Being marketed as the 'Netflix of sports' it's essentially a streaming service for all the sports available on Foxtel.

Heard some good reports on it, wondering if anyone here has signed up for it yet? $25/month seems quite reasonable to me when compared to products like NFL Network that only carry 1 sport.

Thinking of signing up for it so interested in any feedback.

I'm currently on the 2 week trial, I think if your a sports fan in general it's a great thing. It gives live broadcast but also the option to watch replays not only of the sport itself but also any of the analysis shows and a back catalog of shows such as ESPNs 30 for 30. You can also watch any broadcast currently live from the start or jump in at any point if you wish, so if you go to the toilet or whatever and something happens you can go back and watch.

A negative for me is the current lack of PS4 support, so unless I purchase one of the already supported platforms like Telstra TV or purchase a new TV (neither of which I will do just for Kayo sports) I am stuck watching on my mobile phone.

I did try watching on the PS4 browser via the kayo sports app but it didn't work well, I've also got the option of hooking a laptop up to the TV but I don't really want to do that either.

For me the soft launch and lack of support for all platforms is the biggest negative, also a lot of the sports I really couldn't care about so I'll probably cancel after the free trial ends however if there is PS4 support come football season I'll probably subscribe again.

Cheers.

It only came to my attention when I tried to watch cricket from the Cricket Australia app.

I'd reccomend giving the 2 week trial a go djebel, that'll tell you if its worthwhile for yourself.
