Streaming Bye bye Telstra Box

[Gasometer]

Off to the plastic grave yard this week on Halloween

Who’s in the same situation?

I’ve updated to the new whatever it is version

And then unplugged it when I realised Kayo is not on it

I will watch the Mexican GP in the morning and then it’s bye bye

(Before you post, the current TV from 2016 does not carry Kayo either…which is the other option…upgrade the tv)

I was in the same boat and ended up getting an amazon fire stick. Does the same as the telstra tv and more. And is much quicker.

Kayo?

Yeah have to deal with this this week for a TV that we have in our garage

So what is the best course here - the Amazon firestick just plugs in to USB and operates?

When I last had a dumb TV, I got a Google Chromecast, which allowed me to stream from my smartphone (cast) to my TV. It worked beautifully.

I work for Telstra and hadn’t even bothered to avail myself of what the Fetch offered when I ungraded: using my employee discount it worked out to something obscenely cheap like $2.45 a month to get the fetch. When I set it up I realised almost instantly that it doesn’t support Binge or Kayo so after all the shit I heaped on the Hubble for its insanely annoying ads I may as well have just bought one.

The Fetch IS good in some respects; the Home Screen offers about 50 or so streaming ‘channels’ that you can just scroll through which are pretty good, some documentary channels that have already provided a fair bit of decent viewing, two ESPN channels, music channels, the Australian FTA channels, some movie ones, and it’s got most of the other normal apps but I basically want to be able to watch sport in bed and get drunk. It shouldn’t be too much to ask.

No Kayo on Plex either when I plugged it in

Like Quivorir said, go with the Fire Stick, cheapest option I think too.

I've had a Chromecast for years and picked that over the firestick due to less ****ing around with downloading playstore apps. Best tech purchase I've made in years.

I think I’m gonna wait to Black Friday sales running around looking at TVs this morning

One fool made the prediction that there’s huge discounts coming

I quietly backed out and said yeh I will wait

 

[Quivorir]

Kayo?

Sorry brother missed this. Yes it has kayo.

What does/did a Telstra box do that a smart tv doesn't?
