Robbo on NRL360 on Mon night (20 Mar)

[BigCok007]

I’m paying $48 for HD Foxtel with sport, I heard kayo is $30 for basic now. Still heard too many negatives from mates with it to swap for an extra $4 a week.

how are posters who have it on here finding it, regarding buffering,drop outs and freezing up?

through Telstra you can get deals that make it cheaper, paying $17 a mth. So works reasonably well. Just not as sharp as Foxtel. Occasionally will buffer.

he was also triggered that the media was focusing on the rivalry and hate. He should've worn his rainbow tracksuit. #loveislove

He could of borrowed the big dog of the Chookpen Kentys.

Paying $59 pm for Foxtel HD with entertainment and getting Disney+ free for a year, happy with it . I returned to Foxtel after being driven crazy by Kayo since last June.

Add to that the WWE Chanel is a real bonus, wrestling is always loved in our household .

I didn't see it that way, he was just asking for balance in the coverage. He admitted the hate is part of that and should be part of the coverage but not the entirety of the coverage which let's be real it was.

To his point of balance he said that for a lot of people such as younger supporters, families and in his example a wife and a husband who support 1 side each this game will mean something different to them. They're probably more interested in reading articles that celebrate the game a little bit more.

I remember the Roosters/Bulldogs rivalries in the 00's just how toxic the rhetoric around those games became and how personally as someone who would attend those games with a group of mates (mix of Roosters and Dogs fans) it just stopped becoming enjoyable as there was always a strange feeling that violence could spill out inside and outside of the stadium at any moment. It became a less about a rugby league game and more about off field point scoring and hate for one another.

I love the hype and I hate Souffs but I also want to enjoy the football, talk about JWH's performance, talk about Paulo's redemption arc, talk about the FOOTBALL contest between Graham and Suaalii but instead in that press conference there were some journos who just wanted to nit pick small events to try and drive more hate, more outrage, more click bait...

He is 100% right to challenge them to be better and to provide more balanced coverage.

I find the lexicon of the NRL to be shallow and of poor standard. More game analysis I say!

Primarily Foxtel user here. Tried a free trial of kayo on the night we played manly preseason.

It froze 3-4 times and crashed once during 1 and a half games of footy.

I'm not paying money for something that does not work.

Foxtel is 54 bucks a month and I only watch Rooster games on it but it delivers.

If it freezes or buffers it is likely your internet connection. And you need to be aware that if you are currently on Foxtel Cable, that medium will soon be handed over to NBN and you will be forced to stream Foxtel across the internet anyway. i.e. you may soon end up with same problem regardless of Foxtel or Kayo.

I have had both running at same time and the stream quality is identical at 1920x1080 @ 50fps. Kayo better for some things such as watching multiple sports at once via splitscreen (depending on device and internet bandwidth), never having to record, etc. Foxtel IQ works a bit nicer when fast forwarding or rewinding.

You get 2 connections with Kayo. If it is just for you then I recommend finding someone else who wants Kayo and splitting the bill.

I'm on NBN. Its wireless to the house unfortunately. Wired inside. I game a lot and stream it all on twitch and have no problems there. My foxtel dosen't shit itself like kayo. Hopefully you're wrong with your projections as I'd like my service to run better into the future rather than worse.

It could also be the device you are running Kayo on.

Nothing beats the uninterrupted quality of Foxtel IQ over Cable, but as I said:
The cable network in Australia is closing (foxtel.com.au)

Kayo was on PS5. I run Foxtel on my PS4 as they don't have an app for PS5.

Except when there’s a thunderstorm or heavy rain and your Foxtel satellite loses reception

Running through the NBN receiver on the roof this doesn't happen anymore. But you've jogged my memory on what it used to be like with the old Foxtel dish.

During a jog today a workmate was telling me that you can get a discount on Kayo if you have a Qantas Frequent Flyers account. He had another deal but I forget what it was (he's a really thrifty dude when it comes to such things - personally I prefer to protect my data and sign up for as few things as possible but meh).

Side note I watched Robbo's interview. Not bad but IMO quite a few parts only as good as the questions (e.g. do we intentionally train players to provoke Walker?) I feel as though Robbo has Buzz around his finger as he knows all his techniques and how to deal with them in a way that gets him the story he wants without saying anything.

Kayo was on PS5. I run Foxtel on my PS4 as they don't have an app for PS5.

Unfortunately they refuse to make a Dreamcast app.

Got basically the same deal & pretty happy with it (satellite dish) Interruptions hardly happen even with bad weather these days.

Probably keep away from Foxtel Now streaming across NBN as it's got constant bad reviews.

Would personally recommend replacing cable with a dish.
