    Telstra TV device will also stream HD channels.

    • Lil B on 29/12/2016 - 16:17

      Totally forgot about that; Added to OP. Thanks!

    • gruso on 30/12/2016 - 06:58

      What the hell. I don't know whether to be stoked that they actually know what HD streaming is (and run off to buy a Telstra TV), or pissed off that they don't offer it through the other streaming clients I've been using all this time. Because the Windows app is one of the worst streaming experiences on the planet.

      This should apply to Foxtel Go as well as Play shouldn't it?

      • Name on 30/12/2016 - 09:17

        Not too sure. But I read somewhere that HD streaming will be available on other devices early in 2017. So if that's true and you can wait, I'd just hold out for that.

        Although I haven't tried foxtel go app or the foxtel play computer program so I'm not sure how the interfaces compare, but the app on the telstra TV box is actually really good.

        I've convinced my parents to cancel their austar and get this. It'll work out cheaper for them as my mum only watches one station and my dad only watches the news. It'll cost them $10 a month, save a bunch.

        • gruso on 30/12/2016 - 09:38

          Good stuff, thanks for the info.

  • kirt on 29/12/2016 - 16:26

    Can confirm I received the same code and was able to sign up for the free month a few days ago.

    Be aware you can only use one trial per device.

  • Linkwick on 29/12/2016 - 16:36

    Even when it's a random alphanumeric code, it's not unique.
    Telstra & Foxtel never learn… :-p

  • jrt2020 on 29/12/2016 - 16:46

    we cant cast it to TV using Chromecast?

    • Regie69 on 29/12/2016 - 17:03

      Nope and that sux can't cast Foxtel go either

    • Unbranded on 29/12/2016 - 20:11

      I can cast it using Windows on my laptop to my Sony Blu-Ray player then to the tv.

    • speedyjonzalas on 30/12/2016 - 16:05

      Pretty much the sole reason I got rid of Foxtel Go.

      That plus being forced to sit through adverts while paying $80 a month.

      I honestly dont understand their business model - its almost designed to piss of the next generation of their customers.

  • Stahh on 29/12/2016 - 16:52

    Whats a telstra device ?

    • Regie69 on 29/12/2016 - 17:05

      It's a streaming box. Netflix, bigpond movies, Stan, presto which is being replaced by Foxtel Go

  • quink on 29/12/2016 - 16:58

    Free is still too expensive for that quantity and quality of ads.

    • Stahh on 29/12/2016 - 17:00

      Ads ads and more ads

  • craigoss on 29/12/2016 - 19:27

    Thanks, I just bought a Telstra TV to give this a try.I was watching the cricket on 501 and it's a very decent picture, just a delay of 30 seconds or so. I'm considering ditching foxtel for play.

  • DoesntEvenMatter on 29/12/2016 - 19:50

    Using it now. Must say such a nice UI compared to what you get with the IQ boxes. Did notice that on my Samsung TV there is zero buffer yet on the telstra box there maybe 2sec worth. Not supported on LG 2016 TV's which is a shame. There anytime option is quite nice too. If the price was more reasonable Netflix will have a serious competitor

  • UltimateAI on 29/12/2016 - 20:07

    Thanks, signed up had the iq2 for free for three months and find Foxtel play on Telstra tv much better, more content and higher resolution.

    May sign up for the $10 kids pack during the holidays. Pricing is improved and no contracts!!

    • dazweeja on 30/12/2016 - 10:28

      Did you not have the HD add-on on the IQ2? The quality is terrible on IQ2 without it.

      • UltimateAI on 30/12/2016 - 17:43

        Yes had the hd add-on, however most of the on-demand shows were not in hd and generally feel the content looks better.

        • dazweeja on 30/12/2016 - 19:38

          Thanks. Good to hear that Foxtel Play in HD is up to scratch.

    Ps4 compatible, right?

  • strayan on 29/12/2016 - 22:03

    How do I watch in my browser?

    • JeffreyM on 29/12/2016 - 22:11
      +1

      There's no browser version - the closest to that is a PC/Mac program

      • strayan on 29/12/2016 - 22:26

        Cheers

  • DirtyMunchy on 29/12/2016 - 22:51

    Says code is invalid. Is it just me?

    • strayan on 30/12/2016 - 01:29

      Try again. It said invalid the first time I tried but on the second time it worked.

