Yes! There's still a lot of crap on foxtel but it's soooooooo much better than only having 7,9 and 10.

We have foxtel and find it OK, not as good as Sky but certainly better than having just the normal channels. We don't have the full package, we skipped the movies and pay $75 per month. However when we moved house recently we did upgrade to the Foxtel iq, similar to Sky Plus. It costs an extra $15 per month on my package or $5 per month if you have the full package.

The only difference is that it takes longer with satellite to get through all the programs. Once you've seen them all it's onto repeats ad infinitum!

Re: foxtel........???
We get ours installed tomorrow.
$36.95 per month. No installation fee. After 3 months can keep at 36.95 or go up to $54 for the package which we get free for the first 3 months. 12 month contract.
I doubt it will be much good but it's worth it to get BBC and CNN news.

Also cost for an extra outlet (for the kids) is worth considering.
Not trying to sell it but if you have come from the UK and had Sky over there, Foxtel is a must.

Re: foxtel........???
We had sky in the UK because we lived in Wales, received Welsh tv... and we're not Welsh! So, forced as we were to watch sky, or face another episode of Pobel-y-Cym (forgive my spelling) or a whole night in with S4C, we found ourselves restricted... yes, restricted to sky only. As Wol mentioned, after a while you think it's Ground Hog day.
So imagine my delight to move to Australia and discover not only free tv, but free tv in English!
Now I'm bombarded with NCIS or CSI or 'All New' something or other and our only salvation is the ABC and Midsommer Murders. What is it with Australia's devotion to American crime shows?
Funny thing is, my dad gets fox and when I visit him I get to watch all the programs he loves, which are the ones I saw more than two years ago in the UK on sky!
