        Nah - 2 weeks of free drama = 3 eps of GoT = signing up to watch the remainder…

    When they stop charging for HD content then i'll be interested, until then its Channel Torrent for me

      I'm sure you'll find another excuse should HD be included in the standard price.

          Their ridiculous pricing or recycled scheduling would be my next bet. All valid excuses.

        It's OK, pirates spend more money on media than non-pirates.

      ring up and have a whinge, threaten to cancel and they'll give you HD free.

      I don't pay for HD.

      • ellave on 22/04/2016 - 14:58

        last time I tried they gave me nought, I only have a basic package these days

      • jelko on 22/04/2016 - 14:59

        It's definitely worth asking. Their retention team can do great deals if you threaten to cancel.

    • NeggerOfDeals on 23/04/2016 - 14:06

      It's 2016. YouTube has been letting us upload 4k content for free for years now.

    • Ramrunner on 24/04/2016 - 09:49

      Pff. Even then. I'm only interested in motorsport now that 10/One has abandoned us but I still cannot justify a minimum of $60p/m (base package + sports pack + ability to record when races are middle of the night) for only the channel 506 (and, granted sometimes 505).

      And even then, yes, it's in crappy blurry quality.

      I wish I had the power to get everyone to boycott Foxtel completely and force a re-think of their consumer model, but while they have the exclusive rights to GoT, F1/V8s there will always be customers willing to pay unfortunately. (And that's nothing personal I realize for most of you this is all well within your budget so go for it)

      For me personally it's a sad state when competition is quashed with exclusive deals so these prices will remain high, and people will continue to pay.

  • smashed on 22/04/2016 - 15:04

    I moved address and they added HD without me asking.
    I told them after a month when I was billed and they sent an email confirming my new package without HD.
    I emailed to complain about being charged (as they refused to sort it over the phone) and have heard nothing for a month.
    My new bill has HD on it again for next month.. useless

    TLDR… Foxtel don't know their arse from their elbow.

    • miicah on 22/04/2016 - 15:17

      Lol why would you tell them you were getting free HD? When we first signed up for Foxtel in like 2002, they gave us a month trial of the movies package, which lasted for two years.

      • dfragar on 22/04/2016 - 15:33
        +2

        I think smashed's point was they were being charged for HD, despite having not requested it (in the first instance) then asking for it to be removed (in the second).

        If Foxtel instead had simply removed the charge for HD while leaving the capability, I don't think they'd be complaining.

        • smashed on 22/04/2016 - 15:45
          +1

          Correct. They added it and charged me.

          I would assume that Foxtel are giving free drama out to hook customers who may well cancel as soon as EPL finishes in a couple of weeks (given that Optus take it going forward).

  • PDeez on 22/04/2016 - 15:12

    I watched The Walking Dead on Foxtel and it was a horrible experience. The resolution for SD is pretty crappy, plus the show started late as there were ads running for about 5 minutes (and I think there was an ad in the middle of it too). Contrast that to a nice 720p rip which is hands down a faster, easier and more immersive way to watch the show and I think I will pass on Foxtel ruining Game of Thrones with an inferior experience.

    • jelko on 22/04/2016 - 15:17

      Everything is SD is 'pretty crappy'. That's a given. That's why people subscribe to the HD pack.

    • nnolan on 25/04/2016 - 01:36

      are 720p torrent downloads better than foxtel quality ?

    In case anyone is wondering…

    It costs $20/month to add the drama pack to your package.
    I just looked it up :)

      The foxtel go is excluded to optus tv but I believe the channel should be opened up for optus tv

    Pay for TV? Maybe when it didn't have ads I would. In fact I did. But that was 20 years ago now :D

  • llamaesque on 22/04/2016 - 19:46

    Not that I'm opposed to free content, but are these channels HD? I was happy at the thought of being able to watch some new GoT easily on Foxtel but if it's SD I'll just download it instead.

    • nnolan on 25/04/2016 - 01:36

      are 720p torrent downloads better than foxtel quality ?

    • Silicon Wizardry on 25/04/2016 - 06:50

      For me, they play worse than SD - and I have a >100 connection. Stuttering, pixellated and audio getting out of sync. Worse on computer (ugh silverlight) but still there on an iPad Pro. Netflix and Stan play perfectly by comparison. And you can't airplay to a big TV. Utter, utter rubbish. I'm cancelling my trial.

      • nnolan on 25/04/2016 - 10:51

        I couldnt beleive how bad the quality was on foxtel go it looks like im watching in 360p and i have a decent connection stan and netflix play smoothly in HD

  • reneecatherine on 25/04/2016 - 10:10

    Drama channels are now working on our IQHD but not through Foxtel Go. Anyone else having issues?

    • nnolan on 25/04/2016 - 10:48

      yeah im having the same problem the drama channels arnt working on foxtel go ! just when i wanted to start GOT

  • nnolan on 25/04/2016 - 10:49

    foxtel go drama channels not working anyone know how to fix this ? its working on my foxtel iq box

    • reneecatherine on 25/04/2016 - 11:03

      Are you through Telstra? We are and I'm wondering if that's why - no mention of an exclusion in the ad though

      • nnolan on 25/04/2016 - 11:18

        yes iam thats so unfair if telstra customers cant access it on foxtel go !

        • reneecatherine on 25/04/2016 - 11:21

          I agree but they are impossible to talk to about Foxtel issues!

        • nnolan on 25/04/2016 - 11:28

          @reneecatherine: have you tried the drama packs on foxtel anytime on the iqbox ? does that work ?

        • reneecatherine on 25/04/2016 - 11:35

          @nnolan: I haven't but I just logged out and logged back in for the second time today and it is now working! I spoke with Telstra who have said it is not excluded so should work and if it doesn't to jump on chat and they'll fix it. Try logging out and back in!

        • nnolan on 25/04/2016 - 11:46

          @reneecatherine: thanks il try logging in and out a few times

  • nnolan on 28/04/2016 - 18:35
