Foxtel INSIDER


This month, ALICE MASCIA, Chief Product and Strategy Officer at Foxtel, explains seven


ways to get the most from your subscription thanks to Foxtel’s latest innovations


Q:


What is Foxtel GO


and how do I get it?


A:


Foxtel GO is Foxtel’s


mobile streaming


service, which lets you


stream programs from


your subscription in


HD, through a laptop,


smartphone or tabletπ.


You can stream


simultaneously on two


devices, allowing you


and your family members to watch live


sports or binge movies and TV shows,


whenever you want and wherever you


are. The best part is that it comes as part


of your Foxtel subscription at no extra


cost. And if you are a Multiroom customer,


you can ‘cast’ programs from your device


and watch them on the big screen with


Chromecast and AirPlay. Download the


Foxtel GO app or, for more information,


visit foxtel.com.au/foxtelgo


the series if available.


When you select this


option, your iQ box will


record all future episodes of a season


automatically. We’ve also introduced


Team Link, which lets sports lovers with


iQ3 and iQ4 boxes schedule recordings


for every upcoming game involving their


favourite team. The Team Link function


works with Foxtel’s coverage of every


game of the NRL, AFL, AFLW, A-League,


Super Rugby and NBL.


Q:


What does streaming and On


Demand mean? Do I need a special


TV? What’s the benefit of streaming?


A:


Simply put, streaming is the delivery


of Foxtel content via the internet,


be it through wifi or a direct connection


to your household router. Streaming really


enhances your Foxtel subscription by


opening up a wealth of movies and TV


shows from our On Demand library that


you can watch where and when you want.


Subscribers can stream on iQ4, iQ3 and


Foxtel GO, as well as download shows


and movies on older internet-connected


boxes such as iQ2. Connect your box now


and enjoy a new world of entertainment,


at no additional subscription cost.


Q:


What’s the benefit of watching


sport on 4K Ultra HD and how can


I access it? Will there be more sport


broadcast in 4K Ultra HD this year?


A:


Yes, and then some. Cricket in


4K Ultra HD was just the beginning.


A massive line-up of the 2019 winter sport


codes is now available in 4K Ultra HD,


with select match-ups across NRL, AFL,


Super Rugby and Women’s Football


lighting up Australian living rooms. The


Formula 1 series is available in 4K Ultra


HD, as well as the biggest sporting event


of the year, the 2019 Rugby World Cup


in Japan. Foxtel’s 4K Ultra HD comes


at no additional cost for SPORTS pack


subscribers with the HD pack and iQ4#.

Q:


How do I remotely record


a TV show or movie?


A:


The My Foxtel app lets you browse


Foxtel’s TV guide or search for your


favourite shows using your smartphone or


tablet. When you find something you like,


just select ‘Record’ so the recording will


be scheduled on your iQ box. If you forget


to record, just connect your iQ3 or iQ4 to


the internet and look for your show in the


On Demand section. There are thousands


of episodes already included in your Foxtel


plan. Download the My Foxtel app or go


to foxtel.com.au/myfoxtel


Q:


What is series linking and how


do I take advantage of it?


A:


Series Link is a great way to simplify


recording your favourite complete


seasons at the touch of a button. When


you record a program using either the


My Foxtel app or on screen using your


iQ box, you’ll be prompted to Series Link
