How much is foxtel?

[Adz]

I've had foxtel this year but it has recently been cut off. I didn't pay for it but it was awesome having fox sports for the footy.

How much is like a years subscription with fox sports. I don't particularly care about other stuff.

Ever heard of going to their website and looking for yourself?

You can't just subscribe to FoxSports by itself.

 

[Soul_Pie]

I would've subscribed to foxtel if you were able to get foxsports on its own. I have no interest in any of the other channels.

 

[warney7]

At a guess, probably $700 a year

Not only do you have to get the basic package, if you want fox sports that's an extra $18 or so a month!

Foxtel.......for the people!

 

[Chodders]

I pay about $80 a month for my Foxtel. Well and truly worth it. I am currently enjoying the Austrlian tour of India along with great footage of the Spring Carnival through TVN and Sky Racing.

You are probably looking at about $60 a month for foxtel in one room with the sports package as well as the basic package. You have to have the basic package.

Installation can add extra setup costs but there are often delas to get free installation if you sign a contract for set period of time.

 

[wirra44]

$56 per month for just the basic package and the sport channels.

 

[folester41]

yeah wirra is spot on.

but if you ring up to get it again make sure you mention the one year contract deal that you saw on the net because when we rang up to book it last time they tried to dog us into a 2 year deal and the person from foxtel tried to say the 1 year deal didnt exist.

 

[Geoffa32]

We have everything bar HD and Setanta

$116.00 per month. If your going to get Foxtel, get IQ (unless you have a hard drive recorder) as it is value to record stuff you miss out on and watch later. I rarely watch something the time it is shown, apart from sport though.

 

[Adz]

God, it's expensive.

I reckon we only pay about $45/month for Austar, that was with a free install and no contract. I get the regular lineup of crap plus the sports. (not setanta - who cares about that crap anyway..)

You got Fox Sports 2,3 and ESPN


The way Foxtel structure their packages they amke you get channels you dont want for ones you do.

I dont watch much of the other channels, watch movies too, but the missus enjoys Areana and W channel and the channesl in the 600 range ie news and doccos are good value. Comedy Channel good too.

Magpie there is a loophole.

Get the platinum package. Get multi room. Give your extra box to a friend who has an existing cable connection in their house(most do). Split the bill in half.

Get a third box, give it to another friend, split the bill again.

Get a fourth box, do same as above.

You can get your household bill down to slightly less than $40 a month(each extra box adds $10 to total account costs so you cant simply divide the total price by 4). Furthermore, your friends will be paying $40 per month at their places and they will thank you for it.

I did it for 7 months, yet a friend who Im moving in with now works at foxtel and fox employees get it free.

I also got Fox 1.

Dont get the comedy channel, movies or half the docos.

As long as the sports, tv1, fox8 and w work all are happy.

 

[Daz]

Also get IQ if you can, well worth the money

 

[strategy]

God, it's expensive.

If you went and visited all the sports , now that would be expensive .Imagine all the plane costs etc , accomodation etc

Foxy is ok .Less commercials .

 

[gangsta deluxe]

Not expensive guys. Use my strategy illuminated in page 1 and it is cheap.

Trust me it is worth it.

 

[rickyp]

Ignore most of what people have said, here are the raw numbers

Basic package $40
Sports package $16

thats the minimum you can get away with

IF you want ESPN HD and Fox Sports HD, add another $20p/m + $200 installation

 

[MaccaKnowsBest]

My contract expires in Feb next year. Has anyone on here haggled a good deal for a new contract once their old contract expired?

You don't need a new contract. Just pay by the month for whatever you use once your contracts finished.

 

[Daz]

Yeah, but if you call to cancel your contract (after it's expired) they offer you all kinds of deals to get you to stay.
