      @Thrift: TBH I only looked at Presto because of the free code and HD which wasn't there before. It's a long way from being a "must have" or "must renew" for me.

Couple questions

Do they have an Android app yet?

Can you watch this on your PS4 yet?

Do they have anything above SD quality streaming yet?

When I last tried it I couldn't watch it on any of my devices except my PC and the video was in horrible SD quality. Not having a PS4 app for a video on demand service was extremely short sighted. I use Netflix on my PS4 almost every day.

  They have an Android app but you can't stream on rooted devices. HD is only available on ios and android. PC is still on SD.
  - kryptoz on 13/12/2015 - 22:27
    
    or some android devices that it detects as rooted even though they have never been — that is my experience and there are numerous forums talk about their Android boxes being misdetected as rooted by the Presto app. Stan specifically mentions on the Play store that their app works with these devices, perhaps Stan mgmt are more intelligent Presto's ?

  no ps4 app, they dont want to spend any money creating apps and they only have SD mostly anyway and even the SD is fkn awful
  - Agret on 07/12/2015 - 18:38
    
    Sounds like they really want to succeed in the market…
- Sira on 09/12/2015 - 20:13
  
  They do actually have a ps4 app. Have a look for yourself!

    10 hours ago
    Overnight, local streaming service Presto released an app for PS3 and PS4 gaming consoles.
    
    Less than 24hrs before your post it was released :)
    
    The addition of Presto to the PS3 and PS4’s app library makes Sony’s consoles the only devices that can play all four Australian SVOD services, having already provided access to Netflix, Quickflix and Stan.

  You cant choose/tick at this stage. After your subscription is confirmed, choose R18+ movie, it will ask for your PIN, put in correct PIN and you should be able to watch it.
- pifts on 07/12/2015 - 00:15
  
  To play R18 content you just need the PIN to be entered before it plays i.e. you can already see the movies in the library
- Tnetennba on 07/12/2015 - 00:17

  You can't allow R18+ to be watched without entering the PIN. It's still available, just have to enter the PIN.

      should work… also, cancel it before the expiry date or you'll be charge for the next month subscription.

  This is standard. They place a hold on your card for $1 (or some varying amount) to make sure your card details are valid. This is standard practice and that $1 will come back into your account in 1-5 days.

If you want to watch a great series on Presto try Deadwood 8.8 rating on IMDB. Thirty six shows in 3 series of 12. I am enjoying it greatly right now.

Worth it for Mr Robot. Hadn't heard much about it but it's quality series…on par with Fargo and the like.

Probably the only accurate depiction of hacking in a TV series ever?

There's also The Wire, Deadwood, Walking Dead - probably some movies of interest.

Just add a reminder in your smartphone calendar to unsubscribe when the time comes

As a current Presto user after a 6 month free with signing up to a Telstra cable plan. I'd say the service isn't great but there are still some shows and movies that are worth watching. If you are getting it for free it's a sweet deal.

I've actually got in to Parks and Rec because of it and there are other quality series' on there. There are definitely questionable films on there but there are also quality films. I watched The Godfather and Part 2 in the last couple of weeks.There isn't too bad a selection of older Disney films for the kids, and big kids.

I'd say it is probably over priced for $15 a month but is nice to have when the only other option is free to air.
Sweet3st on 07/12/2015 - 12:08

Can I ask a question? My original free subscription expires in Jan 2016. Would like an extra 6 months :). Is it better to wait until next month, and try applying code then, or, cancel subscription now and try the new code? Any success stories from people with an existing free subscription that's not near expiry?

mad__llama on 07/12/2015 - 14:47

I've been trying to use Presto to watch Mr Robot on my Samsung TV via the app. What a painful experience! Was 3/4 way through an episode and the app crashed and my place was lost. Tried to get back to where I was but there is no way to seek within an episode and the app only allows FF 10-sec at a time, one skip per press.

The only solution was to rewatch the episode. First world problems I know but I almost gave up on Presto based on that alone.

Compared to Netflix the viewing experience is just terrible. Maybe they're making it bad on purpose to try and scare off any current Foxtel users who are thinking of switching out? :)
artxo on 07/12/2015 - 15:08

After earlier experiences with Presto in SD quality, which I wasn't happy with, I've just started trying it out again, and so far the HD streaming quality via ipad with airplay to an apple tv has been excellent! Clear, crisp picture. Had just one drop out in about 4 or 5 episodes of Mr Robot so far, seems to have settled at present. Definitely worth giving it another go.

If I still had my laptop working I would maybe try this.. but for now.. it seems like a nope.

Any Chromecast users that can maybe convince me otherwise.

Definitely not watching on this tiny desktop.. unless maybe things get even more worse/desperate.'

I would probably only watch it for BOB TWD and Mr Robot anyways unless they had some good comedy or action or cartoons haha lol.
