Decent way to get Binge Basic to watch The White Lotus before it moves to HBO Max. The entire season will still air on Binge.
$4.99 (instead of $10) per month for 12 months, cancel any time.
Once HBO goes, Real Housewives of Sydney will remain to fill the void.
Yeah eff Binge and thier ads. Was almost unbearable when I was watching House of the Dragon
We recently watched an episode of great British bake-off on Binge. They played 27 ads during the show. If you’re already paying and getting more ads than free to air this is more than greed. Outrageous. Glad I chucked it in.
Oh interesting. Was about to sub for TLOU season 2 but no point now
oh is that show out already
I think it's coming out mid April
Oh lovely, another fragmentation in the streaming space for me to spend $xx.99 per month for 2 devices to stream content! Bet you it’ll come with a guaranteed subscription price increase of x% within a year to “counter the high cost of living and its impact on production and operational costs”. Happy to see this happen to binge though. Only streaming service that was unable to cast onto my 1st gen Chromecast cause their service is soooo fancy, yet they have the worst UI and UX out of all the streaming services.
"worst UI and UX out of all the streaming services"
Paramount Plus still exists
I'd strongly recommend people don't purchase this deal especially because of this. HBO Max launches in Australia March 31st, which is precisely when this deal ends. It's just a deceptive way for them to lock you into an annual subscription purchase just as most of their catalogue is going to disappear.
It’s not a locked annual subscription. It’s monthly, can cancel any time.
My apologies, yes. That's an option.
HBO that's all US programming?
Essentially, yes. Most of the draw cards for people to use BINGE was because of that very programming though. Removing all of HBO and Cinemax's programming doesn't leave all that much premium content left on the service, imo.
It still shows as $79 per year
Yep, so pay by the month and get it for $59.88 for the year (paid monthly) as per the deal. Also with the bonus of cancelling at any time and not having had to pay a year upfront.
Been offering this deal for awhile, not worth the price really.
I've been on this deal for quite a few months now and still haven't watched anything…
Well you’re a bit stupid then aren’t you.
Gullable is not a real word. So yes stupid is a better word
@jv: Look for it in the dictionary or google it (exactly how you spelt it) and tell us if you find it or not
Leave him alone. He is just special.
52 upvotes and counting, no ban.
How come when I said a stupid guy was stupid on the Tesla deal, I got the penalty box for a week?
Is it because he was a big ol' special snowflake who likes to complain about censorship, but then in the same breath, will report people online? Maybe it was just a stupid coincidence.
Even $2 a month is plenty
Binge basic i had a look at it
Its an abomination
You can't even pay me to use this shitty Murdoch-owned site…
Professional worldwide destabiliser of the US, UK and Australia.
He led the resurgence in far-right borderline Nazism in the US, put the Conservatives in power in the UK, and continues to (profanity) up Australia by casting a long shadow over any politician that tries to do a remotely progressive thing.
He deserves to die.
Such a lovely person you are FujinShu -"he deserves to die". Trashiest comment I've read on OzB
@AntonioSantino: It's a totally fair comment. If he died the world would become a better place, potentially quite significantly. (Depends on what fills the void I guess). How anyone could defend Murdoch is beyond me.
How anyone could defend Murdoch is beyond me.
You never know, to atone for his sins, perhaps he's leaving a lot of money to the poor and needy in his will?
@AlexF: Nah, he’s actively trying to change the terms of his existing family will by giving everything to his son that works as CEO of Fox, so that his evil legacy continues on.
There was a story I read, I think on the NY times, that murdoch(s)/newlimited discovered their subscriptions/views etc went up when extreme conservatives were in power.
Hence, why the products of the businesses owned by news limited work so hard to promote extreme conservative politicians and political parties.
It is all about the financial bottom line of New limited with no consideration as to the damage it does to societies like what we are seeing at the moment.
Murdock is out of the picture in the next few months.
Ah, good news then.
I still won’t sub to Binge because by then, it won’t have the HBO/Max shows.
Read as $4.99 for the year , bargain.
Per month , no thanks.
$2 a month deal is pretty regular,
especially if you have a few accounts.
So I hear..
Subscribed through the CBA offer: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/889068
Been watching Blue Bloods, just started season 5, a long way to season 14.
I'm subbed to this, the ads are crazy, my wife found them unbearable and stopped using it.
Ublock Origin on the desktop browser stops Amazon prime ads. Might work with Binge too
Amazon Prime ads have become almost as bad as Binge in my experience (and sometimes just as bad, depending on the show being watched).
If only there was a free app we could download for android tv that has every movie and tv show out there and has no buffering issues so we dont have to pay for 10 different subscription services….. oh wait there is one 😂
RD isn’t free though
Tf is an RD?
so what's it called?
