Foxtel

[Yosemite Sam]

Foxtel have ceased their cable service. It would be nice if they told
their customers tho, as I had to ring to find out why I had no picture.
the good news is they give you a new IQ5 box that runs off the internet
for free. Bad news is I have no foxtel until I get it.

Are they still showing advertisements in the middle of content that
you're paying for?

Sylvia.

[Yosemite Sam]

yes. they show advertisements in everything except movies, afaik. I
guess if there were no ads the subscription would be much higher.
however, with any show that's live, you can restart it by pressing the
red button so you can skip ads. you can also schedule record or download
shows to do the  same. find what you want to save using search
including  voice search, on actors or movie titles, or from the menues.
btw, it was reported in the media recently that Netflix is considering
inserting ads into their content.

Netflix is considering offering lower subscriptions to those willing to
accept ads. I don't think Netflix is insane enough to think they can
just inflict ads on their existing subscribers.

Why is aus.computers any more relevant to a thread about foxtel, maybe
aus.tv would be a better choice.

Even more so when you look at the cost, almost 3 times the price of Netflix.
I have access to Netfix, Kayo, Stan, Disney and Prime, we share the cost
and the logins amongst the family, I pay for Netflix, Prime and Disney
and the total cost of the 3 is still less than Foxtel.

If their equation were as simple as that then unless they're paying
for your internet connection now, the subscription should have gone
down.

Before you were paying to get the content delivered to your TV. Now
you're paying to be able to access the content via the internet
service that you (presumably) have to pay your ISP for. You
obviously already had the internet, but if your bandwidth/data
allowance isn't enough to cover the extra traffic for Foxtel, it
could easily cost you more.

From Foxtel's side, they're obviously turning off a massive ammount
of infrastructure which was probably costing a huge amount more
than the cost of running internet video servers. If your logic
held, then they'd pass that saving on as lower subscription fees.
But they won't, because just like with the ads they'll charge
whatever they think their customers are willing to pay.

how typical of you to offer nothing but criticism and insults rather
than thanks for some information that might be useful. how much OT stuff
have your mates loonsey and gwumpy posted here? no complaints criticism
or abuse for them! you're more than happy to talk about photography or
whatever other irrelevant stuff to aus.cars they've posted. hypocrite
much? yes you are! and what does it matter if there's no OT prefix?
anyone with half a brain can see from the topic that it's OT.

how would that work then from their end? would they run two servers one
with ads and one without? btw, the two options foxtel offer are an IQ4
via satellite or an IQ5. however the IQ5 box has no FTA channels so an
external antenna is needed for them, which is not a problem for me.

My IQ4 also requires an antenna connection for free to air TV. So did
the previous IQ box.

[JONZ]

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yairs, therefore the obvious Q is *why* do you hang around aus.cars???.
>

[Yosemite Sam]

the IQ3 doesn't have and antenna socket, and only some of the FTA
channels. it also doesn't have any RCA sockets to record to external
sources, like the previous one did, IQ2 I think. apart from recording,
ppl used to use the rca's to connect video senders to watch foxtel in
other rooms, which meant of course they didn't have to pay foxtel to
rent another connection. and being able to record to external sources
meant you could edit recordings and post them to youtube, for example.
for both those reasons I guess that's why the new boxes don't have RCA
sockets.

btw, I hope you don't pay top dollar for your foxtel? because they are
under such competition from streaming sources they will negotiate on
prices. I've paid only discounted rates for many years.

[Sylvia Else]

I'm sure they run multiple servers anyway, but I don't see that that
would be needed just to insert advertisements into a stream. It would
depend on a data item in their subscriber database. If it's ads=yes,
then ads get inserted. If it's ads=no, then they don't.

Sylvia.

[Yosemite Sam]

Ok

[Yosemite Sam]

as a follow up.. I didn't realize aus.tv was still current. last time I
looked some time ago there was virtually nothing there, but checking now
I see there's current traffic.

https://tinyurl.com/Yosemite-Sam

so the plan will be to hack their database. I'm sure keefy can help with
that.  :)

[Xeno]

As a source for *relevant* TV information/discussion, there are much
better *active* resources - none on usenet.

Given the topic also covered streaming on the internet via Foxtel Go,
your topic was *on.topic* with respect to aus.computers. Lots of people
stream TV on their computers and devices these days, myself included. I
even have installed all the FTA TV apps.

