I had Presto. Which Foxtel cancelled. Now they're back with this?
Presto was good content wise, the problem was the price and the apps which were absolutely trash.
I got a deal off OZ Bargin for 12 months free Presto. Then they cancelled the service. I was spewing!
They keep creating a new streaming service because their apps keep failing, yet all they do is waste money re-branding it and never actually change it in any meaningful way.
Oh another streaming service, fantastic.
Come on, it is free; it has be to be upvoted.
The subscription page suggests that there are 'vouchers' out there; anyone know?
So no different to a lot of other free trials or free sim card deals.
and it is truly free unless you forget to cancel…in which case it is then not free
Content looks good, iOS app is a bit clunky
but its a bargain to be sure
@dogzilla: but only 2 weeks, when nearly everyone else offers at least a month to on board, sometimes 4
I cancel my free trial shit immediately after signing up… Usually end up with an offer for an additional free month if you come back.
That's literally how most free trials work. Just set a reminder so you don't forget to cancel.
PSA you can cancel your free trials immediately and they won’t end until the allotted time expires.
Unless they are free trials of Apple services, in which case, they don't follow their own rules that they impose on every other provider (offering the trial period as you outline in your post) and instead CANCEL THE SERVICE IMMEDIATELY. One of the most unscrupulous aspects of Apple.
It's also not free in the sense that you have to feed and shelter yourself for the duration required for you to log back in and cancel it. You also have to take the time out of your day to do so as well… not to mention ensure you are literate enough to operate a device capable of accessing their webpage. IS THIS EVEN A BARGAIN?!?!
As i noted on the previous forum post:
It’s should also be noted made for Foxtel shows will not be shown on binge until their end (even then not a garauntee)
Shows confirmed to NOT be coming to binge
Wentworth
Selling houses Australia
Location location location Australia
Great Aussie bake off
Aussie gold hunters
These shows are still currently showing on Foxtel and they have confirmed they won’t be shown on binge while currently broadcasting (this includes all previous series)
Movies will premiere on Foxtel and transition to binge over time.
The fastest way to see the latest releases will be on Foxtel (their quote not mine)
There is also current a LOT of crossover with Stan in regards to content (Stan still has access to FX and NBCU content until end of this year i believe)
Don't worry, Binge has Gogglebox so its well worth the money. /s
You will pretty much get a summary of all the best shows through Gogglebox
Selling houses Australia
Location location location Australia
Great Aussie bake off
Aussie gold hunters
( ͡⊙ ͜ʖ ͡⊙)
Among many others
if its exclusively made for Foxtel you will not see it on Binge if its still current
Ahh poor Stan!
First they lost MCU content because of Disney+ abd now this.
Gets worse.
They about to loose a lot more content as cbsviacom won’t be renewing their deals as they plan to transfer the content to 10AllAcess when the deals expire.
Stan won’t be around by end of 2021 is my call
Will close or be bought out by a competitor.
No more Better Call Saul?
Foxtel go, Foxtel now, Kayo, Binge, NRL and AFP App, how many branded streaming services do foxtel need.
This is very different from Foxtel go/now
Its essentially Kayo but with their drama programs instead of sport
Lots of programming exclusions though as far as movies and series go many will still premiere of Foxtel and "might" move to binge at a later date
So netflix should branch out and create a separate service for each genre?
Don't give them ideas lol
netflix has sport now?
@s2230011: No, that's the "Netflix AU sport cast #4 Aussie Rules ONLY HD+ atmos" service only if you include the drama pack too.
Foxtel now had a drama package though? I'm struggling to see how this is any different to what they already had?
I'm fine with it though, if they want to keep wasting money every two years with a new app, and the insane costs involved with creating that and advertising. go ahead. Will just mean their downfall is even quicker.
It's definitely not different to their old presto service, I ran that for 2 years for free using 6 month free trials. Eventually they wound it up, such is the foxtel way. They keep trying to make as much money as they used to when they had a monopoly, but it's not possible, so they will end up winding this up soon too
It excludes a lot of content you can only get on Foxtel but it’s decent for $14 a month.
A lot, obviously. Like a dinosaur slowly sinking into a tar pit, they're thrashing around in a desperate attempt to survive. Whether they succeed or not remains to be seen.
Don't forget Foxtel Play. I think it still works on some older smart TVs.

Like I get your point, but you are reaching a fair bit.
Firstly saying the NRL/AFL apps are a "foxtel" streaming service is a push. They are basically there as a value add on to telstra services, kind of like how optus sport (basically just premier league streams) is a value add on to optus products.
Next, foxtel go is what you get when you have a normal foxtel connection at home for free, so it's not really marketed to anyone except existing foxtel subscribers, however I get your point they probably could just call it foxtel now.
So really that leaves foxtel now, which is basically just foxtel IPTV, then kayo which is on demand steaming sport and now binge, which is on demand "drama and entertainment".
So realistically they have 3 Streaming services which are fairly well defined in what they offer.
Yeah as someone who has used ALL of them except for binge, yeah nah it still reflects chaos and poor foresight.
While Disney has Disney + and Hulu separate, that is at least due to the fact that Hulu is legacy and can be usefully targeted at an older audience. Not to mention Hulu is not Disney's original content. So a very compelling case.
On demand drama and entertainment, and apps for foxtel at home etc. are not compelling arguments.
