    Would it not be nice to have one provider of a range of sports in this part of the world like they seem to have in Aus?
    About €15 per month!

    We have it - it's called Now Tv - only missing Eurosport as far as I can tell. More expensive.

    My understanding, although I am unsure, is that the Aus service can be viewed in a browser .... Now TV cannot, it needs its own app I believe.

    Of course price is a biggie as well as the range of sports covered.

    Technically and the options that it gives it's a great product.

    The pricing is considerably lower than the Sports package on Foxtel.

    You can watch it on a laptop, no problem

    Chrome, Safari, Firefox and Edge all work MacOS 10.12+ and Windows 10.

    I don't have either of those operating systems unfortunately.

    Good to see it works in those.

    You need those to use Kayo in browser form too

    As said Now TV and this are basically the same idea. Whereas NowTV pulls its sport from Sky, BT and Premier Sports, Kayo pulls its from Foxtel, ESPN (aus) and BeIn Sports (Aus)

    Some of the big rights missing from Kayo include the EPL, Champions League and World Cups in football and the Australian rugby union side too

    An old friend of mine works for one of the companies involved

    Don't know about Safari but I have Chrome, Firefox and Edge running on my Windows 7 laptop.

    One of the reasons why you can't get all sports from one provider is that the EU forced the like of the English Premiership to split their TV offerings into multple bundles. The objective being that more than one provider would get TV rights.

    The result was a bidding war which pushed up the costs for the TV providers, resulted in yet more wage inflation for the top players and meant that the pubs and punters now had to sign up for multiple providers.
