    great stuff thanks for the post

    • Smarty-pants on 07/07/2013 - 20:58

      The free movie channels don't seem to work on Foxtel Go. Is everyone experiencing this?

      • Gidget on 07/07/2013 - 21:53

        Correct. Not on iPad for whatever reason.

  • Moots on 04/07/2013 - 14:12

    Excellent, I am on the 6 Month EOFYS offer. Total for 6 months including installation(waved) and equipment for most channels except movies and sport for $260.00(total) which I paid upfront; so now I get the movies too. Excellent; thanks!

    • mangew on 04/07/2013 - 14:39

      How did u get installation & equipment waived? Did you get "entertainment lovers"?
      I signed up for the EOFYS deal but it was for 3 months free access for a 6 month contract.
      Still paid for equipment & installation.

      • Moots on 04/07/2013 - 14:57

        I just asked the lady; she waved the Installation but I had to pay the equipment.

        • mangew on 04/07/2013 - 15:01

          I just checked my papers. Had installation waived too (but had exisiting connection - previous owners). What package did you get? Entertainment lovers?

        • [Deactivated] on 04/07/2013 - 22:47

          @Moots: I think you mean waived :)

        • mangew on 04/07/2013 - 15:03

          Is there a HDMI connector on the STD unit? (I've yet to check)
          Or did you use a converter cable/box?
          p.s not sure why someone negged you. Given you a +ve :)

        • Binchicken22 on 04/07/2013 - 15:59

          Lol no, it doesn't quite work like that… your still getting an SD signal, just through the hdmi cable.

        • PleasureMe on 04/07/2013 - 21:43

          He's being negged because what he wrote is totally wrong.

    • Moots on 04/07/2013 - 14:58

      I highly suggest you get your Foxtel GO account setup; I have it on my iPad streaming from my hotspot (Galaxy S3) with Kogan. Works great; hardly ever lags and is in HD.

      Great for being at a friends house, or studying.

      • mangew on 04/07/2013 - 15:07

        Problem is I do not have an iPad.

      • jv on 04/07/2013 - 17:28

        Doesn't work on my iPhone… :(

      • Joey4 on 04/07/2013 - 19:14

        Works on both my iPhone and iPad, can mirror to a TV with an apple TV too.

        • bradtheresa on 05/07/2013 - 09:18

          How do you get it to mirror? I've tried, and it only mirrors the sound from the app & no picture.

        • dan76n on 06/07/2013 - 12:07

          You can't mirror with foxtel go. If you JB your ipad I think there is a way to mirror ipad while foxtel go is running. I'm going to try this next JB that is released.

      • [Deactivated] on 17/07/2013 - 22:58

        HD video streaming from your mobile connection!? dude your data would be dead pretty damn quick! (Just checked and Kogan mobile gives 6GB per month at max 400MB per day)

      Thanks, I've updated the link

  • bigt on 04/07/2013 - 14:34

    Is it automatically applied? I just can't see any details on that webpage.

    Never mind saw the link above :)

      i've only been with them for 11 years, maybe i don't qualify? lol

    • DVDGuy on 06/07/2013 - 23:19

      Other than live sports, I think I've maybe watched an hour of Foxtel since I got a Netflix subscription about a month ago!

  • mikokik5 on 04/07/2013 - 16:19

    plus from me!!!

  • neophytte on 04/07/2013 - 16:35

    I just ditched Foxtel after 10+ years as we rarely watch it these days, it's always repeats and re-runs. I probably would have stuck on for one more month if I saw this deal before …

    Cheers anyhow!

    • FXx on 04/07/2013 - 19:52

      Two words… Live sport. Without it they wouldn't sell Foxtel to anyone.

