[RU_]

Anyone had the drama with Kayo where it plays fine for like 3-4 minutes and then buffers, gets to 100% and just wont start again? Have to refresh the page.

My answer would be: any TV.

We are quite lucky in the UK. (of course your afternoon games are early hours of the morning here)
We get 5 AFL matches every week as part of the BT Sports package (4 channels) which
also includes all Aussie A League Soccer games plus IPL/Big Bash Men and Women/Ashes down under cricket.
Champions League/Premier League Soccer plus loads of other sports.
That is without the umpteen Sky Sports channels and Eurosport.
Even Pakistan v Australia is on a free Asian channel.

Anyone getting random $1 withdrawals from Kayo?

I believe it does Pablito - I haven't signed up yet, but from my understanding you can stream all Foxtel sports content (except Eurosport, Premier League
club channels and Sky Racing) live or on-demand, which includes all other sports stations.

As I have to switch to NBN in the next month or two I was looking at the Telstra bundle at $99 for internet standard plus, a mobile sim with unlimited data and 2 years free foxtel now with basic pop and lifestyle and bigpond movies, it also comes with a telstra tv box.

My NBN is so bad kayo barely works. I do have 2 websites I can stream it on and this works a bit better. I stream it for free and I couldn't care less.

Any updates on this for 2020? I ditched Foxtel a month ago as I only want it for Carlton games and literally nothing else.

I was looking at Kayo once the 2020 season re-starts, and I'd like to ditch it as soon as the regular season is over as finals games are usually all on FTA.

I'll refer to a reply I made to someone on the Geelong forum:

Another option on top of a Chromecast or Apple TV is to get an official android tv device. A Mi Box (or newer Mi Box s) or Nvidia Shield TV. I have owned and used both with Kayo and Kodi Kayo add on and all work well. Advantage with these boxes is they have chromecast built in so you can use that or install the app on the box.

Shields are a bit under $300 as major electronics retailers. If you can find a 2017 model for cheaper on ebay or somewhere else or used they are fine too (is what I have). Essentially have the same hardware as new ones.

Kayo goes really well on an apple tv

Good luck watching the footy overseas if your anywhere outside the UK or Canada. Only way you can is if someone streams it themselves and puts it on live streaming on YouTube or one of those platforms from what I can tell. Every other platform doesn't allow access. You can only listen to live matches via the AFL app.
