To those that use Kayo, Is the quality and reliability as good as Fox?
$25 sure beats the $43.50 I am paying now.

Depends on your internet connection really.

It usually works ok for me but it can get a bit iffy at times. I can't wait for NBN in May!

I'm on fibre to the node NBN (Node directly outside the house so that helps), and it's bloody brilliant. Doesn't have a Samsung Smart TV app which is shit, but it has built in Chromecast so I just run off the app to the TV. It's spectacular
 
For those that are wondering about Kayo - there is a 14 day free trial so you might as well just give it a go, see if it works for you and if not just cancel before you incur any charges. I personally think the people that will like it the most are the ones that have reliable internet connections, aren't super fussy about quality (if their internet isn't fast enough to stream at top quality) and are keen to save that that extra money compared to an option like foxtel notwithstanding the previous issues.

It's Fox Sports so it's the same as the Foxtel box - no ads siren to siren.

I think I'll give the 14 day trial a go, only concern is no international men's cricket in Australia but I guess you can watch free to air for most of that....

anyway back on topic, Carlton V Essendon - can't believe it's two days away.

As for the result of the match - sure I'd like to win comfortably but its not the primary concern. I'll be OK as long as our important players get a good run and show some good signs as well as not getting injured. Carlton are probably a bit ahead of us in match readiness at this stage given they've played a practice match vs Hawks last week so it may even things up. Hopefully we can see some signs of the structures we've put in place but often it takes a few weeks to refine this stuff - there's a reason why round 1 is often the highest scoring round of the entire year, its because a lot of the defensive structures aren't quite locked down yet (+ less injuries to talented forwards).

The above may all be excuses but ultimately who cares about a glorified practice match. The real focus has to be on round 1.

Picture quailty is great, the equal of my old IQ3. Reliability depends on how you plan to set up. Eventually I got chromecast as I was having too many issues using browsers or my xbox, & the chromecast is working well so far.

The real test for Kayo will come on the first Thursday night game in a months time - will their servers be able to handle the demand?

They source the footy feed from FoxFooty and Foxtel's online service which has been fine for the past year or so, I'd imagine they'd be fine

Assistant coach Hayden Skipworth says Essendon is placing a high importance on the JLT Community Series.

The Bombers will open their JLT campaign against Carlton at Ikon Park on Thursday night, before facing Geelong at GMHBA Stadium a week later.

Skipworth, who’s in charge of Essendon’s midfield, said the current pre-season competition format meant teams had to hit the ground running.

“We take every game seriously,” Skipworth told RSN 927.

“We want to get our game plan rolling and our guys in form early … We know we don’t have that third game (of pre-season anymore).”

The Bombers are expected to name a near full-strength line-up for Thursday, with stars Joe Daniher, Dyson Heppell and Zach Merrett available.

Despite the trio being on modified programs at different stages throughout pre-season, Skipworth said they were ready to tackle the Blues.

“We’ve been able to get a lot of work into them, whether that’s in the rehab group or cross-training,” he said.

“With the measurements these days, the (injured) boys don’t seem to miss much at all and they seamlessly slip back into (main) training.

“We’re not concerned. They’ve (Daniher, Heppell and Merrett) also had many pre-seasons under their belts.”

Thursday could mark boom recruit Dylan Shiel’s first outing in the red and black, while fellow newcomer Zac Clarke is also in the selection mix after an impressive pre-season.

Skipworth said Shiel had settled in seamlessly since crossing over from GWS.

“He’s the ultimate professional. He’s added to our culture from day one, just with his preparation - we’ve got a lot of guys in that category,” he said.

“I think one of our strengths is our speed on the outside with Fantasia, McDonald-Tipungwuti, Conor (McKenna) and Saad from the back and McGrath through the midfield.

“Shiel’s dynamic, he’s a good runner and he’s got that speed, which ties into our strengths.”

The Bombers will announce their squad to face Carlton at 6:20pm AEDT on Wednesday.

I would highly recommend it for the price. It's what we have been asking them for years to provide.

I saw a Reddit post this morning that android tv app is available or about to be.
Otherwise streaming through a Chromecast is perfectly fine, I watched the NFL season on it with no issues on quality.
I use an older Chromecast whilst they recommend a new generation one and I have zero issues so there is also some flexibility.

I'd try the 14 day trial over the JLT series to test out how it runs for your needs.

I have a Telstra TV device which I have never used. Will this allow me to stream to my TV?
 
This is turning into a bun fight through the Telstra device. I have contacted Kayo with my problem and they tried to tell me I don't know my own email address. Losing interest very quickly.

This just gets better and better. Now they are telling me that once you open an account it can't be cancelled WTF!
