Viewing options

[hsv8fan]

G'day everyone.
I'm looking for opinions on the different viewing options.
Channel 7 is out of the equation.. obviously their coverage has been sub standard and #rap for years and 10 was no better when it had it for a while.
I was forced years ago to go the foxtel route to watch the V8's and openly say I resent it but do not regret it.
However with the exorbitant cost to have foxtel ( all the channels of rubbish that you have to pay for before getting the sport.
I am now considering the kayo plan. It is very attractive at worst half the foxtel cost and at best $50 less per month.
I understand for the money you can get access to Supercars and AFL live.
I understand the telecast is from the Fox broadcast?
Question. What happens if I miss it live ( I used to record the series on Fox)
How have you found it?
Cheers for the advice

Love Kayo, would never use anything else now for the sports that it shows.

If you miss the live coverage you can go back and watch the full day's coverage or just the replay of the race. You can skip back while watching the live coverage as well.

Cheers mate.

ditched Foxtel 10 yrs ago and went down Kayo path. It's great and you can watch it anywhere if you have smartphone, you can cancel for a,period of time and then resubscribe very easily.
I do this over the christmas break to save a few dollars when most major sports are in recess.

BUT

no Indycars, and other motorsport that is on other various other streaming platforms. not sure if they are on foxtel, but it is a major pi55 off

Cheers mate. Only really interested in Supercars and AFL. I like the idea of stopping it during the off season.

+1 for Kayo. I jumped on a deal when first introduced and am on $200 a year.
$16 a month (two screens) and I watch all Supercars, F1 amongst some football and cricket. I think it's $25 a month now.

Easy to cast to a screen, otherwise most smart TV's have an app, basically how you'd use foxtel.

KAYO is currently $17.50 per month for 12 months through the Telstra rewards app (must be a Telstra customer) which is a good deal for me as I watch Supercars, F1, NASCAR, AFL and cricket plus other bits and pieces.

Thanks mate. Saying 25 for 1 screen and 30 for 2 currently. Saw the app on the tv already. just need to log in

Thanks mate. That may be the way to go. I,m already with telstra for my nbn and fox. Have to ring them to cancel that anyway so may as well ask the question while I have the.

I wish we had Kayo in New Zealand. Seems like the best option for sure.

No deals with telstra but thats ok.
We'll see how we go.
Cheers

Check out sky sport now if you haven't already. I've used that for 2 years.
More expensive than Kayo but more sports on it by the looks. Cheaper than a full Sky subscription.
I use a month to month subscription. Canceled it the day after the adelaide round last year. Will start again on practice day of round 2. (Didn't plan a holiday very well & will be in adelaide for round 1!)
If you start watching a session late, you can still watch it from the start or skip to live coverage. Also has split screen capability if using a PC.  I cast from mobile to TV or sometimes just watch on mobile at work. Including indy cars.

Thanks djr. Will certainly consider it this year, thought you had to have full Sky then pay extra for sport package.

I have noticed Supercars have increased their YouTube content (highlights) but still for those that have limited time, the highlights are not too bad and what I have been watching recently.
