    Are the extra channels free for the first month as well?

      Free trial period: Your Foxtel Play trial comes with every pick unlocked to help you decide on what suits you the best. You can adjust your selection through My Foxtel Play and when your trial ends on 10/04/2017, your billing period will automatically start for the picks you have chosen.

    How hard is it to cancel?

    • PainToad on 10/03/2017 - 17:34
      +30

      1) Login
      2) Click cancel
      3) They beg you to stay, showing you the "great" shows and movies coming up
      4) Click cancel again
      5) They get super desperate and offer you a discount (normally $25/month for a few months)
      6) Reject offer
      7) Cancelled
      8) Continue to access until next billing cycle

      tl;dr - takes a few clicks, but easy enough.

      • bargainist on 10/03/2017 - 18:54

        Some people got charged anyway.

        • kdtrey35 on 10/03/2017 - 20:14

          I got charged the $15 as well (eventhough I cancelled a month before the trial ended) but didn't realise until they emailed me about the refund.

        • lostn on 10/03/2017 - 21:22

          Get a reloadable Mastercard from Woolies with no credit on it. Use this for trial sign ups.

        • MickeyG on 10/03/2017 - 22:20
          +2

          @lostn: I got one of the Coles reloadable MasterCards this week and it wouldn't accept it.
          It popped up an error saying that the card was issued from outside Australia or similar?
          Had to use a regular credit card.

        • dfaktz on 11/03/2017 - 00:35

          @MickeyG: The cards actual numbers have identifying codes in them, you don't even really need to use third party merchant software to work it out; if you take the time of course, like Foxtels team I assume will have.
          They come straight from ISO 7812 standards.

          For example, 5 is the starting number for Mastercards, Visa's start with a 4 (Then following numbers are bank/location, etc) so forth, I don't know the exact identifying parts for the reloadable cards but it follows the same pattern and in the cases that they don't.. It can usually be seen in merchant information when being submitted through a creditcard processing application.

          Warning Take this following advice with a grain of salt! I personally like to use my LadBrokes card for things like this.. or my William Hill card.. etc - Of course this is more convenient for someone who already does some betting since any limits/restrictions or the actual purchase of the card to use (15/20$ processing fee) are already taken care of.. But in the end maybe food for thought for some of you!

        • superm86 on 11/03/2017 - 10:17

          @MickeyG: same.. any way out of that?

          As I use Coles card for any trial as it does not have much in case I get charged. Too paranoid to use usual card.

        • MickeyG on 11/03/2017 - 10:31

          @superm86: I tried the Coles card a few times and it got rejected every time. Went with a regular credit card and that worked fine. I didn't get charged even after logging in and enabling every package ($104/mth.) after the initial signup.
          You'll be fine.. trust me. ;)

        4- success (have a month free left on it)

        • ItsMeAgro on 11/03/2017 - 11:44
          +3

          Yep, I had to go "manage package" or whatever, and de-select all the various options, then the DEACTIVATE button appeared on the right.

          Do it now so you won't forget.

          Video/audio quality sucks, no subtitles or original language options, many shows only have the latest episode available, not the whole season(s), and (beyond the few shows you can't get elsewhere like GoT and The Wire) the selection really isn't great.

          This is a long way from being a service worth paying $5 a month for, let alone upwards of $25…

      • janxspirit on 13/03/2017 - 12:32

        I'm having the hardest time locating the Deactivate button

          +2

          It should be right there when you log in to your account.. it's the last option on the page.
          Try this.. log in to your account https://www.foxtel.com.au/foxtelplay/login.html then click on manage your package and deselect every pack then the deactivate button should show up.

    wtf? I enter all the info including cc details only to be told at the last hurdle the code is invalid and I can't sign up.

    • realfancyman on 10/03/2017 - 17:59
      +6

      this happened to me before. if you select just one pack it will go through, the once signed up edit your package to include all packs

      • JetLi on 10/03/2017 - 18:01

        i see, i did add sports which is the only pack i'm interested in

      • shonofear on 10/03/2017 - 18:08

        thanks worked

      • JetLi on 10/03/2017 - 18:11

        you are right, the code works with just 1 basic pack added for $10. however when i log in and add the sports pack, i get the following message:

        "As a promotional customer, by clicking 'Submit Changes' I agree that my credit card will be debited every month with the new amount as selected above. This change will take place immediately."

