Kayo vs. Foxtel

PyreneesPie · PyreneesPie Joined: 22 Aug 2014

another question which someone may be able to answer. I read on Foxsports that the Marsh Community series is being broadcast on Foxtel. I wonder if that means that Kayo would have it available too?

Is everything that available on 504 Foxtel automatically available on Kayo?

Many thanks to whoever may be able to answer these questions.

^Yes I believe so. Can't imagine that not being the case. They need filler on 504.

Yes, even if it isn't identified as an event, you can just stream the individual channels on Kayo - so you can select any of Beinsports 1, 2 and 3, espn and espn2 and Fox 501, 502, 503, 504, 505. 506, More+ and Fox Sports News and Racing.com. That said, I see from looking at Fox 504 that it shows a message saying that you can watch the game that's on that channel but due to rights restrictions you have to watch it in the "Today on Kayo" section, rather than on the channel. That's a message I have seen occasionally for some things but not for many.

I have foxtel... I only watch AFL, NBA... and that's about it. My hockey team is rarely on foxtel.

I think switching to Kayo makes sense.

Foxtel is $58 a month compared to.... $25 a month?

Kayo here - was on foxtel but like you; overpriced. Only downside to kayo is that
- you still have to pay for it
- you have to navigate past all the other sports I have no interest in, like NBA and so on.
bit wrong of AFL and our politicians for allowing this to happen. Bit of a put off on sport in general

Kayo is a poor mans Foxtel. Can’t pause, can’t record and no footy shows.

Foxtel for me is 39$ a month.

Kayo can be paused.

Whatever you get on Fox footy is available on Kayo.

You can pause rewind or choose to watch game from start or live if it has already started.

You can’t record but why would you need to when you have instant access to replays straight after the game.

The only draw back for me was you get the 7 feed with ads for Ch 7 games on Kayo but that was fixed if your prepared to install Kodi then the Kayo sports add on which comes with a TV guide as well and watch or cast from device that has Kodi. It’s also a lot easier to navigate around than the standard Kayo app.

I called to cancel my Foxtel. Had it for almost two years. Thats over a grand spent.

They tried making it difficult to cancel. I said all I really want is the sports, mainly AFL and that's it. They told me Kayo is just a streaming service, but I said they offer me what I want at a much better price.

Now I have Foxtel for $20 less a month. Still thats an extra $400 I've spent over the last two years that could have been saved.
