I found out you can get a 3 month free trial using the Presto ShopaDocket Code from an earlier presto deal, on the Foxtel Play's website to get 3 months of free foxtel play on the pop pack by itself.

Alternatively if you want to pay for foxtel play:
Pop And Movies for $15 per month for the first 3 months

Important stuff

  • Pop pack free for 3 months. This offer only applies for the first 3 months if you subscribe to the Pop pack. At the end of the first three months, the ongoing subscription fee for the Pop pack will be $15 per month. Only available to customers with an unused Presto voucher who become new residential Foxtel Play customers. Offer valid until expiry of Presto voucher which is no later than 31 July, 2017. Not available in conjunction with any other offer. Just connect your compatible device to the internet. Shows only available if they're in your pack, some shows/channels not available.� Data charges may apply. Access on compatible smartphones and tablets via Foxtel Go. Sorry, Australia only.

    Until they bring chromecast option Foxtel play is pretty useless

      Ugghh……

    • Kaboda on 11/01/2017 - 12:40

      Have you tried casting the screen?

      • edshays on 11/01/2017 - 13:28

        Still not a good product if you can't use your phone whenever watching Foxtel. Also, casting screen would probably lead to lower quality. Best to use an xbox or playstation i think.

      • Jackkkkkk on 12/01/2017 - 08:17

        doesn't allow you either

    • Jazqer on 11/01/2017 - 12:54

      We just use the Play app on our smart TV so maybe not so useless for everyone.
      Still way too expensive as a service compared to Netflix etc though…

      • [Deactivated] on 11/01/2017 - 13:11

        That depends, does Foxtel get HBO shows? I would pay a little more (a little!) for HBO shows.

        • Jazqer on 11/01/2017 - 20:28

          Yeah. Probably one of the few reasons we keep our foxtel subscription. Showcase generally = HBO.

      Just connect your laptop to the TV with a HDMI cable, simple.

      don't people plug their laptop or just use the app built into most modern TV's?

      App on samsung series 8 is fantastic.

      Or plug in laptop/PC via HDMI?

  • BradH13 on 11/01/2017 - 12:59
    +11

    I used this a few weeks ago and it popped 4 months free for me.

    The service in general is piss poor though. SD resolution that drops frames on all devices like there's no tomorrow. Interface is also rough on Xbox One and the PC app has HDCP handshake issues every now and then on my Sony X9300D, resulting in 'cannot display content' errors. Only way to fix is to change HDMI channel and swap back.

    Wouldn't and won't pay for this once my 4 months is up.

    Surprisingly there is no Foxtel Play app for Samsung 2016 models.
    Please let me know if it is possible (Foxtel already confirmed NO, couple of months back)

    • dragonxx on 11/01/2017 - 13:26

      There are no FOXTEL Play app for 2016 Sony TV as well - pretty useless.

        I should have read your comment before I signed up, but I worked around that problem by casting from my phone.
        Edit: After an hour of hacking a way to watch this on my 2016 Sony, my son gets home from work, is delighted we have Foxtel, and laughs at my story of getting it to play. He shows me the big PLAY app icon that recently adorned our home screen, turns out it is Foxtel Play.

        • dragonxx on 12/01/2017 - 15:50

          Glad you made it!! My case was having connected the TV with my PS4, works like charm.

          I worked around that problem by casting from my phone

          Do you mean Chromecast? Are you using android phone? At least for my Samsung S7, I can't see any option to cast from Foxtel Play to my X8500D TV :-(

          He shows me the big PLAY app icon that recently adorned our home screen, turns out it is Foxtel Play.

          Really? What model are you having? Can you take a picture of that? I'm really looking forward to using Foxtel Play on my TV as I don't have arial connection now.

          @tuanmh: 1. I could not chrome cast so i used a screen mirroring app, it wasn't very stable. 2. The app icon looks like this image >> http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/nettech/images/d/d4/Foxt…. 3. My tv is a Bravia kd 49x8000d.

          Oh yeah, I'm using Screen Mirroring as well, very unstable but works!!!

