Yes foxtel movies been free for a week. I tbink theyâve done this before. I donât subscribe to them on foxtel now but theyâve been showing up all week. Still havenât watched a movie on it. Thereâs never anything decent scheduled.
A lot of people there are complaining they canât access the movies after receiving an email saying they could. Then someone responded:
Did you all read the fine print in the dark section? It says the offer is only available to customers on the new Foxtel pricing structure which started on 3rd November 2014. So if you have been a customer since BEFORE that date (like I have), then we arenât eligible.
But that is not true. I became a subscriber 14 years ago, when Foxtel was analogue.
that is a hell of a lot of repeats âŚ
For HFC customers, satellite customers have been digital since well technically November 1998 however if you include those customers who were Galaxy (including ECTV/CETV which went on to become AUSTAR) that means as far back as June 1995.

many many times before, does anyone remember the âUnlocked weekendâ when someone who case the CA switched off Newscrypt so all you had to do was unplug HFC from the analogue set top box and plug it in (using a F-Type to Male RF adapter) your TV and then scan, all channels were open from Friday at around 8pm till Monday morning at 5am.
That was during the switch over from Pyrmont to North Ryde in 2004.

Thatâs why the value of the Movies package now lies in itâs on demand library - only problem is the package is still overpriced

yep thats about right Bacco007 as last time they were opened up was September last year during the school holidays
From memory you had to ask Foxtel to move to the new pricing structure - I know of a few people still on old Austar plans
I donât remember if I moved or not. Maybe I did if it was cheaper.
Does anyone know when the free movies end?
ETA: just saw 19th. Darn want to watch something on 28th.
Dillon Hicks has quit as Foxtelâs head of production to join Sydney media agency The Pulse as its new head of production.
Im surprised no one here has seen this yetâŚ
