Kayo v Foxtel Now

[theshed]

With the NRL app now no longer playing matches I will reluctantly succumb to the marketing racket and immigrate to one of the sport streaming services.

What’s the best value for money in Kayo v Foxtel Now sport package?

I do enjoy other sports from time to time and would enjoy some of the other NRL content such as 360 or Matty John’s. Not huge on tv and movies but would make use of it occasionally.
The main concern is the games and the price I guess.

Are there any other options out there (other than unofficial streams) ?

Cheers

Kayo is a no brainer IMO.

Kayo 100%

It has apps for every device (or just the website on desktop) and the UI is very easy to navigate. There’s even a no-spoiler mode for the whole thing so you can watch a game of anything on delay with no risk of it getting spoiled unless you accidentally hit ‘watch live’ instead ‘watch from start’

I have both and Kayo is the app I go to first.
Kayo > Foxtel Now x1000%

Thanks for the tip. Can you please share why that is? I know very little about both

Kayo has a much higher stream quality in my experience.

Kayo is basically a one stop shop for spot. As mentioned above it is easy to navigate and has a really big range of sports, even hot dog eating comps.

If you are a Telstra mobile customer and had the free NRL app there is an offer for Kayo $5 a month for 12 months.

Value for your money is the key for me.......
Kayo at full price is $25 a month and you get all the sport you want.
OR you go with Foxtel and pay $25 a month to get all the basic channels which you will hardly use, and then have to pay an additional $29 to add the sports pack.
For the same(ish) $ per month you can have Kayo, Netflix, Stan and Amazon Prime and have so much on demand content you won't keep up.

And just because it makes no sense to me.....how is it possible that you pay more to add a pack to an existing service than it does to buy the same service from scratch? $25 for Fox Sport ON ITS OWN or $29 to ADD IT to something you are already subscribing to?
Makes much more sense if Kayo was $29 or $30 and then the sports pack on Fox was an extra $15 or something.

Ugh hot dog eating comps. That's content that you can consume.

Does it matter what it's branded if it goes to the same piggy bank?

They said both Xbox and PS apps were coming "early this year"... In January last year. Absolutely hopeless.

And still limited to 1080p, fucking get with the times you dinosaurs.

I use the app on the smart tv in the living room, but I use the xbox to watch stuff in my room. Kind of shitty that it's 25 a month and still not on xbox or playstation yet.

You can watch it through microsoft edge but the playback isn't as smooth as the app.
