      only the extra channels you dont already subscribe to.
      All Foxtel customers already have the same channels available on Fox Go. For us it would mean we get the Sports channels for free on Go for two weeks.

    dont bother it's garbage. not only that, when you try and cancel none of the buttons work unless you pick one specific reason which is 'i dont like the quality' if i remember,

    and the real price is like 95 bucks a month. they wonder why they dont have many customers using the service.

      You mean Go or Play… they are different… there is no normal price for Go as you can see the channels you have a subscription to? Play is a different matter.

    Pretty sure you get Foxtel Go when you get Foxtel Play, and Foxtel Play always have a two week trial going:

      They are the same thing. One just comes with your residential subscription, the other is a standalone product.

    great deal

    the biggest gripe is that they gimped the cast/airplay of it so you cant watch on big screen unless you plug your laptop directly to the tv then sign in to GO on there

    • klownz on 16/03/2016 - 15:34

      Doesn't plugging it into a big screen kinda suck anyways due to the quality/bitrate?

      • lj87 on 16/03/2016 - 15:50

        I often AirPlay Fox Sports channels to a 42" Plasma from my iPad. Yeah they don't look great (probably DVD quality at absolute best - maybe a tad under), and the frame-rate is lower too (though I think this is an issue with Foxtel GO - not an AirPlay limitation). But I guess it beats paying for extra outlets + HD every month. Depends how often you use it.

        • Regie69 on 16/03/2016 - 19:40

          Yep as soon as i try to either mirror or Chromecast from phone to tv receive an foxtel error. Saying your not allowed to steam the signal. Yet if you have the foxtel app on a smart tv or ps4 /xbone you can watch it

          @Regie69:
          The app on ps4 etc is Foxtel play, a paid service, not Foxtel go.

    • Rusty4 on 16/03/2016 - 16:00

      Air parrot fixes this, but you still need to use your laptop.

    • No Child Support on 16/03/2016 - 16:10

      If youre ios device is jailbroken, you can airplay (native cast, not the mirror crap) foxtel to your apple tv. I do it and the quality is pretty decent. The cydia app escapes me right now, i will repost tonight when i go home

        Foxtel GO plays from a separate app, not from inside a browser.

    For sport (F1), does anyone know how Foxtel Go compares to the Fox Sports Digital Subscription? http://www.foxsports.com.au/fox-sports-subscription

    • konji on 16/03/2016 - 16:13

      I believe its the same quality feeds on both.
      I watch F1 on Foxtel Go. Its just SD and doesnt look too bad on a 42" plasma.
      Just dont go looking at the HD channels on someones flashy tv with an actual Foxtel set top box.

      • rifter on 16/03/2016 - 22:41

        Doesn't look too bad…. Looks crap. Nowhere near DVD quality. Even worse than VHS quality.

      • Diji1 on 17/03/2016 - 11:08

        Um yeah, no, SD automatically equals bad. You are literally seeing 25% of the detail if you want to count pixels.

      just use HDMI tv out from your laptop or PC :)

      • giventofly on 16/03/2016 - 16:38

        I had tried this and the app wouldn't work. Figured it knew it was a TV.

          definitely works mate, thats how mine is connected.
          Use both a laptop via HDMI and a desktop via HDMI, app loads and works fine.

          all i can suggest is troubleshoot (uninstall/reinstall, clear temp internet files etc) with maybe the TV connected?

        • boomramada on 16/03/2016 - 16:53

          It works as primary monitor only. Would not work as extended monitor or accessing via remote desktop.
          If you think its not working, reinstall the app, plugin as primary via HDMI restart.

    Think people need to understand that there's a reason Foxtel Go can't be used on a TV and that they sell Foxtel Play for those people who want that functionality.

      Foxtel Go can be used on a tv, you just need to use a PC/Laptop directly connected via HDMI

      • MATTDAMON on 16/03/2016 - 16:51

        Correct. Got to keep in mind though that Go has restrictions on channels etc (primarily sport that ive found) and the resolution to be frank sucks big time.

        At least Foxtel play via the PS4 the quality isnt bad, its not FHD but its watchable.

        Was more referring to people complaining about Chromecast and airplay moreso.

  • mi3rebus on 16/03/2016 - 16:29

    No wonder…. I installed foxtel go on my ipad app today and suddenly every channels are all watchable. I thought foxtel is being generous to me because i unsubscribe all the channels yesterday (except the required entertainment pack) and giving me all this channels enticing me back to the add ons i had. I guess i did it in a perfect time! =D

      Also Foxtel Have lost the rights to the 2016/2017 new season EPL. (or should i say where outbid by Optus) But im sure most people know this. Just Saying in-case someone thinks of renewing their contract long term and watch's a lot of the EPL. Not to mention the Champions league now an extra cost on (BeIn sports) when it was part of fox sports package last season.

    "Foxtel on Us" thanks OP but are you a rep? Noticed three of your posts are Foxtel related and wondering whether you are a store rep (using the words "we've" and "us). No harm being one, but just to let others know and I think there are some posting limits you need to abide by (which by looking at your frequency you would be nowhere near violating!). Thanks. Also why don't platinum subs get the offer, or do they already have access to Go in their packages?

    • Reveen on 16/03/2016 - 18:06

      No. The 'we' and 'us' are a direct copy and paste from the website.

        Haha I think so! I'm a subscriber and I don't get emailed offers in my inbox. How much does this usually cost and I'm gathering it is all SD (ie. no HD sport).

      So you are giving out your login password that people then have free access to your account, can add channels. Buy movies etc. I suggest you don't give it out.
      You are giving out unrestricted access to you whole account not just Foxtel Go.

    • Diji1 on 17/03/2016 - 11:18

      Good idea, the entire internet can see your box so now's the time to start giving random people on the internet the login details.

    I have Foxtel Go already, my father has Foxtel and has nearly everything on there, so I grabbed his info and got the phone version since it was basically going wasted otherwise.

    Firstly, the app is smart enough to detect if you're using an HDMI out from your phone, so don't bother if you're going after that.

    Second, everything else is perfect. The video quality is superb, and looks amazing on a 5" phone. The live streams and whatnot are about 5 seconds behind real Foxtel (to allow for buffering and shit I assume) so for all intents and purposes, if you're watching a live sport, it may as well be live.

    And third, it's just a really good service and I strongly urge anyone who has Foxtel to take advantage of it, it's not like Foxtel and Testra are known for giving things away for free.

    I wonder is Mobile FOXTEL quality video, representative of Foxtel Go app

    Recently got to try the former in which video appears like some glorified (enlarged) thumbnail graphic from the naughties? I' d hesitate to score M-F audio&video 1/5 as it will be inferior to iView that I view equates with sub 125 kBs level/single star. SD may get 2.5, 720p 3. (BR 4, 4K 5 etc)

    However. I enjoyed data glitch, have Netflix, & pleased by this so.
