      It works fine on my Mecool android TV box. I downloaded the android app (ver 1.1.4) straight from Google Play. It's the phone app, so orientation is turned 90 degrees, but I fix that with the Rotate Screen Orientation app (or similar). You need an air mouse (or ordinary mouse) for full navigation functionality, but it all works great in HD.

    It's pretty decent for $24, compared to $70 at foxtel.
    Shortcuts though is with the stream I found the motion to not be so great and theienderiniaitoj of he is 730p but apart from that cheapest way for sport right now

    • ESEMCE on 26/12/2018 - 11:30

      The motion issues could be due to the device you're using… Chromecast 1 and 2 are only capable of 30fps

      • BuDWiZe on 26/12/2018 - 11:38

        Tried with their app on tv and also via web page link on pc

        • DiSTURBED-oNE on 26/12/2018 - 11:49
          +2

          the streams are 1080p at 50fps, you should get smooth video

          if you are not, it could be:
          * your internet
          * your device / connection

          • BuDWiZe on 26/12/2018 - 12:08

            @DiSTURBED-oNE: I will have another look as was not getting 1080p or 50fps at all . Internet speed is fine I'm on cable and be changed 115 mbit

          • Villan on 26/12/2018 - 14:14

            @DiSTURBED-oNE: Very tempting service. I'm using one of the older Telstra TVs and getting odd stuttering though. It's probably too old. Things seem good through PC. Got a couple of android boxes I'll test later.

            So if I'm right, live programs are all 1080i/50, while pre-recorded content is 25fps? I just watched an AFL finals game from this year and that was certainly not 50fps.

            • serpserpserp on 26/12/2018 - 14:48

              @Villan: It switches to 30fps when it can't provide 50fps (which I thought was 60fps).

              • Villan on 26/12/2018 - 16:37

                @serpserpserp: Interesting. I think my problem with the Telstra TV might be a bit different, though.

                I'm curious, does anyone know the refresh rate of the 4200TL - Telstra TV? And how to change it? I can't find out how to change it anywhere, and if this rebadged Roku box is locked at 60hz, then feeding it a 50hz signal might be the cause of these microstutters I'm seeing when watching the cricket.

                I've tried downgrading to 720 and even further to an SD res and the stutters still exist so I don't know what else it could be besides the refresh rate of the box itself.

                EDIT: Just read the Whirlpool thread. Yep, the app has a problem on this device.

                • kirt on 26/12/2018 - 17:07

                  @Villan: The 4200TL (TTV1) runs at 50Hz.

                  There is currently an audio sync problem on the TTV1 (was recently fixed for the TTV2).

                  See here for all issues with all devices:

                    @kirt: Thank you. I was just able to confirm that myself by using a different panel measuring refresh rates. Hopefully, my microstutter issue is related to the audio sync issue.

                -1

                @serpserpserp: the full raw stream is 1080p 50fps (1920x1080 @ 50fps progressive scan) but it can dynamically drop resolution and bitrate based on the speed of your connection.
                if you are getting 30fps or 60fps your device is set up wrong or doesn't support 50hz output.

            • DiSTURBED-oNE on 27/12/2018 - 00:18

              @Villan: live sport is 1080p at 50 fps, not 1080i, there is no interlaced content on Kayo.

              there is some pre-recorded content that would be 25 fps, but it would be doubled to 50 fps before hitting your box, so not all content may appear to be 50 fps.
              if you want to know what devices are the best to use, check the whirlpool threads, there is someone that has linked to a list with all the tested boxes and pros and cons.

              I am personally waiting for the office Android TV app and Samsung Smart TV app.
              Android TV one is nearly finished, the Samsung one is on their roadmap (emailed them).

      • Gave almost half a billion dollars to some two-bit 'environmental organisation that never asked for a cent
      • They still for some stupid reason think COAL is the way to go, and have smashed investor confidence in renewable energy
      • Spent $120 million on a plebiscite for gay marriage when the right answer was already very clear
      • Have done NOTHING for climate or energy policy because they can't even agree IN THEIR OWN PARTY what they should do
      • Changed a Prime Minister for no good reason whatsoever other than the factional minority right didn't like the guy up front, when 70% of the population approved him as PM over the other guy
      • Had to be dragged kicking and screaming for a banking royal commission, and just look what it uncovered!
      • Pushing for a $50 billion tax cut to large companies when everyone knows trickle down economics is a fallacy and the only reason they are doing it is because of the huge corporate "donations" to Liberal coffers
      • Won't look at minimising the tax benefits of negative gearing because on average Liberal politicians have many more investment properties than Labor do, so again… won't look after OUR tax coffers and prefer to look after their own wallets.
      • Lets not mention what they think of females…

      The Liberal Party have accomplished NOTHING in their term in office.
      Budget is looking a little better now based on increased tax revenue coming in from the mining sector… nothing to do with expenditure, which won them office ON FEAR. The national debt when they fearmongered to win office TRIPLED in their time in office. "We will be paying off Labor's debt for generations" is what we were all told.