    • juzz0 on 05/07/2013 - 09:59

      I'm with you in spirit. I feel like ditching it. I subscribed to the full sports package with one extra room (standard digital) for $120 a month (a bargain apparently - even though I don't have movies I have IQHD). I can't remember the last time I watched live sport…

  • paulsmithy on 04/07/2013 - 16:52

    Anyone know from when they have done this before - can we record loads of movies to iQ and watch them still after this promotion? Or do they self destruct like the Box Office movies?

    • DVDGuy on 04/07/2013 - 17:01
      +3

      The recorded movies should still work after the free period is over - I still have a few unwatched ones from the last promotion!

      • paulsmithy on 04/07/2013 - 17:37

        Thanks for that. So…. stock up is the way to go then…

      • [Deactivated] on 04/07/2013 - 20:45

        Good to know, thanks heaps.

        • hollytaylor on 05/07/2013 - 10:30

          didn't work for me last time around :S

  • banzini on 04/07/2013 - 17:07

    Movies should be part of the base package in some format, even if it's just one channel.

    • reece86 on 07/07/2013 - 12:18

      I agree

    • nubzy on 07/07/2013 - 15:48

      And they should not be playing tv shows like SOA and game of thrones on channeld in the movie package

  • jv on 04/07/2013 - 17:29

    Does this include Foxfooty? There's been a lot of drama on there lately.

  • crazycat on 04/07/2013 - 18:25

    this is also for austar customers

    has anyone got it on yet, its not working yet here.

    • monicaaar on 04/07/2013 - 23:30

      It starts on the the 7th of July…

  • raynewbs on 04/07/2013 - 20:43

    lol what a idiot i am i looked at my watch back to front.

  • Jayphen on 04/07/2013 - 21:17

    I'm currently on their $10 'FTA-only' plan; I wonder if I'll get this?

    I think my plan is only available if you ring up and try to cancel your account. I don't watch Foxtel much during the off-season of the EPL/A-League, so I bump down to the $10 plan until it starts up again.

    • mangew on 05/07/2013 - 10:54

      What is FTA-only stand for? What does it include?

      • Jayphen on 05/07/2013 - 20:39
        +1

        Free to air!

        • mangew on 05/07/2013 - 21:01

          Thanks, makes sense now.

  • [Deactivated] on 05/07/2013 - 12:49

    NOT FOR XBOX FOXTEL?

  • Marrk on 05/07/2013 - 18:15
    -3

    I don't have the channels.. perhaps because I cancelled the movie channels effective the 1st of this month? I didn't get the email, so perhaps this is not for all Foxtel customers, just those who haven't taken up the new package yet..

    • Jayphen on 05/07/2013 - 22:45

      "From July 7"

      • Marrk on 06/07/2013 - 12:06

        Yeah, my mistake. After installing Windows 8.1 I have the U.S. date format, and I got the 7 confused as the day when it is really the month..

  • dan76n on 06/07/2013 - 12:05

    So will this work with foxtel go?

      I don't know why I got negged for asking this?
      Anyway, its not working on my ipad this morning.

      • alphaomega on 10/07/2013 - 22:27

        It's not working on my iPad either. Any news? (I gave you 2 + btw. Dunno why people would neg a genuine question.)

  • [Deactivated] on 07/07/2013 - 10:36

    Not working for foxtel on xbox 360. Not that I expected anything less than this from them, oh well.

  • Reveen on 07/07/2013 - 11:12

    Only the SD channels are viewable?

  • toffee on 07/07/2013 - 11:24

    I switched from Sports to Movies on July 5 while the EPL season is off. So if I'd done nothing I would have had both through July?

    This only works with movie channels, hearing complaints that the HD channels are not working for myself included!! Bit disappointed foxtel

      Same yay! I watched a movie the other night for the first time in ages. It was Hysteria and I quite enjoyed it.

  • tarawa on 07/07/2013 - 20:47

    It seems to also work on my Optus featuring FOXTEL digital service

  • churchado on 08/07/2013 - 09:52

    I wrote an email re no HD movie channels and they replied that it was now fixed which it was. Not sure if they fixed everyone at once but only those who complained.