Does RD still work? I thought I heard there were some issues with it moving forward a few months back….
Last time i posted it my account got banned so aint taking that bait. 😂
Best i can do is it starts with an nope. You can search it and it comes up. Actually yeah haha search the first letter and it comes up only clue you get.
Cannot figure this out, really curious, looking to unsubscribe to most streaming.
@Daffith: God here

(Admins pls dont ban me again ) :(
F*** the ads, you all need to get on Stremio
Exactly why i dont pay for even netflix anymore. To watch ads? I still have prime cos amazon but even that has ads so dont use that no more either.
Netflix has very limited ads IMO. Nowhere near the level of ads you see on 7+ or others. I dont' even mind the occasional 30 second ad during a movie to remind me to get off my bum for a bit.
I dont mind the adds on Amazon :) Gives me a chance to check my phone
Explain Stremio to me. Is it just another sub service or what's different about it? I've heard people mention it a few times
so much for it closing down a few months back too!
Stremio never closed. Just RD addon had to remove most of their library.
Not sure if it still works, but the kids profiles used to be completely free of ads on Binge Basic, so there is some kind of value there if you have kids.
Otherwise I recorded ~1min30sec of ads every 7min or so while watching Mr Inbetween. I don't know how that compares to Free to Air, but it's pretty shit. Binge also seems to frequently forget where you're up to
I tried it before. Way way way too many ads.
Yeah don't you love it how originally the promise of streaming was you pay for the service so they don't need ad revenue any more, and now you pay AND you have to watch ads. Talk about a bait and switch.
Yeah let me know when there's a binge (or HBO Max if that ever gets here) subscription deal on a plan with no ads and decent visual/sound quality.
Prime and Disney+ aren't charging double just to get basic 2025 video quality, why should any other service?
Binge Standard ($19/month) offers plenty of content in 4k (including movies, HBO and Peacock content and local dramas), and ad-free. As with all ad-free plans, live channels and live sport have ads.
I think the issue is that all HBO content is being removed at the end of March making that price a bit ridiculous.
I think some AFL games are being broadcast on Binge this season. Could be a cheap alternative to Kayo.
Only the ones on free to air TV.
Oh, I didn’t know that, but it makes sense. Back to this not being a great deal.
I'll be happy just watching whatever games channel 7 have on offer. Do many people actually watch all 9 games each weekend? I doubt it. The channel 7 games and associated footy shows look pretty good so I'm more than happy with that. Not giving Rupert any of my hard earned.
I only do binge once a year and its aways 1 to 6 month trial to catch up on stuff every year never once have I paid for binge
We've just had a month of Binge and were ready to switch it off again by the half way point of the month. We watched Lockerbie, CB Strike and the Pitt and were happy enough with that. Anyone who just lets a streaming sit there for months on end in hope of something half decent to watch are just throwing their money away.
Up to HD? The (profanity).
Basic HD with ads is a bargain?
Classic OzSpam
Anyone know what NRL games they're showing this season?
The simulcast games, specifically Thursday, Friday late and Sunday 4pm ones, plus the late Saturday game in magic round. And probably all finals game (excluding the GF). It won't include Saturday evening (last 6 rounds) or the Vegas game, as Foxtel is the designated host broadcaster of those games.
Ad tiers should be free.
With inflation, free is now $5. ;)
Exactly. No one should pay to watch ads. Sheer greed.
So am I locked in for 12 months or cancel anytime as it says for a year?
You can cancel anytime, and are billed monthly. The year refers to how long the promotional pricing lasts.
Thank you
Real Debrid + Stremio is the only way to combat all these different streaming platforms.
Piracy all over again.
Is RD still working for you even after the "purge"?
Does it still work?
You're better sailing the high seas
Best thing on Binge is the Warrior series , written by Bruce Lee and produced by his daughter , any fan of the martial arts , Bruce and his philosophy of fighting ,
and nunchaku must watch this.
Also I know theirs a few Asian people use this site ,
after watching this you will be a prouder human being for the experience ,
and also once you realise that being small means that you’re quicker than everyone else and combine that with some smarts it’s an unbeatable combination.✌️
Extra 15% cashback with NAB Goodies when you spend at least $70 at Binge. Offer closes 27 April 2025.
I signed up, but it charged my card $4.99 instantly already. I thought I would have a 7 day free trial first??
Deal is still active, current expiry date is 07/04/25 and it'll probably be extended further
I don't know about what else is on Binge but from what HBO max is taken away its got nothing of interest once they are gone. Shows start leaving the platform come 31st of March
