Fetch TV

Obviously the advertising will be local, just as Fetch does with the WBD, NBCU, BBC, Paramount and Disney channels.

It will just be the programming that would be from the American version.

I do wonder if Fetch would look at adding additional FAST channels or even more general entertainment channels like AXN, History or CI and Asia Food network (AFN) to the channel list in the future. With Foxtel losing channels left right and centre, additional channels to Fetch would make it an appealing change for many people I suspect.

Is there really much left available of any worth? As others have said it’s not always an option to just rebroadcast channels from another region - licensing, classification, advertising - all hurdles to overcome. Also I’m pretty sure Foxtel are no longer obliged to offer up their own channels for carriage elsewhere.

Noticed something weird happened to my recordings on my Fetch box this week.

Usually if I have recordings of a show with multiple seasons, they are listed under seasons. I had all the Bluey recordings stored so they appeared as Season 1, Season 2 and Season 3.

After the first mini-episode was recorded, it was stored under Unknown season. All good. I tried to watch the second episode this week but all of a sudden, the season structure is gone. All the episodes are listed together according to date recorded. This means there are 157 episodes but they all over the place. Also, I can’t find any mini-episodes even though they should be at the top of the list since the Sort option is set to Newest to Oldest.

I checked one other show I have stored with episodes from two seasons but it has not changed. Strange.

Anyone else experienced anything like this recently?

Sounds like there are a number of Telstra TV customers who are unhappy with what they percieve is a downgrade with their new boxes, especially given they now can’t access Binge and Kayo

It looks like Telstra TV customers were provided Gen 4 Minis - the required upgrade is “coming soon”

It’s either that or they have been given gen 5 minis. Kayo & Binge are on their but the apps aren’t active yet for some reason.

Fetch TV releases Mini G5 device | TV Tonight

The development is the first platform implementation of the innovative AndApps solution from Consult Red, and enables Fetch to easily add Android apps into the RDK ecosystem to enhance the content choice, value and user experience for Fetch customers, whilst maintaining the operator benefits of data security, UX monetisation and transaction management.

Currently available with the new Fetch Mini G5, the AndApps functionality will be added to existing Mighty and Mini 4K devices later this year

Theoretically this will get Kayo and Binge going on the Fetch boxes? But you can’t actually buy the G5 anywhere just yet (listed on JB Hi Fi as “coming soon”) and the box most Telstra users received won’t get the upgrade until later. There’s probably a way for Foxtel to break this functionality on their apps if they really wanted to as well.

[2265MHZ]

Fetch also don’t use Kayo or Binge on their website when promoting this new feature. They’re probably very aware it can be broken at any moment and Foxtel are likely to do it.

[bacco007]

I think it’s in Foxtels interest to get Binge and Kayo on as many devices as they can - yeah Hubbl (as a device) competes, but you could say the same about every other device that has those apps.

So, it looks like the Fetch software roll out has started Software Release 4.1.1. apparently named Batemans Bay ? The update will only exclude gen 2.

BBC kids and CBeebies will leave fetch on october 31

[JohnsonTV]

Fetch only extended its partnership with BBC Studios back in June this year, which covered BBC Kids and CBeebies. What caused the change of mind?

[JBar]

It must be the BBC who is dictating this. They seem to be moving all their content to streaming services only.

Fetch TV Removes BBC Kids and CBeebies by End of October

TV Blackbox understands Fetch TV made the decision to discontinue BBC Kids and CBeebies due to low viewership numbers. The cost savings generated by dropping these channels have been allocated towards maintaining access to the remaining BBC services, as part of an extended new program licensing arrangement.

BBC children’s content is set to remain available in Australia via the ABC iview and Stan platforms.

Where do the images for programs come from, the network or do Fetch source them?

[Apple75]

My fetch has this instead

Maybe it’s the app that’s not up to date

EDIT:
The Fetch app has the old pic for The Project but other shows like The Block, MKR have this years stuff

[dipper]

This is what mine shows for 10 News First

[Djohns2740]

That’s interesting I deleted the app and downloaded it again to try and fix the current problem not being able to record from my phone but no change….as good as fetch is , there are also niggly annoying things like this

[sj2450]

I mean the logos for Seven Regional is still Prime7 so i’m not surprised!
