Streaming advice

[jbb/james]

I have had KAYO for a few years. We used to use a ROKU box but they were phased out. Got a couple of free fetch boxes but they dont support KAYO
Have a computer hooked up to the main TV so i have downloaded the app
We have a number of streaming platforms but the Kayo app is by far the least reliable even with good internet . it gets grainy when it pans out . Switch to netflix or similar…. Issue disappears
Happy to get another box, maybe a navidia or similar but curious to see what others use and the results

Got lots of tech advise in the house but they lack interest in this area

My tv has the kayo app available but runs poorly. I bought an amazon firestick and run kayo on that and works much better. My tv is a fairly new LG and seems some apps run okay like netflix but others like optus sport or paramount have a heap of buffering issues which is eliminated using the firestick

Big fan of the Apple TV, which runs Kayo really well and has the best UI of any streaming box I've ever tried. Will also handle Kayo in 4K, which is nice.

I also run Kayo on Apple TV and rarely (if ever) have any problems. Quality is at least HD. Not sure if it makes a difference but we do have super / really fast internet though.

Kayo app (or Chromecast from phone) on older tv. 6yrs old-
Ethernet cable to NBN router so no signal issues.
It can be poorer quality than Disney / Netflix etc lag loading. Picture quality.

I get the baseball MLB app and it's great.
People don't believe my tv isn't brand new when they see it

Thankyou to all. Excellent advice. I noticed my son just got a trial of apple tv for something else. Its now become his gift to his Dad . Do you believe my son just doesn't do footy.

Its an outrage but we are who we are

I do feel a lost opportunity but we gel otherways

Two of his earliest memories of footy include
Falling off the last step of the supporter bus at the titans and spending half the match with the medicals, maybe 4 yo
Going to brookie against the storm in the hey day and he was really intimidated by the hate of the crowd.

Lets be honest anywhere else but footy

He did have matt orford captivated very early on singing the songs and having a slur suitable for his age for all other teams on the goldy, different trip to the headbanger

Cowboys = soft
Storm = boo

I did try

If that doesn’t work let me know , I have an as new Amazon Firestick , bought for my caravans NON smart TV.

Pugged it in , worked like a charm.

Next short trip the TV lost its guts ( no it didn’t fart just fell apart ).

So I had to buy a new smart TV, meaning the “ used once “ Firestick is now redundant!!

Sweet info. I bet not just me will get some ideas from this

I think the apple tv trial is different to what some have advised being the apple tv box device. ( I could be wrong ).

Yeah , it took me a bit to put it together but thanks for clarifying.
