaming at a lower bitrate as there'd be a lot of simultaneous demand for the live stream (putting more pressure on servers), whereas replays are not all watched simultaneously.

That probably covers it.
