To your surprise, you don't feel guilty at all. No, for the first time in forever, you feel… alive. These streaming services cost a fraction of the price Foxtel Now did, and they're smarter and more reliable. The next morning you wake up groggy from a late-night catching up on The Mandalorian on Disney Plus. You open your laptop and see a message, your heart sinks. Your service is scheduled to be deactivated for [insert date]. Until then, keep watching! You can resume your membership anytime after this date.
Well, that's nice, you suppose. Foxtel Now seems to be taking it really well. Maybe it's had a bit of time to reflect and ponder some self-improvement. For a moment, your mouse hovers over the reactivate button. Perhaps you'll pop in and see what the Battle of Winterfell looks like these days. You sigh, and drag your mouse to the top-right corner of the screen, closing the window. Maybe forever. Click here to cancel reply. Name required. Email will not be published required.

Aside from the competition from streaming services, the motivation for this move stems from the rollout of the NBN, as the cable network Foxtel uses currently owned by Telstra is being handed off to NBN Co. Foxtel has confirmed plans to turn off its cable services and move subscribers to satellite connections, claiming the shift will provide a more reliable service for customers wanting high definition programs.
For many strata schemes, Foxtel wants to charge the body corporates for its decision to move to satellite dishes and replace cable infrastructure. The company has basically stopped investing in the dying pay-TV business and is concentrating its investment on new ways of delivering its content services. The world is moving away from proprietary pay-TV services as new technologies are making such services obsolete. Internet-based broadband streaming services operate on an open system and there is, therefore, more competition.
Foxtel is trying to move the service to new technologies such as streaming video on demand SVOD. However, there is stiff competition in this market from other players such as Netflix, Disney, Amazon, Optus and Fetch.
Foxtel no longer has a monopoly and is finding it difficult to operate in a more competitive market. Such services are also struggling in North America and Europe. With access to modern technologies, the distribution of content via broadcasted pay-TV has become inefficient and very costly. All have different prices so very few people have a good understanding of what to choose from Foxtel. Others have not provided their services to multi-dwelling complexes for a number of years and it does not appear that they will be providing their service in the near future.
In order to have Foxtel connected, permission from the body corporate will need to be obtained prior to undertaking the connection. An individual connection is normally preferred because the cost of installation is only borne by those owners wishing to subscribe to the service. A group connection can be arranged, whereby one dish or a number of dishes are fitted in various locations throughout the scheme whereby each owner simply connects to the common dish located nearest their property.
Here the body corporate would fund the installation of the dishes, however this would need to be approved by the body corporate at a general meeting via a Special Resolution and due to the costs involved a Special Levy may be required to fund the installation. Foxtel does not provide individual connections to owners who reside in unit complexes, as such the only connection available is via a group connection to the building.
Unfortunately, if your strata scheme contains more than 12 units or is more than 3 storeys high, Foxtel will charge your body corporate to provide the infrastructure and to facilitate their service. Foxtel Now has been provided a range of on-demand and live channels to Australians since They provide hundreds of hours of content and many live channels for sport, documentaries, news, movies, reality tv, and more.
However, with more and more streaming services coming to market, many have decided to cancel Foxtel now and move to another service.
This is the exact same method that LinkedIn Australia has used for people to cancel their Premium subscriptions. However, this is unlike Fitness First who only let you cancel by getting in touch with one of their customer representatives. One of the biggest features that attracted consumers to the platform was its sports offerings. In saying that, there have been more and more platforms offering their own streaming services in Australia, which has caused many to re-think their Foxtel Now subscriptions and many choosing to cancel as well.