  • Gmetal on 30/12/2016 - 07:41

    Nice, works for me. Any way to deactivate in advance (but retain the month), or will I just have to kill the account at the end of the 1 Mo?

    • freshy on 30/12/2016 - 10:18
      +2

      You can deactivate right away and you will still have 1 months access.

  • gruso on 30/12/2016 - 07:59

    Existing Go/Play users, can anyone comment on the stream quality difference when switching to HD on the Telstra TV?

    Looks like I could cancel my sat box, get Play and a Telstra box, and get my F1 in HD for $20 less per month…

    [edit] Missed this comment. More feedback welcome. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/285023#comment-4316442

    • dazweeja on 30/12/2016 - 10:24

      How do you get it for less than $20? One base pack + sports pack is $10 + $29 = $39 (although there's a tiny discount to $35 until end of January). Total rip-off.

      • samojed on 30/12/2016 - 10:39

        He's probably sharing it with a mate, $19.5 each.

        • dazweeja on 30/12/2016 - 11:11

          Sneaky! And a good idea ;)

      • kirt on 30/12/2016 - 11:52

        How do you get it for less than $20?

        He is talking about getting it for $20 less than his current satellite service:

        "Looks like I could cancel my sat box, get Play and a Telstra box, and get my F1 in HD for $20 less per month…"

        • dazweeja on 30/12/2016 - 12:14

          Good catch Kirt. My bad. Although I think he'd easily be able to negotiate base + sport for $40 on Foxtel if he's out of contract. That's pretty standard.

          Still I'm glad I misread his statement as I hadn't considered the sharing option myself.

        • gruso on 30/12/2016 - 18:45

          Correct :)

    Thanks OP, will get me through the NFL playoffs

  • caspochek on 30/12/2016 - 13:52

    Used my old credit card number with just a current date and it still worked, so it will get declined and I wont get charged after the one month.

  • gviddy on 30/12/2016 - 14:10

    Where do you actually enter this code ?

  • bjdchwr on 30/12/2016 - 16:28

    Sorry!
    Hey there, it looks like this promotional code is invalid. You will not be able to sign up with this code.

    Any suggestions?

    • Lil B on 30/12/2016 - 17:41

      It still works fine for me. Are you on Mobile or Desktop?

      • bjdchwr on 30/12/2016 - 19:30

        Finally I got it working…

        It seems you need to fill in details as soon as we can. Otherwise I will get that message….

        Also it's a shame that it won't accept Coles Reloadable Card - the website keeps saying it's a overseas CC…

        Thanks OP!

  • maybeamacy on 30/12/2016 - 18:04

    Can you cancel your subscription straight away so you don't get charged (if you forget)?

  • fluxcap on 30/12/2016 - 18:07

    first time didn't accept code, did it again and went through :D

  • waxed on 30/12/2016 - 21:30

    Whats the data usage like ?

    Thinking about cancelling the current foxtel with 2 boxes, and upping the NBN plan.

  • elcheapodeniro on 30/12/2016 - 22:14

    GRRRHHH!!

    So frustrating - I cancelled after trying it out.
    My feedback on cancelling was "No Chromecast support. Desktop app crashes. Pricing model is crap."

    Deactivation Date:30 January, 2017

    At least it gives you full trial even if you cancel early.

  • teekoo on 30/12/2016 - 23:46

    It's stupid you need to get another package before you can get the sports package. I'll stick to other online streams.

  • tunzafun001 on 31/12/2016 - 12:36

    Do telstra charge for mobile data? Or is it unmetered like the AFL app?

  • bjdchwr on 01/01/2017 - 12:07

    It seems the content is not in Full HD…

    I am using XBOX One S and my TPG ADSL could get ~11Mbps so I don't think it's an internet issue….

    • fozzie on 09/01/2017 - 22:01

      Live programmes are hd only on telstra tv at the moment.

      • bjdchwr on 10/01/2017 - 20:48

        Telstra TV seems working only under Telstra service…it's not a real deal for HD content I am afraid…

        Can't afford the Telstra line as my Telstra DSLAM is congested at the moment…

        • kirt on 10/01/2017 - 21:40

          The TTV works on any ISP…you can buy one brand new for $50 on Gumtree.

        • fozzie on 10/01/2017 - 22:23

          @kirt:
          You are correct only difference is that if you are a Telstra broadband customer Foxtel is unmetered.
