+x+x+x+xI'm in. Used sister's number to register and it works with a VPN. Quality is HD with my laptop and internet speed. Goes to SD on occasional lag but no complaints at all. What a fantastic service. After having DAZN here, Australia now has its equivalent. Sorry I’m a bit late to this. I also have DAZN here in Japan for all the European football leagues but really want to watch the Cricket W Cup final stages using a vpn. Will there be a prob when registering for a free trial using an obviously non Aus based credit card? I realise I’ll have to also borrow my mate’s mobile no in Oz in order to receive a code. Any other observations on Kayo and its improvement in service over the last few months? Thanks You should check out www.foxsportsasia.com which has the live streaming rights for the cricket world cup for most of East Asia. I've been watching it in Korea for free. Should be the same in Japan. Cheers, I owe you one! It’s working now on the pc for WI vs Bangers (not on the ipad thoughj). Streaming quality is excellent. How do you plan to view the Ashes from Korea? PM me for streams more clandestine in provenance if you get desperate ;)

+xKayo working fine for the pre game. Can you watch it on your TV in Germany? Reading the Kayo website, it's available on Apple TV and will soon be available on Smart TVs. I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to get it onto the TV, when you're living abroad. From what I can deduce, that's gotta be a no because it's dependent on the the device being VPN-enabled (which surely just means computer, tablet, phone,etc., not Smart TV or Apple TV?). Edit. Airplay has just occurred to me. That might do the trick if you use a VPN and can watch on your iPhone/iPad. HDMI cables also for laptop... but that's a pain

Actually will be in England on holiday for a bit of the Ashes but it’s not even on free-to-air tv over there, bloody disgrace :-(

You can easily watch Kayo TV if you know about the right instructions and execute them properly. These commands vary from device to device. Like for Chrome you have to ensure that you have a well-matched Chromecast and are forming from a Chrome web browser. For the ideal streaming experience, Kayo suggests Chromecast Ultra and newest 3rd Generation, and Android TVs. In case of iOS 11+ Log in to Kayo on your iOS device and choose the feature or program you would like to watch. The time when you're in the game, you can choose the icon that is at the top right-hand side of your video player. After that press the device you need to cast to. You can go for https://whatismyip.network/get-kayo-sports-abroad/ to learn much more.

i'm currently o/s and have been watching all games on my laptop in europe (via my vpn). it has been flawless, loving every minute of it FYI for Kodi users out there you can watch it on your tv via this add-on, no more messing about with chromecast etc https://www.matthuisman.nz/2019/03/kayo-sports-kodi-add-on.html

Actually, they need to make an App for Amazon Fire etc. Optus Sport have one which gets around Chromecast and Kodi

Quality is just too variable for me. I use a Chromecast and a PC connected to a 65 inch TV. It matters little how I do it: casting, from inside chrome web browser, or Kodi and the Kayo add on, the quality varies anywhere from 1080i to 240p.

If anyone wants 3 months free trial, this worked for me, has a few steps but got there in the end. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/474189Even adds 3 free months to existing subscriptions, well it did for mine anyways.

OPSport app has been a PIA of late for me, on the mobile no worries all is fine. Have a late model Samsung smart tv that I have chromecast. Of late when going to watch a live game and touch the small screen on the mobile so as it loads on the tv it just doesn't action it grrrrrrrrrr I see my screen blinking to try but doesn't go through with the transfer. Giving me the you know what. Anyone got some tips please ? Once I get home what I'm going to do is double check the tv is connected to our wifi and load up OP on the tv, think that will give me no prob then onwards.

Hey fellas, I've started using Kayo in the last month and it has been brilliant. My big problem though is it's so data hungry. I'm thinking that's not a big problem for many of you guys but I'm on satellite internet at my place so have 70gb of peak data to play with each month. Here's some numbers.. I cast YouTube vids to our telly last night with my kids for over an hour and it used 710mb - quality mostly at 480p, sometimes more. Cast the Hilltop Hoods one night stand doco via iview the night before, didn't check quality but looked great and that used around 800mb (I think 720p is the standard on iview). Netflix seems to use about 1gb per hour at 720p. Why then does Kayo when set at 720p which is the lowest you can select chew through 2.3gb per hour? That's around 5gb to take in a whole match with the chitty chatty so a handful of matches very quickly eats a big chunk of that 70gb a month. One theory I had is that as it's live it eats more data but when I've watched pre recorded shows on Kayo it's generally the same data usage, sometimes slightly less. I watched a pre-recorded and filmed fox football podcast with Danny Vukovic the other night (great interview) fir the first 45 minutes and that chewed through 1.8gb. They're huge numbers. Does anyone have any insight here?

Higher bitrate for higher quality, I guess.

Does anyone have any insight here? video compression works by approximating pixel color changes between video frames. Sports is fast moving action so these differences happen more frequently and at more locations in each frame. This requires more memory per frame of video. I boot into Kodi running on a Windos 8.1 Pro PC and run Kayo as an app. It ask you what data rate you want before starting the stream. https://kodi.tv/download/849https://www.matthuisman.nz/2019/03/kayo-sports-kodi-add-on.htmlSet your PC display to 50 hz and its silky smooth.

Does anyone have any insight here? Netflix has superior compression and streaming services compared to every other steaming company. I have fast fibre internet and my Kayo will randomly stop sometimes during matches and need to be reset. Netflix always runs at 4k with no buffering or stopping.

Netflix color range always seem more limited to me, and the banding is more obvious. I *never* get buffering on Netflix, but my Kayo streams in 1080p are much better quality than Netflix 1080p- more colors, sharper, zero banding, but yeah I get he occasional buffering

I'm not seeing those settings you've suggested when using the app??? Yeah basically I'm having to be so tight with what I watch. I'd be very happy with viewing on far lesser quality sometimes. One test cricket match and one AU match eats the whole months supply. So would viewing on a computer (or chromecasting from one) give me more controllabilty Enzo? I'll follow those links you posted shortly. Cheers for all the responses guys.

If you watch it on kodi using the kayo app on a PC every time you start a show a list of bit rates ie quality comes up that you can select. Lower bitrate = lower quality= data used. Its a bit of mucking aruond to set it up but it works well when its done. AFAIK Chromecast or watching in a web browser won't let you choose the bit rate.

My guess it's a residual from when Fox had the rights to some of the EPL club channels. It seems to only be Arsenal games so I'm guessing they still have the rights to broadcast Arsenal TV.