          My tv is a Bravia kd 49x8000d.

          Oh, probably your model has it, mine is X8500D and there is no such app :(

          Thanks a lot for your answers!!!

        • [Deactivated] on 12/01/2017 - 19:39

          @tuanmh: try updating, the tv updated itself the other day and the app apeared, I just had no idea it was Foxtel, I thought it was another gaming client.

      Yes, there is. It's just Foxtel Go, login with your Foxtel Play account. I'm doing so on my Sony and Samsung TVs.

  • johndemonik on 11/01/2017 - 13:30

    Apparently Foxtel Go is meant to be going HD this year and getting AFL, so I assume Foxtel Play would be far ahead on the priority list for getting HD. But I wouldn't hold my breath over any of these services moving to HD any time soon.

    • sprucemoose on 11/01/2017 - 13:42

      Surprisingly, if you have Foxtel Play on Telstra TV it's now available in HD. The quality is excellent. So other devices shouldn't be too far off.

    • JBucks on 11/01/2017 - 15:01

      Foxtel GO and Foxtel Play both had AFL in 2016

      • johndemonik on 11/01/2017 - 15:19

        Oh, well the foxtel go i have on OS X does not have the afl channel currently. If i search for fox footy, it shows one episode of the recruit and that is all.

        • JBucks on 13/01/2017 - 09:12

          Sorry, you are correct. As sena86 said below, it is only on iOS and Android for Foxtel GO.

          However, Foxtel Play (the foxtel streaming service) definitely has it, as I signed up for a free trial while I was away last year.

      • sena86 on 11/01/2017 - 15:34

        Only for iOS/Android, not for PC. But this will change in 2017 with the new broadcasting agreement allowing Foxtel to stream AFL on PC.

  • sigma on 11/01/2017 - 13:31

    is there a way to sign up for the free trial without giving them the CC info?

      Do what I do for things I don't want to have my info. Pick up one of them prepaid MasterCards and just leave it with a few cents on there. Works a charm for all the free Xbox Gold and PS+ trials.

      • dazweeja on 11/01/2017 - 14:06

        Me too but best to leave at least $1 on there. Many trials place a $1 authorization.

        • chorong on 11/01/2017 - 16:26

          So far seems to work with a prepaid mastercard that has $0 balance. YMMV and not sure if they'll end up cancelling because they can't authorise it.

      When I used the 1 month free code posted on here a little while ago I used a old credit card from a closed account with just a current expiry. Maybe try that? Or a credit card generator as they don't seem to charge till the trial is over.

      Hey mate apparently it's just the live streaming tv in HD. I tried them too and they were still blurry for me but each to their own. I think once foxtel get better servers or offer higher reso's they'll be really good.

    i cant believe people pay for this junk. i signed up, viewed 10 mins of a westworld episode on my 1080p display and it was like 480p quality. whoever is in charge of foxtel's direction needs to be fired, they cant keep up.

    • StormOfRazors on 11/01/2017 - 15:36

      Yeah I had the same experience, their 'HD' for their on-demand shows is rubbish (we tried Westworld, GoT and some others). Their live streaming channels seem okay, but how the hell did they think forgetting to give on-demand the HD upgrade was okay! It was worse than DVD quality and thats not acceptable for what they are charging. We soon cancelled.
      And it is definitely a problem their end, we can handle Netflix and Amazon 4K fine.

      This is most likely a special offer cos of Presto shutting down this month I would reckon. So not sure if it'll still be available by then.

      "With Presto coming to a close on 1st February 2017, we would like to invite Presto customers to join Foxtel Play with this special offer."

        The conditions say 'Offer valid until expiry of Presto voucher which is no later than 31 July, 2017'. But maybe they could end it earlier.

        The default Presto offer is a measley 2 weeks free.

        Still haven't got my complaint call back which he claimed would be in 24 to 48 hours so if they eventually call me ill try find out more info for you.

          Spent a long time on hold while they tried to figure out what to do. Eventually got transferred to someone in Australia.
