Foxtel

Looks like a temporary name change for Movies Hits. They mention Hits in the 13th October channel changes so it will probably disappear by then.

Ok, that makes sense. I just had another and noticed Movies hits wasn’t there.

My dad demanded we get Foxtel because we don’t have good reception via our antenna. Illogical, costs longer in the long run, but that’s the way we have to go…

Is the Foxtel guide out for anyone else? Obviously something to do with daylight savings, but it seems to be displaying the show that will be on in an hour from now? Is the case on the Foxtel Go app and my Foxtel Now box.

It changed from 7TWO to 7mate a few years ago now.

Yeah, I think it was in 2016 (and no doubt for AFL coverage-related reasons) that 7TWO was replaced with 7mate via Foxtel satellite?

I find foxtel bad value especially for the basic channels - most are foreign

Why are the Foxtel Movie channels so exclusive and so expensive? :frowning:

You could argue the same thing about Foxtel’s entertainment offering in general. An archaic linear platform that relies on its loyal customers who don’t know any better.

The entertainment lineup after October 13 looks good. Documentaries will be part of Entertainment it seems (probably still accessed through the News & Doco menu though? Hope not)

ABC News may still be buried - who would have thunk, but they’re still playing the same game with the US news channels. Fox before CNN - and only Fox in HD, hmmmm wonder why…

Also noticed, they’ve left room for 9Rush and 10Shake if 9 and 10 ever wanted to stump the cash for them to be added in.

Are they moving docos out of its own paid addon?

yeah if i wasn’t paying less than the advertised price (I pay $99 p/m for platnum across 2 boxes) i would have dumped it ages ago. if i can’t keep getting the special deals i get i have no hesitation in dumping it

i wonder after the 13 of this month will the be changing the bundles?

If it wasn’t for the NBN bundle which works brilliantly, then the channels are a farce on the basic channel and many on the entertainment bundle, those shows can be found on 10PEACH etc.

Also why is TLC channel different to the fetch one - there’s no crime shows? I know there’s a crime package but those titles dont exist in there and again means i have to pay more.
