    Several of my clients got a rude shock after being migrated over to these that there's no Binge or Kayo available.

    These are not good. Even when they were giving them away, was too expensive .. rather buy a Firestick or GoogleTV

      Thanks for Saving me fifty bucks ;)

    • edBARGAIN on 26/02/2025 - 15:59

      Thanks wanted to ask this

      So which one is better google TV or fire tv?

      • jv on 26/02/2025 - 16:13
        -1

        Get the new Google TV

        New Fire TV 4K Max when you can get it at 50% off a lot of the time. The new Google streaming device is over-priced in my eyes.

      Personally, I find them a pretty good deal at $48. Some of the things that Fetch provide that you can't do on Firesticks etc:

      • Record FTA TV from your antenna-sourced channels, which allows you to fast forward through the ads when viewing

      • Access all FTA channels without an antenna direct from the TV guide, not using a catchup app. It's just like you had an antenna attached.

      • Premium Channel packs available much cheaper than Foxtel. $6 per pack, or all 4 packs (50ish channels) for $20. If you get value from Discovery, Turbo, ID True Crime, MTV, BBC Drama etc, this is one of the cheapest ways to access them.

      • You can share one account with 3 boxes, and they don't have to be at the same address. So I subscribe to the Ultimate Channel Pack, and my parents who live 400kms away get to access them all as well. If any of us buy or rent a movie, we can all access the movie.

      • It aggregates all your streaming services quite nicely. You can search for a movie title, actor, genre, whatever you like, and it shows you everything you currently have access to, from FTA channels, catchup apps and Streaming apps you're subscribed to.

      But, I concede that if you don't watch FTA TV and/or aren't interested in streamed linear channels, then I wouldn't buy one of these.

      • INFIDEL on 26/02/2025 - 16:45

        • Record FTA TV from your antenna

        No! FETCH Mini CAN'T RECORD FTA TV
        Fetch Mini doesn't have the ability to record content. However, you can pause a TV program you're watching. If you leave the channel paused, it will automatically go back to playing live after 15 minutes.

        Requires a Fetch Mighty with HDD to do that!! Which I enjoy using. Cost $99 in Deal here.

        • AssociatedWimma @ Telstra on 26/02/2025 - 17:05

          What was that fetch mighty for $99 sorry? From here? Shows $396 for me
          I have a couple minis, would like a mighty to stream FTA to them

          • INFIDEL on 26/02/2025 - 17:10

            @Wimma: Deal 2 years ago.
            FETCH were clearing 4G model
            Dropped to $79 for a Mighty - from Fetch.
            Listed as "refurb" but were new in box, latest remote, 12M warranty.

      • jammy2006 on 26/02/2025 - 17:03

        I use mine like once or twice a year to watch FTA on my second monitor at my desk.

      • sarakoth on 26/02/2025 - 18:08

        Premium Channel packs available much cheaper than Foxtel. $6 per pack, or all 4 packs (50ish channels) for $20. If you get value from Discovery, Turbo, ID True Crime, MTV, BBC Drama etc, this is one of the cheapest ways to access them.

        This.. I finally got rid of Optus NBN and the only downside was losing my free/cheap Fetch Mighty and the wife has lost access to HGTV and a few other channels we used to get and I have not been able to source them from any other streaming service (which suprised me).. so thinking this might be a cheap way to get those channels back.

  • Shunter86 on 26/02/2025 - 15:45

    As someone who owns a seldom-used Fetch Mighty, I might still consider picking up one of these on the cheap so I can use it to receive my Mighty's FTA aerial feed in another room where I don't have an outlet.

    Pretty much for State Of Origin, the NRL Grand Final, and the USA feed of the Super Bowl only. 😂

    • scottb721 on 26/02/2025 - 16:01

      Is your Mighty from Telstra too ? Apparently you can't mix and match boxes from different providers. Happy to be corrected.

      • ayoole on 26/02/2025 - 16:21

        Fetch boxes provided by ISPs other than Telstra (Optus/iiNet etc) can only communicate with boxes provided from the same ISP.

        Telstra-provided Fetch boxes like the ones on sale here can be unlocked to use as standard retail boxes. So if you already have another Fetch box you bought from JB or the Good Guys, for example, you can connect that to a Telstra-provided box.

        • dogget6 on 26/02/2025 - 16:27

          so to buy it i just need to have a telstra account with phone or what ever to unlock and get it going, then i can use data from another provider to stream stuff? wanna get for my parents. im with telstra but they now.

          • ayoole on 26/02/2025 - 16:34

            @dogget6: Correct. Once you activate it from a Telstra account you can just get Fetch to unlock it. Unlocked or not, the box doesn't care where the data comes from. I use Superloop NBN with my boxes, my parent are on the same account but have Telstra NBN.

        • Will146 on 26/02/2025 - 17:01

          I have a Optus Mightly already. If I buy one of these, will it piggy back off the mightly so I can receive FTA in another room?
          Or because they would be from different ISP, they wouldnt communicate?

  • boxall on 26/02/2025 - 16:23

    The Fetch world is a world of pain and anxiety! I have had a mighty and mini before and they are just horrible devices. Full of bugs and unreliable.

    • INFIDEL on 26/02/2025 - 16:55

      Enjoy my $99 Mighty. In use every day.

      • bazingaa on 26/02/2025 - 22:40

        me too, it is more sensitive than the TV tuner.

  • GrandMaster on 26/02/2025 - 16:33

    No dice. They might just remotely disable these in a year or two like they did the Telstra TV/Roku devices.

  • Coops1 on 26/02/2025 - 17:15

    All the negativity for fetch on here is just a few in the minority. Having come thru from TiVo to Fetch, they work great, with regular software updates, no bugs etc!

    You need a mighty to record FTA, which can then be streamed to a mini in the bedroom etc. has the majority of main stream apps that other platforms have.

    Do yourself a favour and buy a mighty when it’s next on sale for $99 (refurbished).

  • Be careful on 26/02/2025 - 17:32

    Pretty sure this is the fetch mini 4K and not the fetch mini k g5.
    Nothing on Telstra page says g5.
    You can see the difference between the mini 4K and mini 4K g5 on the fetch site

  • Davbar24 on 26/02/2025 - 17:37

    I got mine free from Telstra and still binned it, horrible to use went back to Chromecast and fire stick, at least I can get Kayo on those.

    Even the Telstra TV was better

    While the deal is good, I'm negging on the product.
    I had a one and the updates made the Fetch Mini box unusable.
    With one update they made it go from a reasonable tool to unworking.
    I asked for a replacement for my previously working box but they said it was oit of warranty. I said they came into my house and broke it.

    Avoid at all costs.

      yes same here. do not buy this junk e-waste!

  • chrism238 on 26/02/2025 - 17:50

    I have a Mini and a Mighty, linked to support recording of FTA. (If you have a Mighty) $48 for a Mini is a v.good price.

  • imp on 26/02/2025 - 22:14

    Have a Fetch Mighty which is buggy but works most of the time.
    Had 2x Minis. Terrible. Thought the first was faulty so go the second to replace it.
    These units are S L O W. Loading Aps takes ages. Keypresses can take 20 -30 seconds to register.
    Dont waste your money

  • bazingaa on 26/02/2025 - 22:41

    are they retail boxes or network-locked?
