Not to mention you run more streams at far less cost including HD and 4K. Satélite infrastructure is far too costly and harder to handle.

The IQ4 is only a satellite set top unit and is not available in all homes especially in MDUs and flats
and somewhere satellite is impossible to install because of landlords/ladies not allowing it

Details are likely still under embargo for them to discuss with the public, Channelnews likely has someone internally leaking it.

News Corp reported results for second quarter of 2020/21 financial year today. On Foxtel:
As of December 31, 2020, Foxtel’s total closing paid subscribers were 3.314 million, a 12% increase compared to the prior year, primarily due to the launch of Binge and the growth in Kayo subscribers, partially offset by lower residential and commercial broadcast subscribers. 2.001 million of the total closing subscribers were residential and commercial broadcast subscribers, and the remaining 1.313 million consisted of Kayo, Binge, and Foxtel Now subscribers.
As of December 31, 2020, there were 648,000 Kayo subscribers (624,000 paying), compared to 372,000 subscribers (350,000 paying) in the prior year.
Binge, which launched in May 2020, had 468,000 subscribers (431,000 paying) as of December 31, 2020.
As of December 31, 2020, there were 265,000 Foxtel Now subscribers (258,000 paying), compared to 343,000 subscribers (334,000 paying) in the prior year.
Broadcast subscriber churn in the quarter increased to 17.5% from 16.0% in the prior year, due to fewer promotions and the roll-off of lower value subscribers. Broadcast ARPU for the quarter increased 3% to A$80 (US$58).

You clearly haven’t watched Foxtel for a while then. Their ad inventory is comparable to Freeview.

I do have FOXTEL, I think when you average it out including the movie and sports channels that generally have fewer ads, on the whole it is less.

I don’t know where they are getting this statistic from. They are a PAID SUBSCRIPTION just like Netflix and Stan and STILL HAVE ADS. Maybe if they wanted “100% as they claim” then remove ads. Nobody wants to pay for something and STILL HAVE ADS.

I agree, although I now steam most shows on Foxtel as then there are no ads.
I only watch the live channels on Foxtel in the background, when I am working or doing housework.

Their rationale is that having some ads provides for more channels.
I guess it’s finding that balance between content. / numbers of channels, ad levels and paid subscriber numbers to keep it profitable.
