Me and Keith bickering in a public thread could turn away potential members. Putting it in the donating members area means they're already hooked and probably used to us two grandmothers going back and forth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They charge $10 extra per month for 720p like it's 2004 or something. 1080p has been the standard for ages now, and 4k the little extra. God I hate Foxtel! I subscribe to foxtel I pay the extra 10 bucks for HD the HD is 1080p with 5.1 surround sound I think you are referring to the original foxtel box which was sh*t Edited 03/02/19 03:02 AM by bloodycrashboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxtel Go is the streaming package that you get alongside a Foxtel "box" subscription. They are basically the same "streaming service" though, in terms of content. They both changed to 720p50 a few months ago on "live" channels, but if you watch anything "on-demand" then you get the old crappy SD 576i (that you used to get on both "live" streaming services up until that cut-over date for "Go" and much earlier for "Now" - maybe even it's inception?).

I only ever opened sport "on-demand" via "Go" and it's never been HD via VoD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the PC now you use the browser to watch Foxtel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
