Just got a text from Kayo offering a $20/month discount for 12 months for Kayo Premium, making it $20/month instead of $40/month. For returning customers only.
Kayo Premium is 4K with 2 screens, so why not go halves with someone?

Not alone - Stan incl Sport is at least $32 and up to $42 a month
How does Stan get away with 42/month while optus sports was only $10/month?
Optus are good at making deals unlike their user data protection skills.
Bunch of flogs.
It is an insult to ask so much just for sport.
That's nothing: imagine that your overpriced Kayo subscription does not allow you to watch finals NRL/AFL while holidaying two weeks in NZ.
What a nut punch.
Also fox doesn't have rights to the nrl gf live, or to broadcast any games in 4k that are broadcast on FTA.
At that point you just go to a pub playing it
Does VPN work? M assuming everyone on OzB has a VPN connection right?
@jm010: VPN works easily for NBL, most countries without a broadcast deal have all NBL games live on youtube. I'm not sure about legit sources for other sports
@jm010: Depends on whether they've blocked the IP range of the VPN you're using. Test it first before traveling.
Smart DNS such as Getflix works for this and doesn't seem to get blocked in my experience.
@jm010: kayo detected my vpn, and i left it too late to plan around their bs.
I just went out to a pub instead. For the broncos I used some sketchy stream.
Either way I cancelled Kayo promptly.
just setup a VPN to your house, worked a treat while I was in NZ, wireguard to my Unifi network.
I got an email earlier this week thanking me for joining up to sport at $20/mth. I haven’t touched or looked at Stan for about 3 months. I was pissed that they added sport hoping I wouldn’t noticed. Cancel the entire subscription as a consequence. Nothing really on it anyway. And the sport is absolutely pathetic.
What now?
Pm?
neighbour?
yeah, paid $us23/yr on z2u. only 1080, but tv upscales
what ze (profanity) ?? is this how much this shit cost these days wowza
also do we have curse filter now on OzB ,what ze…
Has been there a good while.
also, if you type your ozbargain password in to a comment it automatically censors it with stars.
Mine is *************
(jk, don't fall for this)

jvisac**t
it works
Is someone able to post the code? It was working for me but then it timed out and now saying code not authorised. Thanks
Now the footy season over I have no need for it.
The timing of this deal is no coincidence
Yep, that (AFL & NRL) and the F1 are why I signed up. After I cancelled my subscription, I was offered $25 a month for Premium. I signed up for the F1. Go Piastri.
$40 a month for Kayo is daylight robbery.
only use for NRL and watch every game for $30 this year.
$180
So many free streaming apps and live sports one's on android tv and people still pay 👀
The AFL App on Android is a good alternative.
Pm me some options?
I use it for the F1 but never seem to get the vouchers anymore :(
F1 free practice, and qualifying are all free to watch on Kayo in the freebies section (available live and on replay) The main race is also free to watch in Kayo minis section (a 30 min highlight reel) and is available a few hours after the main race has been run and won. Sure it's not the full race, but it's better than nothing and its free
i use this and it comes to about $6 a month. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/904426. you need a vpn, i use nord from a cashback deal ages ago and it works great, even on tv its full quality f1tv. i just buy indian itunes gift cards through amazon india
Thanks for the post, reminded me that AFL season is over and to cancel :)
Put a reminder on your phone for next year, or hand in your OzBargain badge.
Definitely targeted. I just canceled last week and no go for me. I’ll sign back up in April unless a code like this comes up.
They must bleed subscribers over summer. If they kept it at a reasonable price I’m sure I’d find something to watch but at the price they’re asking they end up getting less from me each year.
Currently getting it for $15 a month for 5 months after 6 months at $20. Every time I go to cancel they drop the price!!!
Haha same. Happens almost every time I try to cancel although sometimes its only 1 or 2mth offers.
Lucky you. I just cancelled after chatting with them for offer but no success.
IPTV for the win (US$100 a year for two screens and has every movie, tv show and live channel under the sun).
Everything? So do they have F1, NRL, AFL, Australian cricket and V8 Supercars
Ok i definitely exaggerated but i don’t watch any of those. It does have plenty of live channels from around the world though including Australia. They’ll definitely show F1 somewhere unsure about Australian local sport but Stan and Optus are there (not kayo though i just checked)
You can always shop around and check the channels list before purchasing
I've used one called B1G IPTV that had the Fox Sports channels on it. Paid something like $12 AUD for 3 months.
Had plenty of other content like PPVs etc.
Everything? So do they have F1, NRL, AFL, Australian cricket and V8 Supercars
im not saying i have this service but yes to all of the above
Theres an app called RBTV77 and another one called Sportzxtv. Both on Android/Google TV..every sport event possible is covered, and in very decent quality. (Don't expect 4k HDR but hey it's free and 720/1080p is often achievable)
Foxsports, Kayo, Sky Sports NZ, SkySports UK, TNT Sports, Dazn Sports, Star Sports, Fox Soccer, ESPN, Rogers Sportsnet, Anything else.you want?
A nice house, some more money, a yearly overseas holiday, a couple of cars and free alcohol would be good. Thanks.
That seems expensive for IPTV. Also rd is better for movies and tv. They have the lowest quality garbage on those IPTV services
I tried a few cheaper ones in the past but this one just works! Flicking between 4k channels like im watching FTA.
It also has the latest movies in 4k as well as soccer games (for popular teams) uploaded within hours.