Why does Foxtel need to distinguish between foxtel and streaming? Most tech companies have been doing the opposite, pushing for cross device integration.
If the audience is different, simply tweak the content that is shown (i.e. packages). But Foxtel should be aiming for a very coherent and concise pitch.
Wow, didn't realise the Australian Federal Police have an app, might tell my dealer so he can watch them before they storm his house.
How many orphan streaming devices are out there for Foxtel? Allow unlocking of the set top boxes and people might consider subscribing. Shit ,what did I just write? At that price for that shit ,no way.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That's going to a be a lot shorter soon.
This is why i use kodi and prime.. fragmented ass streaming
Amazon Prime?
Amazon Prime Video.
Yea, the streaming is a bonus all the other perks more than pay for it
@Wilder94: Yeah, I've easily saved enough in shipping alone that getting a streaming service on top is a bonus.
This is why I use Kodi and debrid services
Is real debris actually worth the coin?
Haven't used it in a year or so, but yes.
In Kodi add ons where you may get only a few bad quality links normally it will give you a 1080p link almost instantly.
@Hughesyboy: what debrid provider do you use? and what app on Kodi these days works well?
Last time I used it, I was using Exodus.
@spuderump: I was the same, exodus. Then it went to exodus reborn and could have changed 10 times since then. I use real debrid still, but only to convert torrents to download links on the odd occasion.
The main thing that made me move away from Kodi was that my Apple TV would occasionally wipe the kodi cache, or the add on would stop working. Both of these meant I had to redo the kodi add on installation and it just got a bit painful, especially while I was away for work and it would stop working for my girlfriend.
@Hughesyboy: Yep I had same issue! I would always get "this content is not available" error even though there was about 100+ links available.
I just gave up and haven't gone back.
@onlinepred: End to end encrypted traffic to another country, no DNS requests to the ISP and no torrent traffic through the ISP in case the VPN doesnt work. Am i missing something?
@Roger Ramjet: What vpn and what dns? Assuming you run your own modem and not provided one? I believe you will need dynamic dns otherwise ISP will get ip address from your requests
@onlinepred: Decent hardware. Private Internet Access, relatively reputable out of a mixed bunch. quad9 (9.9.9.9) and Cloudflare (1.1.1.1) the better of the free DNS providers.
Not that I torrent… just saying that’s an option if someone wanted to.
I think it is. It's the only sane way of not getting buffering on HD/4K content.
Also no more/greatly reduced dud sources.
It's like $4 a month, give it a go.
The Crew is a much better version of Exodus imo.
Tell me more about this ass streaming
It's fragmented.
Cracked, if you will.
I read that as fragranced ass streaming (well I could be arsed as an Australian).
I agree with your sentiment when it comes to paying for it. But a free trial, nothing wrong with that. Valid deal, invalid neg.
Oh look, another bandwagon comment. Yeah, nah.
Remember when it became easier to just pay for a streaming service or two than it was to pirate content? With movies and TV shows spread across SO MANY different platforms, I can see why people of questionable moral character might prefer to go back to piracy.
I'm happy to pay for 1 or 2
Not 78 haha
Might? ;)
Yeah, This is what I fear with Sports & Kayo. At the moment $25 a month for AFL, Cricket, ESPN, NRL, BEIN & what ever other sports take your fancy is a great deal. If Foxtel go bust and the sports start getting spread accross multple platforms then it could be very expensive me me.
Yep, exactly, just look at an NFL game pass, $280 or so for a season subscription, for one sport.
Kayo at full price would be $150 for 6 months, for a heap of different sports coverage.
it's cable TV all over again…
Its 2020. Get with the torrent.
*1999 you mean.
1999 was still all about Kazaa and eDonkey
Napster and DC++
Kazaa the good old days when it could take all day to download a movie in poor quality that was just some old movie incorrectly labelled.
@Ronnnie: Kazaa was like the wild west of the internet. I remember some very messed up (illegal) stuff falsely labelled as movies
@ChadHominem: And the rampant malware. The number of times as a 13 year old I downloaded .JPG porn only to find out if was a virus. Not sure how the family computer was ever functional.
Haha remember kazaa… The first song I ever downloaded was some Ronan Keating song… What a wastage of 4mb that was!
2020, and Foxtel still can’t sort out 4K correctly, even for streaming services…
Are any TV shows apart from the ones made by the Streaming Services broadcast anywhere in 4k?
Does it matter? Almost all streaming services outside Australia have 4k now.
Broadcast TV isn't really important anymore
Does it matter? not really, just feel like there is some blind hate towards Foxtel. Someone justified due to their historical offerings.
Anyway Too my knowledge the only TV shows available in 4k are the ones made by the Streaming Providers e.g Netflix, Stan & Amazon Prime. Why would Binge offer 4k if they dont have the content to display in 4k? Further example of this is HBONOW in the US does not stream in 4k
Now you could argue that they could get 4k movies but if you again look at Netflix and Amazon Prime, the overwhelming majority of the movies they have licensed from Third Parties are only in HD not in 4k.
@onlinepred: Yeah I wont be subscribing. Although dont forget these huge tech company's are playing the long game & pricing at a loss or breakeven to increase/grow subscription numbers
@PaPaGeorGeo: Yep haha, but when they are all offering around the same price, the have to keep it low to compete, so lets hope they keep competing - if they do increase, then I'll just be on one or two at a time instead of 20.
Foxtel, nah.
