Thread: Bloody Foxtel

When I lived in the NT when I was a kid all we had was ABC and couldn't wait for holidays to Brissy to see 'the other channels'.
I have Fox now, just the poverty pak, and other than NG & Discovery guess which channel I watch the most...

I had Austar on a 2 year contract. It finished at the end of September, I cancelled part way through October. The person I talked to when I rang to cancel said it would stay connected until the end of the month. Nearly right, they ripped me off by 2 days. Then I had more phone calls from them asking why I was cancelling and if I wanted any of their special offers. I personally would never deal with them again. Put them into the same category as lawyers and real estate agents .

We have Austar bloody useless bunch of non caring twirps, we got it for motorcycle racing, but is few and far between now, all the discovery, how to, adventure 1 animal planet, ovation, history, Nat geo are pretty good though there are a few more, one thing though with Austar is when recording it won't change channels so you can't record more than one show, which is a pain if the superbikes are on Fox sport 1 and the motoGP is on Fox sport 2

FOXTEL

Absolute waste of money

Yes it is. We've had it for 6 years and it's been getting worse ever since. We primarly got it for the AFL channel (the now defunct Fox Footy) as being ex-Victorians we love out footy

But now we don't have it, seems all pointless. Rather spend my hard earned else where, like the Rangie

I got the Foxtel Platinum package with the works and there is always something on..the only channels I didn't get were the R rated adult channels I'm happy with it


My 1000th post aaarrggh I didn't think I would get this far before being banned

We've got the austar poverty pack....

I use it mainly for CMT as background music while Im mechanicin/geeking late into the night, the brain channels when Im having a rest/just got home from work/having dinner.

and just occasionally I make a foray over to fox 8 for futurama.

As a bonus we now get super clear SBS and ABC so I also get my dr who and top gear fixes minus the snow..
