UPDATE: See this comment. Presto has changed the free months to 3 (instead of 6).

Telstra are giving T-Box customers 6 months of free Presto - but it's just a coupon code so can't see why it wouldn't work for everyone.

Make sure you access it through presto.com.au/telstra - fill in your details, confirm your email address, then choose the $14.99 a month plan and apply the coupon code in the box below it and it will give you 6 months 3 months of free Presto.

Presto has it's flaws, the catalogue is a bit average especially for TV - I think Netflix and Stan are better, but it's pretty great for free.

You've got until June 30 to take up the offer and you do need to provide credit card details - just make sure you cancel before the trial is up if you don't want to be charged.

Enjoy!

        The Foxtel Go app is coded to block HDMI out (MHL & Slimport). It will work if you cast the screen via the Chromecast app or native casting if your device supports it.

        • s4sep on 27/03/2015 - 13:56

          Not true, or at least, it worked for me about 2 weeks ago from my laptop to tv using micro HDMI to HDMI.

          I haven't tried from phone. If chromecast works then the harvey norman deal on here should get the job done without issue for $34.

        • lucjack on 27/03/2015 - 15:03

          @s4sep:

          Yeah laptops seem to work with HDMI out, but Vlado was asking about an Android phone and you suggested an MHL cable which from my experience won't work.

          With an Android phone or tablet using MHL or Slimport you'll get an error in the Foxtel Go app saying:

          "Sorry! Video playback is not available via an external display. Please remove your display connection to continue."

        • Vladdo on 27/03/2015 - 17:05

          Yeah.. I'm specifically after Foxtel Go on Android, as I already use it on my PC but the PC app has no Foxtel Footy (AFL).. it's only on the android app..

          Can't really find a definitive answer anywhere..

          @Vladdo:
          Screen casting GO to a Chromecast works for me on 3 different android devices so you should be OK.

          @lucjack: excellent.. thanks for that lucjack.. just bought a chromecast for $33 :)

  • dwhes on 26/03/2015 - 14:23

    Hmm think my smart DNS is messing with it. Try to stream a video and it says "sorry this is only available inside Australia". I'm using unotelly for US netflix and hulu etc.

    • bargaino on 26/03/2015 - 15:27

      I ran my own standard DNS server, and it was enough to break iView. Its stupid to rely on DNS for geolocation. Easy to defeat, and easy to get false results.

  • dwhes on 26/03/2015 - 14:25

    Also in regards to Presto itself. No idea why anyone would actually pay for this service over netflix or even Stan. The amount of content is tiny and te fact it is more expensive but doesn't even include HD streaming is a joke. Also the lack of console/star tv apps is a big fail, as with Stan.

    • SirFlibbled on 26/03/2015 - 15:26

      The reasons I'd consider subscribing - access to Australia foxtel produced shows (like Wentworth) and more recent movies.

      But that's really about it. I'm leaning towards Stan rather than Presto for my third service (after Netflix and Hulu)

        They both suck. Try iView for local content.

        • SirFlibbled on 26/03/2015 - 16:23

          Does iView have the Foxtel exclusive shows? I wasn't aware it did.

          Nor does iView have much of anything I would want to watch beyond what I do watch already (Good Game and Q&A).

      Right! Free is a great price lol, but I don't think I'd really use it.
      I would maybe get this if there as a WD TV or Google Chrome app but I don't want to watch it on my phone or Lappy.

  • Pobman on 26/03/2015 - 14:43

    Well some things refuse to even start, and those that do are so jerky I can't possibly watch them… that's on Bigpond Cable, that streams USA/UK Netflix without any issues so not sure what the problem is. Glad I am not paying for it!

    Hang on a minute - you've set up this account to get $90 of service that your not entitled to. In 6 months time when they sus it's a the fake credit card with the name Mickey Mouse set up with a Mailinator email account that no longer exists, it's pretty clear you never had any intention to pay. Couldn't Foxtel then could come after you for the money? They'd have a log of you IP address and see that you're not a Bigpond customer then ask your ISP for your details or get the cops too as isn't this the definition of fraud?

      Is it really any different to me registering a Spotify Premium account for $12 for 3 months over Christmas, paying by PayPal and then cancelling by asking PayPal to put a stop on the payment rather than cancelling with Spotify directly?

    • sheepdog on 27/03/2015 - 09:10

      Yeah, it seems according to their support pages, people have been asking for smart tv apps since day dot and they just keeping getting the same "accessibility is really important to us and its on our to-do list" sort of response. At this point, I can only watch it in a browser because of no app in my tv and no supported app on my phone.

      Speaking of apps, anyone else find it a bit silly that they don't restrict their android app to supported platforms/phone models through the play store rather than making you find out after running the damn thing that your device isn't supported?

        Let me rephrase that - does anyone have any actual email, communications, links to show that the code was supposed to offer 6 months? For those who dont have a T-Box it is still a bonus but for those who do then they are being cut short.

  • rolly2112 on 27/03/2015 - 18:22

    why ask that ?

    the 6 months offer still running - code has changed though - looks like they changed all non- tbox holders by some method from 6 to 3 illegally - presumably via address?

    • KnownSystemError on 27/03/2015 - 18:30

      I ask because I tried finding something to show that the TEL515 code was directly linked to the 6 month offer to then take a look at the Terms and Conditions. I can't find anything so I was asking the community here if anyone had. In regards to the 'illegally' changing non T-Box from 6 to 3 months I am not sure where your definition of illegally comes into play seeing that non T-Box customers were never supposed to receive this deal. If they have in fact picked upon the fact that people not eligible are receiving this deal and instead of canceling their membership have instead given 3 months then this is a goodwill offer by Presto/Telstra.

        • KnownSystemError on 27/03/2015 - 19:06
          +4

          Wow. If you want to get back to facts lets look at them. An offer was made to T-Box customers. Non T-Box customers found out about the code and attempted to gain from a promotion they were not eligible for. It appears (this is where it gets grey) that Telstra/Presto have found out about this and have reduced the offer, which non T-Box holders were not eligible for, down to 3 months.

          Your logic of "if I could do it then it should be ok" is severely flawed and does not fit any law imaginable. If you were legitimately eligible for this offer and they then took it away - I would be totally on your side. But the fact that you weren't and are now crying 'consumer rights' is amazing. You say that Presto broke the contract?? In fact, it is you that is not abiding by the terms of the offer. I do not understand where this right of entitlement comes from.

          It was an offer that many were not eligible for - there was an attempt to benefit from it - it did not completely work out. How are Telstra/Presto the bad guys in this? Grow up and act like an adult if you are in fact an adult. If not, go ask your parents to explain for you.

          @rolly2112: Calling people names? Not sure where that came from. The tone of your comments (on this post and others) suggests some severe conspiracy concerns rattling around in your head. Be sure to look out the front for the big black van before you go to bed tonight. In regards to the Terms and Conditions - yes, you are correct I dont have these so instead I am going back to the pure basics of the post as it was written "Telstra are giving T-Box customers 6 months of free Presto", this does give an indication that if you are not a T-Box customer the offer is not for you. I have presented a logical argument in this discussion, unfortunately I am still awaiting the same from you, apart from I got away with it so I should be able to have it. I really hope no-one ever manages to steal your car with that logic.
