        Probably. To everyone who doesn't currently have the Movies Pack.

    Foxtel is a dying company…. there I said it.

    Streaming services will kill foxtel, sure it might take a few years but foxtel will go the same way as blockbuster video.

    It already starting to happen in America.

    5 years from now foxtel will be a shadow of what it is today.

      live sport, till AFL/NRL/Cricket manage to do it to the same standard as NBA.tv or similar it'll stick around.

      It already starting to happen in America.

      OK.

      5 years from now foxtel will be a shadow of what it is today.

      If you look at what's happening in America you'll see paid TV is doing very well so I'm not sure why you think that.

    • metalslaw on 02/07/2015 - 19:13

      Unfortunately the coalition are buying the 2 old hfc networks, and their going to be filling in the blackspots, effectively giving a big boost to good ol Rupert's foxtel… Sure rupert has to pay a connection fee if someone connects foxtel via the new 'hfc nbn', but i'm sure it's a pittance compared to how much it would have cost him to fix his own network.

    • gogo1234 on 02/07/2015 - 19:16

      I agree, but streaming requires aussie internet(and the nbn polices) to get its head out of its ass!

      No point, Netflix will dominate easily.

      • kdtrey35 on 02/07/2015 - 18:19

        way too expensive to compete with the cheaper steaming market. Most people nowadays know the tv shows they want to watch and Netflix is a perfect fit for that. Most of the good Tv shows on Foxtel are gone or are rarely on, I used to love tuning into TLC to watch that man smother himself with ridiculous amounts of food.

  • 67Gateway on 02/07/2015 - 17:20

    so, can I record as many movies as I can and watch it at a later date (outside the promotion period) using the IQ2?

    • Reveen on 02/07/2015 - 17:20

      Yes.

      • jason101 on 02/07/2015 - 18:35
        +1

        Errr - Are you sure, a couple of years ago this worked for me, but the last few years after the promo has expired the movies have stayed on the IQ2 box but have been unavailable for viewing without an upgrade.

        • Gotchas on 03/07/2015 - 10:11

          I take it it's the same with regular iq

        • Giraffe on 15/07/2015 - 16:53

          Can anyone clarify this? I'd like to know if I have to binge watch a stack of movies this weekend lol

          @Giraffe:
          Once it's on your IQ it should be there till you delete it..

    COR, that's enough to watch every film they release for most of the year, the other 50 weeks are just repeats

      Tell me how else am I supposed to watch the A-League, UEFA Champions League, EPL, AFL in HD for under $60 per month?

        True OzBargainers rub rocks together and throw sticks for their daily entertainment!!

    • Cluster on 03/07/2015 - 12:41

      I subscribed to Foxtel (minimum HD package $60) just for the sports. Nothing else. What finally pushed me over the edge is Foxtel grabbing half the Formula 1 coverage for the next five years. I don't care about the documentaries, movies, kids channels, etc. Just having a reliable stream of select live sport I want to watch is enough for me.

      Once I got Foxtel I discovered just how much 'filler' content there is. Dozens of junk channels that I doubt many people watch. A dedicated home shopping channel? Oh yeah, hot viewing right there.

  • tommy-darko on 02/07/2015 - 19:16

    Great for something to watch in the meantime before the new EPL season starts. Cheers!

  • rjb on 02/07/2015 - 20:07

    If only there are streaming services covering various sporting events!

    • PinzVidz on 02/07/2015 - 20:22

      Only a matter of time…

        Sooner, the better.

    • IDontWantToSignUpJu… on 02/07/2015 - 21:27

      Youtube seems to be ever so slowly moving into the space.

  • Iwantthatbargain on 02/07/2015 - 20:16

    All you need to do is select ‘Movies’ in your TV guide.

    So no activation required ?
    Does it mean I just need to switch to channel 401 upwards on Foxtel and do nothing else?

  • goddo2305 on 03/07/2015 - 00:07

    12:07am here in melbourne and it's not working for me yet aha. not really that I care as long as I have my sports channels… and Fox8 for the good ol' cartoons

  • strat on 03/07/2015 - 00:52

    I got foxtel via telstra and its still greyed out via my lemon IQ3.. no email of the offer either.

    edit: Actually looks like its slowly being activated some movies channels work some dont…

  • goddo2305 on 03/07/2015 - 01:20

    Actually after unplugging my IQ2 from the power, it has now gained access to the movie channels!

  • brannor on 03/07/2015 - 09:22

    Mine's busy recording stuff now (just have the basic package)

    But after being on Netflix for a while, I was amused to see quite a number of the movies are on Netflix anyway… If anything, it's showing why NOT to pay $25pm more for Foxtel movies…

  • tarawa on 03/07/2015 - 10:06

    excluding Optus TV feat Foxtel customers.

    I got Foxtel from Optus and works for me and in HD* too.

    *Probably because I already have the HD pack

    ~Edit: I realised the bit about excluding Optus is about the FOXTEL go app.

  • melbtiger on 03/07/2015 - 10:33

    Its working for me. I am on Telstra Foxtel. Thanks OP.