But this is the reality we live in without upper and lower house majority they do not work together fir results they work to sabotage and exploit. They are both extremely guilty of it especially since Gillard period onwards. I detest them both, guilty af, but just whinging about the current libs like this is at best wilful ignorance or worst plain deceitful. It completely ignores the reality of how they are operating which is exactly what they want so you keep voting either way… and we keep losing.

        Due to the ever-changing jungle that is sports streaming rights, there have been some changes to our original published list of sports on Kayo. The Diamond League (Athletics), Equestrian, National Hockey League (NHL), Indycar, European Rugby Challenge Cup, European Rugby Champions Cup and Rugby Union Guinness Pro 14 are no longer available through Kayo. (Outside of the Diamond League and Equestrian, these sports are also not available through Foxtel).

    It's a good service but is the standard foxtel ripoff where you're forced to pay for the full package at $25/month, even if you only have an interest in one or two sports.

    • 2024 on 26/12/2018 - 13:27

      Which is why you have the option of league passes.
      They also run you $200+ for each season of a specific sport, albeit you get every game rather than ones foxtel deem slot-worthy.

      So far, this is the best sports option Australia has been given, since most sport has gone behind a pay wall.

      Standard foxtel ripoff is to charge you $29 for the compulsory "Entertainment package" on top of sports (another $29) and then another $10 for hd. This is much more reasonable.

        Some people are just never happy. Some spud on Reddit was complaining that this was too expensive because he's a 'uni student'. Hate to remind him but when I was a student, spending $100+ on any given night out was the norm. This is a gimme compared to that.

    • mortyestmorty on 26/12/2018 - 17:43

      It's hardly a ripoff when Foxtel forces you to buy a basic TV package before you can add on a sports package. If you don't have Foxtel already this is a game changer. And for $25 you get two screens which means you can split the costs with someone and only pay $12.50 a month.

    Been testing this out on my home and mobile connections since yesterday and I'm actually impressed at the service quality itself.

    Picture quality is far better than anything I'm achieving on my Fetch service, and mobile streaming holds up fairly well even on a spotty train connection.

    Casting to my 2nd gen Chromecast does drop it to 720p (there's a quick notification to say it's doing it to maintain the streaming experience). I suspect it's because this Chromecast can do 60fps at 720p, where the new one can do it at 1080p.

    I'm not a huge sports guy, but for $25 for two streams I might keep it if it remains this consistent.

  • ozleb on 28/12/2018 - 13:44

    Watching the cricket, split screening the three test matches at the same time. Big delay between audio and video when three streams are going in HD (might be my internet since SD works okay), impressive app though I hope they rectify issues as it gets further developed. You can also stream the spider cam in parallel which is pretty cool!

  • Crys on 29/12/2018 - 15:01

    Seems good so far. Wish there was an Android TV app. When everyone here cancels their free trial and when they ask why you are cancelling, click on the "service isn't available on my device" and it will ask which device you would like them to make Kayo available for. If we all suggest Android TV we might be able to get them to fast-track it by popular demand :)

      The Android TV app was scheduled for release by the end of 2018, but has been pushed back to mid January 2019 AFAIK.

    Nice deal. Just watched Formula E opening race for 2019. Good stuff.

      It's not like NBA league pass, you still only get whatever games espn show.

    Did anyone else get charged $1? I was looking through my bank statements and I got a $1 charge from Kayo for signing up to the free trial.

    Edit:
    Despite not disclosing the $1 charge anywhere on the free trial or t&c page, within the help section of the site it reads:
    "Users will sometimes notice a small charge (e.g. $1) on their account or credit card statement during a free trial. This is just part of the pre-authorisation process to validate your card and the transaction is reversed usually within 14 days."

    • ESEMCE on 03/01/2019 - 11:07

      This is standard protocol for any of these services.
      They run an authorisation check to verify that your card is chargeable.

      • Crys on 03/01/2019 - 23:28

        I'm normally used to seeing the authorisation charge get reversed within a very short timeframe. It is unusual for it to still not be reversed. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and wait out their 14 days.

        • ESEMCE on 04/01/2019 - 14:11

          Agreed, possibly they're trying to save themselves a transaction, 14 days being the day that the standard trial period would bill for the coming paid month, they could just bill you for $24 instead of the full $25 for the first month and save themselves any costs associated with reversing the authorisation.
