  I have been using presto for a couple of weeks now and I am relatively happy with the content, I wish they would update with more titles a bit more often, but other than that I can't complain.
  
  BTW, I got 6 months for free, I can't remember the coupon code though.
  
  EDIT: I am using this on my T-BOX

    Actually there's no pricing, no mention of HD content, nor much of anything in the way of details at this stage. All they have is an agreement to sort something out in the coming months.

    It seems highly unlikely that as an affiliate they'll be allowed to undersell Presto, but it all remains to be seen.
- mini_wombat on 21/05/2015 - 20:06
  
  Presto and Quickflix might merge - at least they will work together and Quickflix will resell Presto content (Source: http://www.theaustralian.com.au/business/media/quickflix-str…)
  
  But I agree - the quality on Presto is not great at the moment and not many devices supported. For free … mhhh … can't complain.
  - Linkwick on 21/05/2015 - 21:08
    
    Presto/Quickflix merge won't happen (or not without a lot of bloodshed).
    StreamCo (part-owners of Stan) took over one of Quickflix's debt tools as well as preference shares(8% stake) last year. They get a $10.5m payout if there's a change of ownership, on tiop of any shares settlement.
    Currently Quickflix has a market capitalisation of just over $5m, so a prohibitive lockout.

  A friend of mine signed up for Presto. Some of the reasons he cancelled his subscription were:
  
  No HD. He contacted them and asked when HD was going to become available. They currently have no plans to move to HD.
  
  Locking to 3 devices. Locked… Not like Netflix where no more than X simultaneously, locked! And on top of that, addon devices like Chromecasts count as well. So Tablet 1, Phone 2, Chromecast 3. Only way to remove a device is to contact their support.
  
  EDIT: Just signed up with the 6 month code. It forces me to set a parental code and wont' let me allow R rated content by default. I understand defaults but at least give me the option to remove parental controls. How do they expect to make money when they can't even satisfy non-paying users?
  - kfuerza on 22/05/2015 - 13:19
    
    I thought this too.
    
    What it ACTUALLY means is that you can't watch ANY R content without putting in your pin.
    You can't clear the R rating but you can watch any R movies.
    
    I guess it's a safety feature for those (like me) who have chirrens.
    
    What I don't like on presto (other than SD content) is that I can't set up multiple profiles for the family like I can on Stan.
    
    So that means for my family I set the rating lock at PG which means when you watch anything above 'G' you have to put in your 4 digit pin. A minor inconvenience but…considering I'm getting the content for free for the next 6 months…meh.
- MrBlank on 21/05/2015 - 22:45
  
  I had two months of presto for free but closed my account before the first month was up as I watched all that was worth watching which wasn't much.

  Not only is it rubbish quality but it's not supported on my XBOX360, PS3 or PS4. You have to watch it in a flash player browser.

If you're planning to use it on an Android device, be aware there's an ongoing bug where you get sound but no video through chromecast. There are other problems as well, the app simply won't run on some devices, movies cut out halfway through, the list goes on.

Also there are bad problems with lipsync (on any platform) and all the content is SD. The catalogue of shows isn't exactly stellar either.

  - COR80 on 21/05/2015 - 19:42
    
    How lazy is that. Even if dialogue is out of sync by just a bit it becomes way too distracting/irritating to watch.
- ShadowStealer7 on 22/05/2015 - 17:17
  
  They also block you from using it if your device is rooted, like the Foxtel Go app.
  
  Nothing but rubbish, as usual from Foxtel

I'll give it a crack but I seriously doubt it'll be worth my money when the trial expires as I already have US netflix. But free is free.

BargainLuver on 21/05/2015 - 20:41

Can anyone tell me if I can sign up with the code (and compulsorily enter CC details) then cancel (in order to ensure charges are avoided after free months expire) but still continue to use the service for the remaining months?
- AshFon on 21/05/2015 - 23:32
  
  +1
  
  No, You open your account with CC details then you cannot remove your CC details. You have to cancel the subscription before it expires. Once you cancel it - you cannot watch it anymore.
- kfuerza on 22/05/2015 - 13:22
  
  Set a calendar reminder on your phone to cancel your subscription 1 day before the expiration date.
  