[Rod Speed]

But there is quite a bit of evidence that they have got
that wrong given the big drop in their revenue stream.

[Rod Speed]

I'm not sure why people are so interested stupidly expensive Foxtel.

It is mostly just just sport shit which isnt american or pommy junk. .

[Sylvia Else]

Given that that's unlawful anyway, there must be more lucrative ways of
exploiting hacking skills. I'd be willing to subsidise someone's Netflix
subscription if they can demonstrate that they've hacked into Russia and

Back when pay TV was first available Foxtel more or less had a monopoly
but now there is lots of competition so their high fees just don't make
any sense.
Its even possible that they could increase their overall revenue by

I think you might be making a false argument there Trevor. I don't
believe many Foxtel customers would actually pay to watch ads. They
would pay to watch the shows they want to watch, and the ads are thrown
in whether they like it or not.

Seeing as you know squat about Foxtels' programming and contractual
broadcast rights then your "quite a bit" actually equates to 'bugger all'.

In my case, a fair bit maybe up to two subjects a month..., BUT 90% of
it is marked "OT". Your leader even corrected me when I missed one post,
yet didn't have much to say when I showed him half a dozen of his own
new posts that wern't marked. Suprise!

Tommy plays wannabe net-cop re Grumpys post that WAS marked OT, and
therefore legitimate to this or any group, yet said nothing about yours

It matters to those who simply use the prefix "OT" to filter/remove
posts marked as such, so they dont even see them, simpleton. Ask Alvey.

So, wannabe net-cop, give him a spray for 1; crossposting, and 2:
posting to an *off.topic* group without using the prefix in the subject
header. You had a crack at Grumpy for doing the same thing and he ,
didnt crosspost, AND he used the prefix "OT". All legit.

You wouldn't know if you didnt subscribe to some of them. Mate (name and

so many benefits that i couldnt be buggered typing them all out, but a
series thats only available on Prime called "Reacher" is worth it
alone. As a newbie to it, loving it. excellent value for the money.

Same here.

Had Foxtel for years until there were alternatives, and as soon as there
was I flicked it and will never be back. These days I have Netflix,
Stan, Amazon Prime and one or two others for *way* less than the cost of
Foxtel alone, with the added bonus of there not only being way more
content that what Foxtel were dishing out but I can watch what I want
*when* I want to watch it.

Yeah, that's nice, but what in the blue fuck does it have to do with
*aus.cars*? Remember a mere 6 days ago when this this useless vegetable
had *nothing* of value to add to a thread (as usual) but posted this
load of rubbish in response to an aus.cars regular making an off topic post:

...yet now when one of his brain dead subordinates does the same thing
but adds to the mix by cross posting it into *another* irrelevant group
this blithering imbecile not only thinks it's okay but goes to the
trouble of inventing all kinds of ridiculously hypocritical excuses for
doing so.

Hey Felix? Next time you do something as retarded as this see if you can
cross post it into as many groups as possible. That way a great many
people will get to see that you and Clasener are two of the thickest
fucktards to have access to a keyboard.

[lindsay]

I'm also Australian, (not that it makes a difference) and am profoundly
embarrassed that FTA TV in Australia thinks that the majority of average
punters would admit to enjoying the absolute slop that they dish up
under the guise of entertainment. There's a reason that the likes of
Foxtel, Netflix, Prime are doing so well, and Alf Stewart isnt it.

And lo-and-behold, they have an awards nite for it. "The Logies".... A
simple waste of space. Patting themselves on the back.

> But each to their own.  I went through phases where I hated all those
> shows.

I've grew out of "phases" a long time ago. I remember when Aus TV was
entertainment. Remember The Penthouse Club? John Torv's Music Video
show? Hey Hey it's Saturday? The Don Lane Show? Kevin Dennis New Faces?
Blankety Blanks? Great Temptation and then Sale of the Century?

Yet now we have a bunch of mindless dribble, that we're told are rating
successes; "back due to popular demand" like Big Brother. No wonder pay
tv is doing a roaring trade.... coz FTA is rubbish.

Lie. You were years behind in streaming Fraudster.

But do tell the nice people what you flicked Foxtel for Fraudster.
Being rhetorical there, I know you won't, so I will! Yes folks, the Bumhole
