KAYO

[cookie2]

So a little update for those interested.

NBN is sorted. Speeds are not great, but thats because its fttn. Still its an improvement on what i had, and its $5 cheaper a month.

Fetch TV has arrived and seems to do everything the foxtel IQ box does, plus can control the TV. 30 free movies to watch, on a rolling rotation, so you lose a movie a day, and get a new movie every day. Available for $1 a month, unlimited viewing. You can watch netflix and stan through that if you have a subscription.

Kayo sports works well with the NBN. I had a split screen with 4 channels streaming at once, HDMI'd to my TV and was in heaven.

Unfortunately, Kayo sports cannot be used on fetch, and thus, cannot record channels.

Looking for a workaround on that and open for ideas.

Interesting K, thanks for the update.

You've ended up with a similar set up to me but with different kit. I have a Telstra TV (Roku Android) with all the apps such as Kayo, Netflix, SBS OnDemand etc etc plus a  Humax PVR through which I can watch and record (using ICEtv)  live tv (you can watch live tv on the Telstra TV but not record it). The Humax has some apps but I think they are gradually being phased out. All of this is connected in to my LED TV and soundbar. Works very well and I don't have any streaming issues (NBN not yet available and still on the old Telstra cable service}. I also have an old Apple TV which works but is hardly ever used these days. I haven't had time to explore the joys of Kayo yet but I'm looking forward to giving it a good workout in the JLT series.

I'd be surprised if there would be a way of recording from Kayo but if you find it I'd like to know. Maybe via some sort of output from the tv set?
