News Live Pass scrapped - Kayo now sole streaming option.

[Lach72]

what do you mean by year 2?

They're giving a deal for the first year of 5 bucks a month...in year 2 it goes to 25 a month

 

[Kappa]

Actually I won't pay for it or use my data as I will just listen to the games on the radio. I am not getting an unlimited data plan just because Telstra are greedy.

U don't need unlimited data, it doesn't use that much to stream for a few hours per week.

 

[RUNVS]

U don't need unlimited data, it doesn't use that much to stream for a few hours per week.

If you want to watch 3 games a week online that is approaching 9 hours. Multiply that by 4 and that is 36 hours a month.

 

[Donakebab]

So are they going to up the availability of Kayo? The app isn't even available on a lot of brand new smart TV's.

****ing Murdoch scum.

 

[Power Raid]

In year 2 it goes to 300 bucks a year.

goodbye AFL off the phone anyway

AFL is not worth $300

if you only have it during the afl season say 6 months instead of 12 you could knock half that to $150 per year which isnt the absolute worst i suppose.

 

[The 747]

As an observation, this is not the year I would be making it harder to access football. Last year Victorians really didn't have much to do other than watch god awful football games......

 

[g_TRAIN]

Can redeem this offer if I'm already a kayo customer or is it only new customers?

 

[sprockets]

Kayo has a lot going for it. It's pretty reliable now and you get to watch other things like MotoGP and F1. I only hope there are provisions in place for the increased traffic.

Apparently you have to wait until the existing subscription ends.

 

[Gigantic]

Always managed to get better quality streaming off Live Pass through the app than Kayo. Hopefully video quality is better this year

 

[Donakebab]

It would be nice if clubs negotiated deals for members who are already shelling out a hefty sum.

The issue for me isn't the dollars, it is about taking away the game from the poor and ordinary. If the wealthy and stupid (those who really can't afford it) subscribe, then FTA and affordable access is gone.

I feel quite strongly that water, air, education, medical and gatherings of social importance/ culture are readily available for all. F' Kayo, F' Foxtel and F' $1m pay packets.

How can AFL/Telstra do this when people may have signed up to Telstra plans only because of this? Legally how can this happen

 

[Mkcaptain]

Unmetered AFL was my last reason for keeping Telstra. I guess it was always too good to last forever.

$5 Kayo monthly is great value and very sensible from them from a business sense and a PR sense. They've turned a massive negative of removing AFL Live Passes into positive press releases for themselves. By the time Kayo switches over to $25 a month people will have forgotten what they're missing out on.

 

[Atomboy]

Yeh Ive just found out how to watch it in the Middle East;

AFL Football Online | Watch AFL Overseas

Watch Australian football matches live and online with a Watch AFL Global Pass. See every AFL match live & on demand plus the 24/7 FOX FOOTY Channel.

www.watchafl.com.au

It appears I have to pay $199 to watch AFL this year from the ME but I can only watch it on my mobile phone. With the different time zones, I'ii just try and watch the game highlights via the AFL app instead.

You can also stream direct through your Smart TV via wifi

Yeah i agree in principal - its a travesty that limited-overs international cricket + select bbl matches are behind paywalls. The only thing ill say is that kayo is much more accessible than foxtel sports so this isnt the tragedy that it wouldve been a few years ago. Hopefully Murdoch ends up dropping the sports rights like he dropped 20 century pictures to Disney so we can get better (and more ethical offerings)

How much data does Kayo Sports use?
Kayo's data usage is fairly standard for a streaming service. You'll use 2.5GB of data per hour watching at 720p, and 3.25GB per hour at 1080p.

But it's worth noting that using SplitView will multiply your data usage. For example, watching two games simultaneously will double your hourly data usage. Two 1080p streams will use 6.5GB per hour, three will use 9.75GB per hour, and four will use 13GB per hour.

Ever wished you could get access to Foxtel Sports without paying the minimum $54 per month access fee? Well, now you can, with Kayo, Foxtel's stand-alone sports streaming platform.

I am a shift worker. I am often at work during games so I like to watch the games while I am working.

 

[And_ROOS]

And back to streaming. Thanks Kayo.

 

[DieSwans]

Telstra customers gotta pay like the rest of us....boo hoo

Hope your not a train driver

I am as close to that without actually being right
