Any Chromecast guru's out there? Looking at the Google Chromecast Ultra Black ~ $98 & the Google Chromecast 3rd Generation ~ $59. Only difference seems to be that the Ultra can stream in 4K, does that sound right?
Got Kayo last week in preparation for the AFL season. While the stream quality is great, the layout of the website is rubbish. There needs to be a simple channel list or broadcast guide, basic text & times and not this stupid banners that you can't even scroll through properly. Currently it a "log on and see what sports are being telecast" kind of setup.
I'm sure it's a matter of getting used to it and then I'll be able to navigate better. But first impression isn't the best.

Yeah I reckon this would work. Have done similar in the past.
I bought Chromecast Ultra last week on the understanding that the only difference is the 4K.
Figured for an extra $40, might as well get the 4K version to go with my new 4K TV.
Mate of mine had been trying to cancel Foxtel for a while, every couple months he'd call determined he would cancel it this time but each time they would knock a couple bucks off the price until he had down to an unheard of low.
My brother got wind of this story and called up Foxtel expecting to get the full discounted price at first threat of cancelling. Foxtel politely replied "ok sir, we have cancelled your subscription. If you change your mind...". The next day he called back and got it switched back on.
Moral of the story? You need Foxtel more than they need you.
I called last month with the same threat and got my $69 basic sport and HD down to $39. Only for 4 months however the girl said to call back before the 4 months and they’d look after me again. I suppose I’ll keep doing this until they stop discounting and then move to Kayo.
I had the 2 week trial and thought it was really good but bit too expensive on top of other bills - I’m wondering though, if it would be cheaper to buy a bunch of prepaid SIM cards and keep signing up for trials - I’m guessing there’s a device lock type precaution though. Lol
Although I prefer the convenience and reliability of FOX sports package, it's good to see another player in the market that gives people the chance to watch live sport

Same player but with different packaging.
One is streaming service though not direct via satellite. It's the streaming I dont like and having to fluff around with chromecast etc. Still, it's good for some and more options is great.

Be cheaper again to find free (& illegal) sports streams on the inner nets. If you cant understand the russian websites, give fancy bear a call, they'll help you out.....
Pop and Life style $25 as the entry pack and then i have to add the sports pack which is $29
$54 a month just to watch Footy
Foxtel are ****ing joke I'm surprised they are still in business.

got an unlimited broadband plan? You'll probably need it.
I do I’m with Optus cable
Ultra has Ethernet which is useful if you have flaky WIFI.
Signed up yesterday. Fairly happy with it so far. Layout is like a poor man's Netflix, but easy enough to navigate for mine - I'm sure more organisation will come over time to make it even simpler.
Watched the condensed version of BBL final and the Melbourne Rebels game, and I've been streaming the basketball today at work. Quality streaming so far, looks like it will be good bang for my buck.

Picked up the 3rd generation one today, ultras sold out everywhere I tried, working really well.
Can't believe people fall for the 4k rubbish, it's just a marketing ploy to get you to buy new TVs and pay more for your streaming services. The human eye can't tell the difference once it gets to that resolution, it's science.
Vodafone TV is $72 has 4k support and built in chromecast.

Nope, answered earlier in thread. Ultra and above. Apparently Kayo have stated that 3rd Gen chromecast is above (ie. later model than Ultra).
