Are you an undercover Foxtel Employee?
This is basically what the pricing is now and its a joke.

Maybe could Foxtel look at getting ‘Olympic Channel’ as one of its channels in the near future?

Not sure if anyone else experienced this but attempting to tune into 7, 9 and 10 on the iQ3 and iQ4 this morning didn’t work.
It would just show the ABC News channel until about midday when it randomly flicked back to programming? I did test my antenna on my normal TV and it worked completely fine. Other people I spoke to had the same issue.

$10 a month for all channels in HD, $12:00 for multi screen on Now. They can overcharge as much as they want for pay-per-view boxing and wrestling.

You can get NASA TV for free online.
In fact, it’s on YouTube…with multiple live streams. It’s pretty cool. The playlist is here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2aBZuCeDwlQMf6xMgQAUAY_nbHAgW5jz
The channel itself:

Foxtel would probably only offer the first stream.

And me asking for Nickelodeon and Disney Channel Both in HD without Success.
That’s not the point. FTA is also free everywhere but having it on Foxtel is something I would say most subscribers would want
theres meant to be a foxtel function/event next week not to sure how big it will be.
theres a lot more information about what’s going on here:

I don’t know why the Netflix button is there… A while ago they stated Netflix was to be added onto the iQ4, and in May they said it would be in July, but there appears to be nothing after that.
Question: Is Netflix showing up on your iQ4?

That article says an announcement will be made in July and we’re only half way through that month.

HBO has announced new streaming service HBO Max will be launched in 2020.
When Foxtel’s HBO licensing agreement expires this could leave a huge hole in Foxtel’s programming if they’re unable to reach a new deal which would delay HBO Max launching in Australia.

$220 to upgrade to a IQ4, I was looking into it for my parents. No wonder they are a joke. Parents have had Platinum since 2004, and they still gauge people.

Curses!
I thought it was only $125, I would probably upgrade at that price, but not $220.
Box + Install fee. Ludicrous.
Actually, I just logged into My Account on FOXTEL and it says Upgrade fee from iQ3 to iQ4 is $125.
@TVHead I reckon if you ring FOXTEL you should be able to get them to do it for that price, maybe better.

If you threaten to cancel they’ll often give you the box for free as a way to keep you. Keep haggling.
