Have been keeping an eye open for a Fetch Mini for quite some time, normally when these go on sale they are reburbished units but currently Fetch have them on sale for $49 with free shipping. These can be used alone (amazing set top box - we record, store and watch TV shows, Netflix, Stan, Prime Video etc through our Fetch Mighty.)
The Mini can be used as a standalone unit or can be linked to a mighty box and share the storage space across the devices.

The Mini is a powerful Set Top Box combining Free-to-Air TV and Catch-UP TV with the latest shows, movies, channels and apps like Netflix and Disney+. Pause and Rewind live TV, and enjoy all your entertainment in one easy place.

    Do these come with Bluetooth remotes?
    edit: Seems not - only the Mini 4K has the newer Bluetooth remotes

    How does it deliver the FTA TV out of interest? Does it need to be connected to an aerial, or is it delivered via apps/internet? I have an Android mibox, Amazon FireTV and a couple of smart TV's, but without an external aerial, I seem to have to revert to foxtel for the main FTA TV stuff.

    • Grey 13 on 25/11/2022 - 00:33

      Keen to know this as well.

      • smifter on 25/11/2022 - 00:34

        I just read the description in the link (should have done this before making my comment above). "Needs an aerial for FTA channels".

          There was a recent update that allows it to stream FTA from a Fetch Mighty on the same network that has an antenna connected.

      I've been watching FTA TV on my Mibox for over 2 years no problem. It works the same way with Google TV and FireTV. You need to first install the app tvirl (sideload or from the store if available on your device) which triggers android to display the hidden android TV app. Instructions at https://www.matthuisman.nz/2019/01/live-au-iptv-channels-on-…

        This is great advice and worked really well thanks.

        For anyone doing this make sure to use a capital letter in your EPG city

      • smifter on 27/11/2022 - 01:39

        Thanks @cohiba, this has been a revelation! Followed the instructions and got it working straight away. Much appreciated.

  • OzDorgain on 25/11/2022 - 00:37

    Any deal on the 4k version?

    why this instead of apple tv/newest chromecast (the one with remote)

    • chrism238 on 25/11/2022 - 08:30

      Apple TV (device) does not show FTA TV or record.

      • watts on 25/11/2022 - 08:37

        Fetch mini doesn’t record either.

        • chrism238 on 25/11/2022 - 08:55

          True; I keep forgetting my Mini records via my Mighty. It's quite seamless.

  • teddiebear on 25/11/2022 - 01:44

    What payment methods do they support to deal directly with fetch? Not the monthly fee for premium, just to buy the box…. does anyone have an idea?

    • chrism238 on 25/11/2022 - 08:31

      It's just a $1 signup fee. That's it.

      • teddiebear on 25/11/2022 - 09:10

        Bloody hell! That's simple lol. Thinking about getting the mini just to watch HGTV

    It's getting a bit laggy. Navigating the EPG and menus is slow.

    The pause and rewind feature doesn't work very well.

    I like it but I think it's getting to the end of it's useful life.

    I've just bought a Chromecast with Google TV and it's much faster browsing the menu and apps.

    • [Deactivated] on 25/11/2022 - 07:03

      It was laggy from day one.. get the 4K mini if possible

    • killergreely on 25/11/2022 - 07:52

      They're getting worse as new apps and features are added. I wouldn't consider one, get a Mighty or get something else.

    • metalhead on 25/11/2022 - 09:07

      Do not buy this.. new updates and apps have made it ridiculously laggy and slow to use.
      Source : I'm the unfortunate owner of one.

    Had a Fetch Mighty and it was the worst experience I’ve ever had. It’s painfully slow and had difficulty connecting to the server half the time rendering the whole subscription useless (lucky because it came free with the old Optus plan, otherwise I would never pay for this). The thing literally took about at least 10 minutes to restart and connect to the internet, hopefully this Fetch Mini can do better.

      Have never had behaviour like this on our mighty in many years of ownership. Either something up with the Optus version, your internet, or you got a dud.

        I've got two from the recent $99 deal, both been good. no slower than other PVRs I've got
        Didn't realise that some of the channels would no longer be available after a while, so I've got a bunch of recordings that I can't watch.

    Amazon Fire 4k TV Stick MAX at @$49 is much better value they also have the standard 4k for $39
    - Smaller and Faster Unit (so small, always take with me to use on the hotel TVs)
    - Supports More Video and Sound Formats, eg: Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos)
    - Nicer remote with dedicated buttons for, Prime, Disney, Netflix).
    - WiFi6
    - Single remote supporting HDMI CEC and IR to control your devices (TV\Home Theatre\FireUnit). Meaning it's family friendly, you can hide all other remotes.
    - Load most Android apps in Dev mode (eg: TiviMate, so you can stream\record LiveTV via the Internet) or you favorite IPTV Player

    This would have been useful 5 years ago but I haven’t used FTA since.
