Could anyone tell us how much a month you pay for the full Foxtell package and is it possible to get SKY on a remote satallite dish.
Dont mean to sound ignorant but can you get broardband internet connection and how much for unlimited
Many thanks

Broadband prices www.whirlpool.net (forum )
or www.aanet.com.au - a typical provider

www.foxtel.com.au will give you package prices

you cannot get sky here - its too far round the bendy earth to bounce the siginals

Monthly subscription to the works I think is $72 per month. We don't have it as of yet but have looked into it. I don't think you can get sky. broadcasting laws and all that.
We have broadband through www.iinet.net.au you can get a bundled package with phone for $79 per month. This has a 10 gig download limit. That is certainly fine for us but not sure what you download.
Hope this helps

We have FoxTel and get SKYNEWS

austar / foxtel have a lot of the same channels as Sky....no cbeebies though UKTV is on there if you need a fix of things like Eastenders, Holby City, Footballers Wives.....etc. They also have BBC World. Price is a lot more reasonable here than I remember it being in the UK.

Hmmm, price for us was about the same. 27.99 in the UK, $69.99 here.

So, uhhm 27.99*2.4 = $67. Ok a tad more expensive here, and you don't get as many channels as the UK.

Can anyone answer a daft, Foxtel related query for me? If you watch one of the pay-per-view things on Digital Main Event, can you video it, or is there any form of scrambling? Having persuaded The Bloke to let me pay to watch a couple ot hings I'm just wondering whether we can video them too.

Don't bother its shite! But then again being able to watch world news is for me a plus, not sure its worth the $75 though. They still do the annoying adverts on it and the drivel they put on it is amazing. To bulk up the channels theres lots of ABC ABC+2, Fox, fox+2 same stuff just time shifted. If you are going to get it don't do what I did! To save a measily few bucks I signed up for 2 years just to get the installation for free! Now i'm stuck to the tune of $1800 before I can get rid of it. I could have bought sh*t loads of DVD's for that!

No you can't video it.

And theres no favorites button, not on mine anyway. I have to cycle through all the drivel god,shopping,cooking channels to get to the one I want. One day I'll remember the channel numbers.

Ever thought of using the EPG?

Thats what I was afraid of.
Thanks for the quick reply - am now off to warn The Bloke and the MIL that I will be in possession of the TV tomorow afternion, and if they don't like Last Night of the Proms, they'd best leave now!!!!

What use would the Electronic Pong Game be? Seriously though, the EPG is fine but the favorites button would have been better.

I like the favourites button too but there's not really enough channels on Foxtel to warrant it probably

Oh yes you can, me ole son.

You use a wireless sender to send it to your computer, or even hardline it in and remove the macrovision


Shrink dvd would do the job.
