Quick question re: Kayo, Foxtel, Live Pass or Channel 9 - please help?

  • We had an issue with background services between march 10th and 15th or there about. This meant the payment services were not linking to automatic upgrades. If you paid for premium membership and are still seeing ads please let me know and the email you used against PayPal and I cam manually verify and upgrade your account.
  • We have been getting regular requests for users who have been locked out of their accounts because they have changed email adresses over the lifetime of their accounts. Please make sure the email address under your account is your current and correct email address in order to avoid this in the future. You can set your email address at https://silvertails.net/account/account-details
  • Wwe are currently experience some server issues which I am working through and hoping to resolve soon, Please bare with me whilst I work through making some changes and possible intermittent outages.
  • Apologies all our server was runing rogue. I managed to get us back to a point from 2:45 today though there is an attachment issue i will fix shortly. Things should be smooth now though

Morning all - I signed up for Kayo yesterday not realising that you need an App to watch it. None of our TVs have the app. We have updated the firmware. I don't want to be casting every time I want to watch sport. Is there another way to use Kayo on a TV without the App or should I just cancel the service?
Cheers

I am not sure as I don't have one, but can a chromecast or appleTV (dongle) work? Don't they turn your TV into a smart TV of sorts?

They are smart TVs but they dont have the App installed. Someone please correct me otherwise but I don't believe that you can just install the App. I think it is up to the tv manufacturer????

You will probably have to get Apple TV , but make sure you get the latest one as it allows you to download apps from their store, or perhaps Chromecast+Google TV, which will be cheaper, however not sure if you can download new apps .

Yes, it's up to the manufacturer as to whether the App is available, and as Kayo is relatively new it may only be available on the latest models, or perhaps after a software upgrade.

Mate I had the same problem when I canned Fox. Just went out and got the google chrome cast and it works fine. It’s a bit of a hassle initially but you get use to it. Another option could be to use your internet search on the TV and watch it through the Kayo website. We watch on the laptop Through the website. Never thought to try it on the TV tho.

Kayo is only installed on a few brands of tvs. We were looking at new TVs recently and came across this.

Chromecast is probably the cheapest option. If you have a device that runs Kodi (runs great on an Xbox, for example), there's an excellent Kayo plugin for that.

There is no A.I. Just better computers
Chromecasting it from my phone or tablet worked seamlessly, just need to be on same wifi.
