Better spot for it.

 

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

Foxtel HD makes me lol. 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

Yep - even does it on the online streaming now too (Foxtel Go/Now?? is now 1080 as from a few months ago)

Foxtel Now =/= Foxtel Go

Foxtel Now is a completely separate streaming service to a Foxtel "box" subscription.

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?).

we have had 1080p HD for over a couple of years now

also, the on demand movies are 1080p as well

(subscription)

whoops, forgot to add "minimum 720p50", which includes some 1080p stuff.

 

does "Now" have select on-demand at high quality? - I haven't seen it, so can't comment 100% accurately as to which cases on-demand is different between "Go" and "Now". I only ever opened sport "on-demand" via "Go" and it's never been HD via VoD.

I think they've merged the 2 or gotten rid of one.

 

On the PC now you use the browser to watch Foxtel

I believe Foxtel Now is still being marketed as a separate product (ref: https://www.foxtel.com.au/now/index.html), but "Foxtel Go" is just now via the "watch.foxtel.com.au" website instead of a separate "silverlight" app, on a chrome-browser-capable device (laptop, pc etc) and via an iOS/Android app which still has the "Foxtel Go" nomenclature as far as I can tell.
