Should be, AFL replays go back 12 months or something.

Yes - I find replays are available pretty much straight away.
I don't know why they can't do this with Foxtel Now. This season it's regularly taken 24 hours for them to make the replay available but two days later and I still can't rewatch the Eagles getting spanked by Port.
This is why I prefer Kayo to foxtel, I can watch whatever I want when I want and don't have to remember to record anything.
Fox Now basically is Kayo, but without the streaming issues some seem to have. It's all app streaming, no satellite. But it takes them forever to make live sports available for a restream, which I don't believe is an issue with satellite Fox, and it sounds like it's not an issue with Kayo either.
So foxtel satellite you can rewatch whatever you like, start watching half an hour behind etc?
I believe so. Foxtel Now you can rewind half an hour. Satellite might be more than that.

For some reason AFL site and Kayo apparently seems to be very heavy using system processing resources.
My MBP heats up and runs really hard anytime I watch AFL website videos.
When i stream www.watchafl.com,au (as im overseas) its WAY better and less demanding which matches my seppo www.watchespn account when im streaming f1 races.
Something about aussie based coding for system resources seems to be an issue.

We pay Australia tax on everything, even on system resources.

I've found the steam quality of Hawthorn games on Kayo to be terrible this year.
Every weekend it's the same issues: turnovers, missed tackles, skill errors, poor decision making and the inability to take a mark up forward.
The streams were quite good over the past two matches, but they both would've benefitted from pixillation in the final two minutes.
They need to give users the option of lowering the bitrate to 50 kbps

Almost unwatchable via chromecast. Constant buffering. The game is 5 minutes behind by the final siren.

Should probably report them to accc in that they aren't providing the service paid for
It's absolutely horse s**t at the moment and isn't fit for purpose. The ACCC need to get involved in this.
They obviously arnt paying for enough bandwidth, and are just ruining people's gameday experiences.
At the moment I have just opted to watch the game after its finished, or watch it on FTA

Plenty of dropouts on my Sony TV.
It doesn't even buffer.. just goes from perfectly fine to error.
Have to exit and re-load the content about twice a quarter.
Painful.

I had a pretty poor experience on Saturday with the Blues v Dogs game on my LG tv. There was a constant loading image showing a percentage on the screen, which was also dimmed, after 5 seconds or so of streaming.
A fix I found was to stream on my phone and use Airplay to connect to the tv - the buffering and loading issues disappeared. Presumably the component used in my iPhone 13 Pro Max is better than the one used by the tv to connect to my home WiFi.

iTWire - Rudd blames News Corp ties for 'sub-standard' Coalition NBN
Former Australian prime minister Kevin Rudd claims the Coalition Government changed its NBN policy to ensure "a sub-standard network" due to its "cosy relationship" with the Rupert Murdoch-owned News Corporation. Rudd told The Saturday Paper in an interview that he was surprised that...
