    Still no AppleTV app right?

      Correct…

        It’s like Foxtel wants to fail. Which is fine by me.

          Yup - who knew that a streaming service would need to be on, you know, streaming platforms. Clearly not the strategic geniuses at Foxtel!

                @Superstar15: I think the state of streaming is still a bit of a mess. I've got all of the bloody things. NVIDIA doesn't have Optus sport (can do a shit hacky solution) apple TV doesn't have Foxtel and Telstra TV is missing loads (even though the Roku hardware has some of the apps available in US)

                It's getting better. But will be nice when we get to maturity like IOS vs Android where the apps are just available on both and any arguments now are just semantics by fanboys.

    They're dreaming if they think it's worth $25 a month with ads.

      The people stupid enough to pay for something with ads, are the same exact people advertisers want to talk to

        You do realise that 100% ad free streaming platforms is something that won't last, right? When all the dust is settled from the 'streaming wars'and the revenue generated from subscription plateaus, the share holders/owners of these billion dollar companies will need new sources of revenue. When the big streaming companies with all the 'must watch properties' start serving ads, people will first complain, then they will get used to it and it'll become the norm.

        • solidussnake on 15/12/2019 - 23:02

          Isn't it more so every Tom dick and Harry are buying up big titles in the hopes the masses flock to their service, Somethings going to break soon enough when people refuse to have more than a couple services at a time.

        • DeviousDan on 16/12/2019 - 09:53

          Some people will, some wont. Piracy is already on the rise again, with the advent of Plex people can have their own streaming service for free.

      • Hinee on 16/12/2019 - 09:33

        Dumb comment. Just because Foxtel doesn't suit your situation doesn't make all users stupid. I personally enjoy channel flicking and being fed content rather than endlessly scrolling and not liking what I end up on. Considering I only originally got it for sport and split the cost between another I think it's good value.

    • imurgod on 15/12/2019 - 21:32

      Completely agree. Remember when they launched? They advertised that it was ad free since you were paying.

      Foxtel can't survive as a business if it doesn't change.

      They are the Gerry Harvey of pay TV.

    • jv on 15/12/2019 - 21:57

      $25 a month with ads.

      The don't show ads during the shows.

        That do for most channels show them during shows. Only a few channels are ad free during shows

        • nascowe on 16/12/2019 - 08:45

          Their normal "live" channels (Fox8, etc) have ads in between episodes, but their on-demand content doesn't have ads during shows ever from my ~year of using Foxtel Now.

    In the last few weeks the Foxtel Now app has been made available in the Play Store on the Vodafone TV and 2019 Nvidia Shield (and can still be sideloaded on all other Android TV boxes).

  • deme on 15/12/2019 - 21:01

    Is this Foxtel ie. Watch what they say to watch or like iView?

    • melbourne guy on 15/12/2019 - 22:39

      Both. You get access to live tv channels and on demand content.

        Weird….I'd be a new one.

  • SnowDragon on 15/12/2019 - 21:08

    Well it's comforting to know that the "cancel subscription" option is grayed out in my account settings. I guess I'll have to wait until the second month to cancel the sub and not pay anything?

    Thanks OP. Will setup a reminder.

    • Shads on 15/12/2019 - 21:16
      +1

      I thought that too, but the option appeared available for me about half hour/hour after you sign up.
      Only thing is when you finally click to cancel, it comes up saying you lose the 2 months free instantly, so you'll need to remember to cancel before the 2 months are up anyway to avoid being charged.

      • SnowDragon on 15/12/2019 - 21:18

        So on the 14th of February then hey?

    Watch on your TV using one of the following: Telstra TV, PS4, Sony Android TV, LG or Samsung Smart TV, Foxtel Now Box or casting / airplay.

    • solidussnake on 15/12/2019 - 22:23

      Yeah my Samsung tv has foxtel Play which is a different subscription service to Foxtel now so dumb 🤦‍♂️

      • trunks on 16/12/2019 - 09:34

        Pretty sure Foxtel Play was just the old name for Foxtel Now. Might just be that you need to update the app on your TV? Foxtel Go is the other one that allows you to watch on the go if you have an existing cable Foxtel subscription.

        • Neon Kitten on 21/12/2019 - 18:57

          Foxtel Play is the same as Foxtel Now - basically (and it's Foxtel so of course it's really stupid) they decided to re-brand Foxtel Play as Foxtel Now, and they set about making new apps so that the service could stream in semi-HD (720p) instead of the SD it used to be limited to. But for the platforms they weren't prepared to bother making apps for, the "legacy" Foxtel Play app still works - just limited to SD.

          In a world where new streaming services launch on every major platform it's pretty amazing how rubbish Foxtel is at getting apps done for its streaming service. But then, rumour has it the whole thing's being replaced by a new streaming service run by the Kayo team sometime in the first half of 2020…

    • boxall on 16/12/2019 - 09:25

      Depends on what app is the one for this solution:
      https://community.foxtel.com.au/t5/Foxtel-GO-Knowledge-Base/…

      Sign up page says to use Foxtel Go, but the page above says to use Foxtel Now.

  • Kdw26488 on 15/12/2019 - 23:20

    They will probs try to charge on the 2nd free month like the last foxtel 2 month promotion

    Has anyone been able to successfully cancel the free subscription and keep the two months after signing up?

    • boxall on 16/12/2019 - 09:12

      That's what I would want to do as well.

  • [Deactivated] on 16/12/2019 - 07:45

    Anyway to get foxtel go to work on a tv?

  • boxall on 16/12/2019 - 09:12

    Any offline capability on the iPad?

    And is this Foxtel Now, Foxtel Go, Foxtel Play or something else?

    And this makes it all no clearer:
    https://community.foxtel.com.au/t5/Foxtel-GO-Knowledge-Base/…

    And if this is Foxtel Now (sorry missed the title), it says in the device support to use Foxtel Go on the iOS device but the link above says to use the Foxtel Go app on iOS.

    What a confused strategy!

  • timmysbiscuits on 16/12/2019 - 09:31

    Do they still make you get all the other packages before you can get Doco’s?

  • Oofy Doofy on 16/12/2019 - 09:40

    Signed up, mostly junk unfortunately. Gonna set a 3 day warning on my calender to cancel.

  • StealaDeal on 16/12/2019 - 10:32

    Does anyone have experience cancelling Foxtel subscription in the past? Can you just cancel online or do you have to call in? I have been told they make it painfully impossible to cancel.

  • knindza33 on 16/12/2019 - 12:11

    Be careful. I was on the WW 2 month free deal and Foxtel charged me $25.

    I'm sure some d#@#head senior executive at Foxtel who's rusted on there has a point of view that Apple is a competitor and they're going to make a streaming app for Apple over his dead body. Meanwhile, all the other streaming networks eat Foxtel for dinner…

  • fusilli-jerry on 16/12/2019 - 14:54

    Does this pack (essentials pack) include the shows Succession or Silicon Valley? Tried searching online for a list of TV shows in each Foxtel pack but found very little info.

    Signed up and redeemed this offer, even though in the registration page it says 2 months free and will only be charged after that, once all submitted, my credit card is charged immediately. Queried through live chat and was told no offer or code can be seen in my account.

    Now have to wait for their online support team to investigate and get back to me.