        Correct me if I'm wrong, but I interpret "This change will take place immediately" as meaning by adding the sports pack, I don't get any free trial anymore and will charge me immediately $39?

        • realfancyman on 10/03/2017 - 18:13
          +2

          No, the free trial continues.

        • JetLi on 10/03/2017 - 18:18

          @realfancyman: Cool, thanks for the confirmation, can watch some AFL this weekend.

    Does this include Footy Play? It says "all packs" but you never knoew with Foxtel. I wish Telstra TV had the Netflix 6 months deal on their device again, then I could properly trial Footy Play HD as they said it would be active ASAP, at the start of the season.

    • ameno on 10/03/2017 - 19:06

      Sure does, I signed up to the free month trial a fortnight ago and purchased a Telstra TV box off gumtree for $70 so all the sport channels are shown in HD, Inc Fox Footy and Fox League.

      Also, while I was setting up our Telstra TV, it gave us 6 months free Netflix :)

    • starionx on 10/03/2017 - 19:20

      The 6 month free trial of Netflix offer (on the TTV) expires at the end of March. Still have plenty of time to take advantage of it. :)

        Couldn't find it but then I opened the page on Edge and it popped up.

        Maybe I had to have logged into Play and watched something first.

          It depends on the browser you use. I have problems using Firefox (with adblock app). I usually use Edge in that case.

  • GunnerMcDagget on 10/03/2017 - 18:56

    Couldn't figure out where to enter the code. Went through all the steps and couldn't find a box to enter the code then it told me I've started my 2 week trial.

    • starionx on 10/03/2017 - 19:05

      You are on the basic 2 week free trial.
      I'd suggest cancelling and try signing up again (with different details). Maybe use another browser if you couldn't find where to enter the code.

      • GunnerMcDagget on 10/03/2017 - 19:09

        Must be doing something wrong. Tried on Chrome and Edge and can't find a code box on either one.

        • starionx on 10/03/2017 - 19:12

          Wow… when you click on the deal, the page that comes up has -

          'To get your

          right in the middle of the page.

      • Findo on 12/03/2017 - 00:04

        no go, can't find a place to input discount codes once an account has been made. Such a shame, this makes Presto look really good in comparision.

  • SilentX on 10/03/2017 - 19:12

    Does this work on a device that has already had a free trial?

    • starionx on 10/03/2017 - 19:15

      In the past, Foxtel use the MAC address of the device you are trying to use, to see if it has already had a free trial. I can't see why they would change that.

      Try it, see what happens. :)

      • krisrey on 11/03/2017 - 20:11

  • notYuna on 10/03/2017 - 19:14

    Activated my account, then cancelled - can't seem to use Play anymore? I thought we still had access until the end of the trial period?

    • starionx on 10/03/2017 - 19:16

      You can. Something else is causing a problem. Try logging out of foxplay, then back in.

  • MickeyG on 10/03/2017 - 19:24

      I tried AirPlay to my Apple TV and it doesn't work. Looks like it gets blocked.

  • Hank Scorpion on 10/03/2017 - 19:59

    Weird, it came up saying the promotional code was not valid at the end after it signed me up and confirmed via email. It worked though. Did anyone else get this?

    I watched it on PC - here are my thoughts.

    1. Silverlight - I nearly barfed all over my monitor.
    2. Silverlight - Okay it has gotten a little messy here. (I just ate pork ribs too)
    3. Very blocky, I'm on Optus Home Wireless broadband 12/1 speed but the NRL stream was varying between piss poor and just plain poor.
    4. Some streams had noticeable screen taring, kind of like gaming at 140fps on your Samsung LCD TV (if you are that way inclined, not that there is anything wrong with that)

    It could just be me and my crappy 4G internet but experience was not great. Maybe it works great on a TBOX but it just plain sucks on a PC.

        No, they are different. Foxtel Go is given to you when you already have a traditional Foxtel Pay TV subscription.

        Foxtel Play is a separate standalone streaming service. My PS3 and Sony Blu-ray player comes with the Foxtel Play App already installed. Xbox 360 used to have Foxtel Play but the App was removed last year.
