How does Foxtel compare?

One of Australia’s leading pay TV providers, Foxtel was founded in 1995 as a joint venture between Fox Media and Telstra. It started by offering a 20-channel service to Australians, delivered by Telstra’s coaxial network. After acquiring the customer base of the now-defunct Galaxy TV service, it was also able to offer satellite and cable to subscribers.

Over the years, Foxtel grew rapidly and continued to add premium channels to its package line-ups that included popular television shows from around the world. By 2011, Foxtel had become the largest pay television operator in Australia, taking up over 30% of the market with 1.65 million subscribers.

Foxtel has long been known as the home of premium television in Australia. Whether you prefer popular sitcoms or the latest premium HBO content, Foxtel has secured the rights to some of the very best small-screen content.

Foxtel offers a full suite of services, including an on-demand streaming option. Those who are looking for something different from a traditional Foxtel connection can access its premium TV and movie library via its subscription service Foxtel Now, or can opt for BINGE and Kayo Sports to stream Foxtel content via the internet. Read on for more information on Foxtel's addition to the growing streaming market.

What channels and content does Foxtel offer?

Foxtel offers a huge number of channels through its pay TV service, grouped together into packages. The regular quality of channels is standard definition, with the company now finally offering HD on available channels as part of your monthly package. 2 channels dedicated to 4K content are available exclusively to Sports HD, Movies HD or Platinum HD channel packs subscribers.

While there is no specific HBO channel on Foxtel, HBO content is exclusively available through the service in Australia. You get access to HBO shows with the basic Foxtel Plus channel pack, so you don't need any add-ons to get a taste for some of the best television around. Subscribers can watch popular series like House of the Dragon, Game of Thrones, Euphoria and Westworld, as well as enjoy Foxtel originals like The Twelve or The End. Besides, you get access to content from other providers too – including reality series, news and documentaries.

On top of the Foxtel Plus channel pack, you can customise your experience with additional packs that cater to your interests. Sports HD delivers over 50 sports on 12 live HD sport channels, Movies HD brings you more than 1,000 hours of movies on demand and Favourites adds more documentaries and lifestyle shows into the mix. Finally, Kids is aimed at the youngest viewers in your household, while Platinum HD includes everything that Foxtel has to offer.

You can also add Netflix to your subscription for easy access to your content, as well as subscribe to specialty channels. All in all, you can personalise your Foxtel subscription so you don't pay extra for anything you don't need.

Foxtel subscribers can opt for a contract or pay on a month-to-month basis. If you choose the contract route, you can usually score a discount and avoid some of the installation fees.

Foxtel hardware

In order to watch Foxtel's pay TV service you're going to need a Foxtel personal video recorder (PVR) box, otherwise known as a set-top box. Depending on your package, budget and what's available at your address, that means either the Foxtel iQ4 or the iQ5. Existing Foxtel customers may have an older box, like the iQ3 or the iQ2. Subscribers use the box to navigate Foxtel, keep up with their favourite titles, record content and more.

The iQ4 box is currently the norm. Eligible customers can also get the iQ5, which doesn't require a traditional cable or satellite installation, only broadband. You will still need an aerial to watch free-to-air TV. The iQ boxes can still be connected to an existing satellite service, where a dish is already installed and working, or connected to your home internet to stream Foxtel content in internet-only mode.

Both the iQ4 and iQ5 are Ultra HD and HD capable and give you access to a whole bunch of streaming apps to have all your entertainment in 1 place, such as Netflix, Prime Video and Disney Plus. You need your own subscription to each of these streaming services though. You can add a Netflix subscription as part of your package for an extra fee. The iQ5 comes with a detachable external hard drive. You don't need the hard drive to watch Foxtel, but you need it to record live TV.

In addition to the iQ boxes, customers are also able to access content from their channel packs on a computer or mobile device using the Foxtel Go app. 2 devices can simultaneously use this streaming app, with up to 3 devices linked per account. Compatible devices include iPads, iPhones and Android devices, PC and Mac. You can watch content live and on demand when you're out and about.
