Foxtel Now features low-priced and flexible bundles that give customers greater freedom and access to the best choice in live sport, new movies, TV and complete seasons. There are still no set up costs and you can cancel at any time.

Foxtel Now arrives with the widely anticipated addition of HD streaming on select devices combined with a brand new user interface. It also has the ability to stream Foxtel Now to the big screen via Google Chromecast.

Foxtel Now represents our most flexible and affordable entertainment service and brings with it HD streaming, a great new look and feel and the freedom to jump in and out based on your viewing preferences.

Foxtel Now is available on PC/Mac via the Google Chrome browser, Telstra TV, compatible iOS and Android mobiles and tablets, and Chromecast.

Additional devices will be updated in the coming months, until then, other devices, including PlayStation 3 & 4, Xbox One and select Smart TVs are able to stream Foxtel content in SD via the Foxtel Play app.

Subscribers have access to all linear services in the tier along with all of the on-demand, catch up and library content available to that tier plus mobile and tablet access via the new Foxtel Now app. There are over 16,000 titles in the on demand library, half of them in HD with more HD content being added all the time.

Foxtel Now comes with a two-week free trial. For more information visit: www.foxtelnow.com.au

          What's the difference between Now and Play? I can't see any, just a rebranding?

        • swimmingtoad on 06/06/2017 - 21:14

          @czd:

          They are re branding Foxtel Play into Now and changing a few features.
          More emphasis on (Hopefully HD) on-demand streaming from my understanding.

          New interface and they are bringing HD streaming to more devices (Finally. Previously only Telstra TV had HD)

    Some reason the link is not work it is launching tomorrow try this one in the meantime they haven't updated their website completely yet
    From what I can see it is $104 with all packaged

    I will update post once Foxtel has finished changing their site over

      Until they allow me to record, I will never sign back up. Zero point paying to watch US, when you can't record it and it's not uploaded to on demand.

      Fun fact Foxtel, people work, they can't take time off work just to watch sport when it suits your scheduling.

    don't waste your time, almost everything is in SD… doesn't work on the majority of devices,

    you really are just better off using streaming pirated services or stick with Netflix, they even make it difficult to cancel (the button doesnt work in firefox and chrome…. and only sometimes in IE)

    oh, this is a streamingservice for 10 bucks a month, I wouldn't even give them that

    FoxtelNow

    http://www.news.com.au/entertainment/tv/foxtel-unveils-its-n…

    Foxtel Now, which launches tomorrow, will be available on PC/Mac via the Google Chrome browser, Telstra TV, iOS and Android mobiles and tablets, and Chromecast.

    so basically they have invested zero dollars, its going to be just as terrible as Play…. and still supports zero devices

    • PVA on 06/06/2017 - 21:58

      no way will it only be $10 a month, unless you are happy with say the kids pack and zero else.

  • PVA on 06/06/2017 - 21:54

    whats the advantage of this over normal Foxtel.?
    It seems to be the same price except you dont have the benefits of a non-streaming service (not having to think about data use/speed etc and HD will work on any screen not just the selected devices they choose)

    • swimmingtoad on 06/06/2017 - 21:58

      No installation. It streams through an app over the internet.

      • PVA on 06/06/2017 - 22:00

        I know it streams, but thats not an advantage. HD is via selected limited devices only (telstra TV and Chromecast).

        • swimmingtoad on 06/06/2017 - 22:21

          It is an advantage if you are unable to get installation or don't want a month-to-month contract.

    • kirt on 06/06/2017 - 22:31

      whats the advantage of this over normal Foxtel.?

      Can easily share your account with 2 simultaneous streams (meaning sports can be had for under $20 a month), and most of the popular shows / sports are available on Anytime within around 1 to 8 hours after being shown "live" if you miss it.

    • noise36 on 06/06/2017 - 23:30

      It's cheaper

      • PVA on 07/06/2017 - 07:51

        $104 per month isn't super cheap though.

        • TristanJ on 07/06/2017 - 12:36
          +1

          The Platinum HD package (everything) via Telstra on a month-to-month contract is $99/month. However, after the first 12 months discount it rolls onto $137/month if you don't cancel. Cancel at the end of your 12 months and the full Foxtel Package plus free IQ3 box and free install is still cheaper

  • FeRGan on 06/06/2017 - 22:08

    Fingers crossed the new app allows subscription via Google play. The only way id pay for this is using my Telstra credit.

  • noise36 on 06/06/2017 - 22:34

    Whats the min cost for live HD sport?

    • tassieeagle on 06/06/2017 - 22:36

          Do you or the family watch any other channels though, check what channels are dropped if you go streaming.

          I'm currently on satellite and pay $36.00 p/m for HD sport.

  • All Blacks NZ on 06/06/2017 - 23:07

    I just signed up for this yesterday to watch Champions trophy and the quality has been pretty good. My internet is quite slow and the stream continues with dropped quality. It is bit expensive though at $40/month for just sports channel and movies.

    • shanks43 on 08/06/2017 - 22:04

      Are the Fox Sports channels in HD mate? Specially the cricket? Is that in HD - 720p or 1080p? When I last had Foxtel Play the fox sports channels were in a very low res, quite unwatchable tbh!

      • BlackCaviar2016 on 09/06/2017 - 13:53

        Just signed up for the trial. I can confirm overall the stream quality is much better than it was on Foxtel Play. Can't confirm the resolution though, but I guess it's somewhere between 720p and 1080p.

        And yes, the cricket (ICC Champions Trophy) on FoxSport (507) looks very sharp and clear, very good quality.

      • All Blacks NZ on 09/06/2017 - 19:47

        The quality is quite good. I am only watching it on my 12" laptop and my internet is quite slow. I am not sure if it's HD or not.

  • PiStep on 06/06/2017 - 23:30

    Foxtel will never beat the real streaming services… They are the same price for less content and they still have adds.. Even less content now then before… they make a big deal about rebranding play and it is on all the new services, but read the fine print…

    From 5 June 2017, BoxSets, 13th Street, Binge, Syfy, Discovery Science, Animal Planet, Lifestyle You, Style, World Movies, CNN, Smooth, BBC World News, CNBC, Max, CMC, Eurosport News, Foxtel Arts, MTV Music and MTV Dance will no longer be available on Foxtel Play.

      True, But only if you don't place any value on live sport.

      Availability of AFL means that Foxtel beats the real streaming services in our house.

  • 24601 on 07/06/2017 - 10:19

    Cannot locate FoxtelPlay in Google Play store anymore, looks like FoxtelNow is a direct replacement of FoxtelPlay…

    FoxtelNow won't run if your mobile is rooted. not sure about FoxtelPlay as I've never installed it before.

    • PainToad on 07/06/2017 - 10:55

      Foxtel Play was never in the Play Store. It was (still is) called Foxtel Go.

      Getting around the root block is easy with Magisk.

      • ycon on 29/06/2017 - 21:44
