Well the damage has been done. Had Optus dropped the prices and loosened the restrictions when it launched the offer, the backlash would not have been so great. ---

Fetch last night launched its new Mini PVR with a retail price of $149 (but will also be included in some internet packages). It is also making Presto available to subscribers (see Presto thread), adding 9Now, introducing new channel Spike from July 1 (see Spike thread), launching a new PVR set top box and new companion apps, expanding its pay-per-view library, and has renewed distribution deals with Optus and M2/Dodo/iiNet. Fetch PVR will be sold in JB Hi-Fi stores for the first time alongside Harvey Norman. ---

They gave us CNN and now a crappy app update that doesn’t allow watching recorded items from your box… Not to mention all series links disapearred so no programs recording again Where is the testing? Where is the customer service? Not many options to complain or get help (online help is next to useless) Moved from a humax box due to issues, what to swap to now??? ---

> [@Djohns2740](#): > > They gave us CNN and now a crappy app update that doesn’t allow watching recorded items from your box… Not to mention all series links disapearred so no programs recording again So in other words, the app update does not allow you to record programs from the Fetch box. Interesting. Maybe it’s because most programs are now available on catchup services like Plus7, so they are disabling the record function, forcing you to go to catchup apps to see the shows you missed (and be subjected to ads). ---

[EFTM](http://eftm.com.au/2017/02/new-fetch-tv-subscription-channel-pricing-leaked-more-channels-lower-entry-price-36835) is reporting an imminent change to the Fetch TV subscription channel pricing model which adds more channels, raises the overall price but dramatically reduces the entry price for the internet delivered channels. Mediaweek adds one of the new channels will be MTV Classic, launching exclusively on Fetch next Monday (February 27). ---

Expect a massive marketing campaign to coincide with the new pricing model. A refreshed logo and new branding slogan, “We Bring It”, will feature in the push by Fetch to go after disaffected Foxtel customers.
