Foxtel - how atrocious has it become year after year?

[Bomberboyokay]

netflix is good

Netflix doesn't do sport. Which is surely what most Foxtel subscribers have it for. It's good for local sport but is strikingly thin on American sports.

If there's one that shits me more than anything else with Foxtel, it's the way they put an ad on after shows (especially premo Showcase ones) but before the credits. It's like the dumb ****s either don't know or simply don't care that often times the shows are designed to let what just happened sink in as the song that played over the final moments of the episode continues over the credits. Ruined the end of Sharp Objects for me a bit as the story actually continued in the credits but I didn't know because I'd stopped and deleted it when the ad came on.

I nearly did the same ,then just caught a little bit, replayed it and bingo, I think I know "who done it" Next season I'm awaiting!

Doubts over a Season 2

Doubts over a Season 2

Just read something about it, it looks like its over.

You don't have to pay for the movie channels.

Hows that?

Just got the $3 a month price price letter. How does that work when I signed up to a $39 12 month deal? Have they written in the T&Cs somewhere that they can change the price at anytime?

Got my lucky letter yesterday.

The worst thing about the increase is it is to the package no one wants:

From 1 October 2018, some of our prices are changing:

• Our base packs (Entertainment and Essentials*) will increase by $3 a month

I took up the 12 month $39 Sports HD pack. Does anyone know if this is affected? I would not have agreed to this offer had I known the price was being jacked up and just stayed on the 3 month rolling $36 I was paying.

They're an add on to basic.

Gotta pay for their 4K

I was thinking the same thing?

Do you have an answer for this yet? I assumed it was a fix price for the first 12 months

I'd also like to know. Not that it really matters, now that Port are out I'll probably give them a call before my next bill is due and get it put on hold until pre season starts.

“Foxtel Go” is back on the new update, and it has brought HD with it. And if you have multiroom accounts, you can now airplay or Chromecast to a TV.

So should I redownload the Go App?

On iOS or Android it’s been updated and worth it. PC and Laptop in the next week or three...

 

[peternorth]

just received $3 inc letter.

 

[Gasometer]

$3 is a ploy to say its less than a Coffee....again

 

[GreyCrow]

$3 is a ploy to say its less than a Coffee....again

That came up in their advertising ' over a year thats less than a cup of coffee per day'' . Unless this is the ad you are talking about

*poor quality, recorded off tv

 

[mr bagcroft]

Without sports, its total garbage.
If they lose live football, it will fold the next day.
I was seriously thinking of cancelling before this increase, guess its a easy decision now.

 

[Glebehawk]

Apparently releasing sport option via streaming next year...so you’ll get sport channels without having to include basic.

 

[Red mist]

Had fox for quite a few yrs. prefer it to free to air. Plus with streaming services I switch between those.
Just got rid of Foxtel box as well and stream Foxtel go. Netflix, prime and fox end up being around 65 a month.

 

[Bugz]

This has probably been covered previously, but the Foxtel Now app is diabolically awful. It works correctly once out of every three attempts, at best.

 

[Father Jack]

I was looking forward to their cricket coverage, but that woeful ad they've been playing has me a bit worried

yeah its like your utility
you sign up for a contract that they can alter at any time to charge you more if they feel like it

Not sure if were talking the same thing, but I cant get foxtel GO to work on windows 10, after it was all fine on windows 7. Cant find a fix that works either. **** you Foxtel, I pay you a shit load every month I expect shit to work.