  That's what I did for my Stan trial.

  I think Stan or Presto (if Presto was useful) would be a viable addition to Netflix. They do have shows not available on it like Foxtel's original content.
  
  But I wouldn't get them in place of Netflix.
RegChipznGravy on 21/05/2015 - 23:09

Best thing about Presto is they have the X-Files….other than that, it's a bit of a piece of poo.
- Polde on 21/05/2015 - 23:21
  
  Netflix actually has it although that's only possible once you switch to the U.S library, not sure with Presto but it was recently upgraded to 16:9 HD version.
  - betheball on 22/05/2015 - 07:07
    
    How do you switch to us… Is that a separate account to your Aus one?
    - Trickey on 22/05/2015 - 10:26
      
      DNS switching services or use a full function VPN. I trialled Getflix and it was great but the Australian library is satisfying enough for now.
      
      By the time I get through the Australian content, Netflix content will probably be universal across all regions and there'll be no need for these sevices.
    - SirFlibbled on 22/05/2015 - 11:55
      
      @Trickey: SmartDNS services do more than just Netflix though. It's great for accessing Hulu and Vudu and for international sports channels like NBA, EPL etc.
    - Polde on 22/05/2015 - 22:41
      
      No need to make a U.S account, Aus is fine(and Netflix don't mind either it seems).
      
      I was using UnoTelly until the trial expired, but have recently come across a website that displays U.S DNS servers.
      
      It's as easy as inputting the addresses into whatever your watching Netflix off(Works well with WDTV Live), and it's free which is good. In saying that based on my understanding I would only use it for devices for Netflix, instead of laptop/PC's if you want to play it safe given it's free.

Netflix kills them all. Besides that just activate your $1 Telstra SIM from the other deal and you get 3 months anyway with presto if you really wish
Mahalo on 22/05/2015 - 09:55

I have Netflix, Stan, Presto, Fetch TV and have not used Stan in over a month. I had the free 6 months Presto trial and never used it. I had to cancel this subscription a week ago because I didn't want to forget about it and be charged for the first month.
Unless stan or Presto lower the prices or do something amazing these stream services will be cancelled after their trial expires I think.

  Depends on the TV and the availability of the app.

I'm not usually big believer in conspiracy theories but I honestly believe that Stan and Presto are deliberately set up to fail, so Foxtel and their dinosaur cronies can have a cry and blame their failure on Australians being habitual pirates.

Several fact lead me to this conclusion:
No HD content, not even an option to turn on HD if your connection supports it.
Limited to 2.0 sound (seriously?)
Very limited devices (no consoles? WTF)
Even SD quality is horrible
Tech Support is non existent, Centrelink levels of incompetent

I've tried Quickflix, Stan and Presto, all suffered the same issues, I cancelled each within days, Netflix and Hulu Plus are the only services worth a cracker.

As a side note, local versions of pay to own movie streaming services are equally as shit, I've tried both JB and Ezyflix, their limited clients (again, no console clients) made it impossible for me to compare them adequately to Vudu, which has a better range, better prices and better deals. Australians getting the raw prawn again and again, and they wonder why we all pirate - ironically I am fully legit, but not a centt goes to Aus based services.

Ok, rant over.
- SirFlibbled on 23/05/2015 - 09:48
  
  You could always buy a chromecast. That's what I did. Ezyflix is pretty much just the AU equiv of Vudu now.

Aneurism on 23/05/2015 - 14:12

I don't even want this for free.
pufffdragon on 23/05/2015 - 19:29

Presto is not the best. The app and the quality is not that great and definitely needs work. But some of the content is actually pretty good.

I don't know why people think Stan is that bad. I thought is was virtually the same as Netflix to be honest. I actually preferred the content on Stan over Netflix. I was expecting big things from Netflix with all the hype, but actually felt a bit disappointed once I had it.

The only things that separated the two when I was using them was, Netflix had Dolby 5.1 and Stan didn't, but both streamed HD.

The other thing I liked in Stan was, that you could view all the movies on one page from the ipad app. With netflix you have to side swipe every God damn title. I felt giddy after a while.
