Ch 550- Watch the Hawks game for free on Foxtel Play
Hi all,
If you do not have Foxtel, you can watch the Hawks v Saints game for free if you have good broadband access as there is a a FREE 14 day trial on Foxtel Play at present.
https://www.foxtel.com.au/foxtelplay/index.html
You can watch every foxtel channel for free including the sports chaneels, AFL included.
I joined up yesterday and it works fine.
REMEMBER to cancel before the 14 day finishes otherwise you will be charged the monthly fee.
I will also use this to watch the first episode of the new Game of Thrones series on April 25.
Note that Fox 3 is blackouted.
Ch 550 shows the Saints game.
Enjoy

Re: Watch the Hawks game for free on Foxtel Play
I've been a Foxtel subscriber for years and i doubt i've ever been able to watch every channel.
But a free loader can, go figure.

The Saints are under review, will it make any difference to the underachievers ?

I better not mention that I will sign up in a week for 3 months free of Platinum Foxtel (and again can cancel just before with no need to continue...)

Just watching the WC v Tigers as a test.
And at least on my Sony Smart TV the picture is better on Foxtel Play than on Ch7 (free to air) when I swap between them.

Good luck to you, this sort of thing happens in other areas as well, especially the Insurance industry, rip off the loyal and pander to the prospective.saintsRrising wrote:Promos happen all the time, for all sorts of things.Wayne42 wrote:I've been a Foxtel subscriber for years and i doubt i've ever been able to watch every channel.

My workplace undercuts competitors, and the fine print says the big discount is only for the first year, relying on nobody reading the fine print.Wayne42 wrote:Good luck to you, this sort of thing happens in other areas as well, especially the Insurance industry, rip off the loyal and pander to the prospective.saintsRrising wrote:Promos happen all the time, for all sorts of things.Wayne42 wrote:I've been a Foxtel subscriber for years and i doubt i've ever been able to watch every channel.

We are encouraged to go for monthly direct debit, as folks always forget when it's due, and don't have time or inclination to check bank statements thoroughly. It's not dishonest, just good business practice.
But if you said it's immoral, I cannot disagree.
A real Sainter will pledge allegiance to the ❤ and despise the Pies, the Blues, and the Injectors.

It is dishonest, but not illegal. Maybe misleading is the word.

Re: Watch the Hawks game for free on Foxtel Play
All true. But if one plays the game and watches the fine print and the required opt-out dates etc these various deals can be very fruitful. ie I have travelled the world for some decades on my holidays and rarely have paid but a fraction to do so. ie Last year to fly to Nairobi in business class it cost my wife and I but $57 each.WellardSaint wrote: My workplace undercuts competitors, and the fine print says the big discount is only for the first year, relying on nobody reading the fine print.

You just need to be in the right part of the bell curve and you get there by seizing opportunities as they come. Churn can be a good thing.

Re: Watch the Hawks game for free on Foxtel Play
Well it doesn't work in my area - the footy channel is in their list of blackouts - in fact it IS their list of blackouts. Although you don't find that out till after you've registered.
Not only that - it's taken me an hour to find a way to deactivate the bloody account. There's a nice big 'deactivate' button on the page before you sign up. But once you're registered that button disappears and if you want to deactivate you have to access the page directly. For the benefit of other suckers, go here:
https://www.foxtel.com.au/foxtelplay/bu ... deactivate
Note also that if, like me, you have popups or ads blocked, you need to unblock them or you can click the deactivate button from now till Christmas and it will do bugger all.
I guess there's no such thing as a free match.........

Depending on your contract, if you're a telstra customer, you can get AFL Live Pass for free for the season for your ipad or phone.

Foxtel Play (as in the whole site) dropped out for a bit in the first quarter. But then came back.

Select Live at the top.

You may have to click on your RED button to see all channels.
