Thanks Burgo, that is incredibly detailed.

I have foxtel, but no box so I wonder if I can access through there.
I tried through the espn app during the season, but the stream would never load for me.

It was my first season following the league so I got behind the Kraken. Understandably by mid season I gave up a bit on trying to access the streams as they decided to stop winning games.

I'll jump back on now and give it a whirl.

So I can definitely connect through fox, were you able to view all of Ottawa's games through ESPN then?

 

[Proud Shark]

Yep - though not watching may have been a more pleasant experience. Every game all year is available.

The App interface is also a bit hard to get used to. You can't just say "show me the hockey schedule". You have to click "watch" then "see all", and then manually find the game in the list. They also don't identify whether it is a home or away broadcast, and don't always give you the button to switch between them. I find if I get the wrong one the only reliable way to switch between them is to kill the app completely, repeat the process, and click on the other game.

Yeah it's a shitty app. I noticed there was no way to turn off/hide score updates either which was very frustrating when watching on delay. I appreciate the info.

I had the NHL streaming service (NHL TV) for several years. It was about $180/year and it was awesome. Prior to the 2021-22 season the NHL sold the streaming rights for Australia to ESPN, and made their own direct service unavailable to Australian customers. I could have used a VPN, but it makes it painful to move between different devices/TVs in my house.

You can ususally set up the VPN via your modem/router so it covers every device conected to the internet in your house. Might be worth looking into for your situation

Ours died recently. I just hooked up a portable hard drive to the tv, does the same thing.

Out tv does not have that functionality afaik.

Amazon fire sticks are pretty good and just plug into a hdmi port.

Do they save programs and/or pause live tv?

Of you're watching the live program through 9now or foxtel etc than you can pause sure.

Pretty sure you can add things onto watch list for easy access.

This question may have been answered on here before but does anyone know why Kayo is called Kayo?

Is it supposed to stand for KO, as in knock out?

Interesting question - is this to win a bet / argument?

Nah. I don't have the Kayo emblem on my desktop so every time I go to watch footy I've got to remember the word Kayo. For some reason it's not a word that sticks in my head so sometimes I've got to try and remember it. Probably early onset dementia.

Create a desktop shortcut ?

Yeah I know, that'd be the logical thing to do.

But at the same time, surely they could call themselves something like "Sports Channel" or another weird name that makes you think of sports. Rather than a word that may be some way connected to sport when you apply quantum psychics to abstract art.

Always thought Stan was a weird name for a streaming service

I thought it was named after Stan Grant?

If you created your short cut, you could call it “Everything Sports” Channel!

Zemanek maybe

Might give that one a go
