While Telstra TV comes with many popular streaming apps pre-installed, for Kayo you’ll need to download the app – but don’t worry, it’s easy. From the Telstra TV main menu, navigate to “App Store” and select it. You can either browse through the store for the Kayo app (look for the green “K” logo) or search for “Kayo”. Then simply select it and choose “Download” and the Kayo app will be added to your Apps screen.

When you get Kayo added to your Telstra account, the monthly subscription will be charged to you by Telstra – but to cancel your subscription, you need to do so directly through Kayo. It’s simple to do – just load up Kayo in your web browser, and click on the menu icon at the top right. Click on “My Account”, then scroll down to the bottom of that menu, where you’ll find a link titled “Cancel Subscription”. Click that, follow the prompts and your subscription is cancelled, effective at the end of the current paid month. You can still use Kayo as normal until then.

No – your usage of Kayo does count against your data limits on both Telstra Broadband and Telstra Mobile. However, with unlimited-data plans now being the default on Telstra Broadband, you can stream as much as you like without worries about data usage. And with no excess data charges on current Telstra Mobile plans, even if you use up your monthly data, you’ll still be able to connect at lower speeds without paying extra.

Because it’s designed as a sport-focused streaming service that lets you watch sports live, delayed or on demand, Kayo generally doesn’t use the concept of “channels”. However, if you scroll down in the app or web site to the very bottom of the page, you’ll find links to 15 live channels from Fox Sports, beIN Sports, ESPN and Sky News.

Kayo Sports is operated by a company named Streammotion, which is a division of the Foxtel group of companies. Because of this connection, Kayo customers have access to Foxtel’s unrivalled global sports coverage.

While apps for various major smart TV brands are on the way, for now, the best way to watch Kayo on your big-screen TV is to use a dedicated streaming device like Apple TV, Telstra TV or the Foxtel Now box. Alternatively, you can use Google Chromecast, but only the current models (3rd-generation and Ultra) are fully supported.

Because it streams live sports in 1080p high definition at 50 frames per second, Kayo uses a bit more data per hour than regular streaming services – something to keep in mind if you’re on a broadband plan with a download limit. Kayo’s data usage varies because of its live nature, but you can expect to use around 3.5 GB per hour in HD, with some of Kayo’s special features – like Split View – using a bit more due to multiple streams.

You can sign up to Kayo for $25 per month for the Basic plan, which gives you full access to everything on Kayo on up to two devices at once. You can also opt for the Premium plan, which raises the device limit to 3.

While they’re not here yet, apps for both popular game consoles are under development and are expected to be released in the relatively near future.

The more appropriate question would be what sports aren’t on Kayo – there’s over 50 sports to dive into across a huge range of codes and countries, with the Kayo interface customisable so you only see the sports you want to watch.