Well 4k is just the resolution. It doesn't determine bitrate or codec or how well it was compressed. I stream full bluray rips with rd. I don't think it would have that. If it does that's great but rd is only 30 for half a year.
@HaydosK: I also have RD but won’t renew. I only prefer IPTV for the live tv (mainly soccer) and the whole point is cutting down subscription costs.
@HaydosK: But you're comparing apples and oranges. RD is a no-go if you want to watch live TV. If you want both live and on-demand you have to go IPTV even if you know the on-demand stuff isn't on-par with RD.
Most people who care about quality will just end up with both, I guess.
@zfa: No I'm not saying it can do the same thing IPTV can do or play back any type of live stream. It's not made for that. I specifically stated for movies and tv. I'm just saying the movies included with those services look worse than even Netflix and you can easily stream bluray rips with rd which are incredibly high quality.
@HaydosK: You can't generalize to that extent. Plenty of Premium (paid) IPTV have their own on demand catalogue of HD and 4K like many plex shares. And plenty are not so good. Point is its highly variable. Stremio + RD and a quality IPTV service is just about the best combo. That said for anyone that is a die hard sports nut Kayo still have some thing's in 4K that are not reliably found in 4K on IPTV, so nabbing kayo on the cheap can still have its uses.
$us23/yr for b1g & $us22/yr Eagle4k, Me thinks you're paying too much.
Where are you getting those prices?! I just looked them up and they are both more than US$50 a year per subscription which i am currently paying
z2u or Alibaba (i used the former as I found the layer scammy).
there was a good sub in reddit, iptvgroupbuy discussing buying, but it got shutdown, weirdly the scammy subs were allowed to stay which resell at premium rates and anyone questioning gets instant bans
I can't find prices that good, care to PM?
i got them on z2u back in Feb.
Post footy season desperation
Not sure what is on it over summer except maybe the cricket? But most cricket can be watched free to air anyway. Save yourself another $20 a month and unsubscribe.
It's a terrible interface, plus often the streams are full of ads, all for a high high price.
It asks you what sports you are interested in the proceeds to keep pushing and promoting sports you have no interest on the front page making it difficult to sift through to find what you actually wanted to watch.
Yep that's annoying.
What's also annoying
1) dcma the apks so you can't download the app from elsewhere.
2) changing the video rendering so kodi no longer works.
3) removing 4k support for devices that worked and restricting it to only whitelisted approved devices.
4) moving kayo to hubbl and the cancel page not working properly, resulting in a support request to cancel. Having my expired card on file but still being able to charge my account.
5) the code system for promos meaning applying one code overwrites the other code. You have to time codes so you don't lose sub time.
6) not having rights to 4k NRL if the game is on FTA.
7) the live channel and or event being buggy/buffering, and having to switch to sometimes get a good experience.
4k used to be restricted to event as well and loading the channel only did 1080p.
$20 PM for an streaming service is a deal now?
I still get the $1/month deal :-)
Cheaper easy methods, search kayo on ozbargain, can verify $10 method, which I have active now, maybe only for iOS cos of email hiding stuff, maybe through this link, still worked after expired for me, good luck
That's an expired deal
Even $20 is too much for this objectively shitty service. $40 is absolutely egregious
MLB playoffs is happening right now. We got some great baseball the past few days….if only Australians care about baseball
I’d rather pay extra for MLB.tv and their superior app tbh
any one interested in sharing, I am in.
I think Kayo has lost so much value and the competition for subscription services has seem them lose so much content and have to over pay for so much content
I mean they scored a decent win with "Saturday AFL" only being on Kayo till round 15 but lets be frank most people are unsubing sooner as the AFL/NRL season closes regardless
They never should of let the A league go the competition gave people a reason to stay subscribed during the summer
It is a hard market now as subscription wars have heated up and 'live sport' is one of the few reasons for people to not sub on/off consently
but ill also play devils advocate it cost a 'shit load' to do almost anything these days i mean going to the cinema will set you back $60 for a movie popcorn and drink - i mean Disney Plus has been pumping out dog shit content for 3 years and people still pay for that and it can be easily pirated - in regards to live sport even if you got a 'good source' it can be difficult to get a 'good quality reliable stream' from a 3rd party provider
Discrectionary spending is getting more and more expensive in almost every aspect i mean the Iphone is essentially the 'same' phone for 4 years and they are charging over 2k for most models, then you got things like game pass hitting $36 a month!
I’ve currently got a $1 for one month offer. Haven’t accepted it yet. Only cancelled at the end of Sept after footy season.
No thanks, I'll happily keep navigating the high seas - arrrr! 🏴☠️
Arrrr crack open a rum for me!!! savvy!!!
Doh. I’ve already got a year through my football club.
I also find the Kayo app extremely buggy and crap, $40 a month is highway robbery.
I just logged in to say “ How is this a bargain?”.
Now that I get all the US sports via Disney+ which my toddler requires us to have, Kayo gets the ax post-footy
Kayo and streamotion so poorly executed on so many levels.
I went to watch a replay of an nbl game yesterday on my tv app, and when I selected game up came the banner with the final score written in big font at the top, and yes I had no spoilers selected.😡
I hope someone buys them that can actually provide a decent product.
Rant over.
I might consider resubscribing but I can't stand listening to Mark Howard. If he ever goes Kayo will get me back
Very hard to unsub, Random charges, bad service, overpriced. Hubble and kayo sux
I don't follow streaming services closely, but $40/mo is cray-cray!
