Telstra has begun to sell Fetch ā¦ fine print mentions a multiroom cost (seriously Telstra?!?) of $5/ mth (waived till August next year) ā¦ unclear if theyāll inflict this on current - especially retail - customers.
If they do, Iāll be reconsidering my customā¦

Is that an additional cost for a Fetch Mini in a second room?

Multiroom Offer
Multiroom allows you to share recordings, movies, TV shows and Channel Packs between boxes. Multiroom is charged at $5/mth per customer. From August 15th, 2023, until August 31st, 2024, customers with more than 1 Fetch box will receive Multiroom on us. After August 31st, 2024, customers must opt-in and purchase multiroom for $5/mth to continue sharing content between boxes. If Multiroom is not purchased after August 31st, 2024, any content purchased will only be available on the box it was purchased on. We will send you communications prior to August 2024 to advise you of the changes.
So you canāt share recordings across your own network?
I could be wrong but I think itās the same if you get Fetch directly now so that multi-room fee may be more because of Fetch.

Is this only a charge for those who pay the monthly fee to have a box with Telstra though, like they did with Telstra TV? Those who buy the boxes outright shouldnāt be paying a fee.

No mention of a feeā¦ and hopefully stays that way.
Except that with Fetch-via-Telstra you still have to pay for the boxes outright (albeit can be spread out over 24 months), like you did with Telstra TV [unless you had loyalty status with Telstra]. I wouldnāt be surprised if it eventually comes to Fetch retail in the future, as there may not be as much of a difference in future besides being able to be billed on a Telstra account.
The other resellers still being generally rental-based - they can pretty much still set their own prices, and the extra $10 a month you pay for the extra box probably covers that, for now at least. (Although the iiNet group still make you pay roughly half the cost of a Mini - ninety bucks - as a setup fee, AussieBB doesnāt I think.)

Has Optus pulled it from the platform yet?
Optus sport app is still on my fetch box as is the streaming channel in the TV guide

Ditto to this. Iām not sure why they donāt list it on the apps.
Nothing saying that Optus Sport wonāt keep being available when bought through other resellers/direct - for now at least. As for Fetch as sold through Telstra thoughā¦ are you in any way surprised?

No Binge?
No Optus Sport it seems if you order Fetch through Telstra.
So is the app not on there at all?

This could be interesting if itās true, it could mean that the Telstra boxes will be running different firmware to the retail and other ISP boxes - that means if Kayo/Binge/Flash(haha) make it to the platform as someone on Whirlpool has apparently said is still occurring, it will possibly only be on the Telstra boxes.
