So im looking at ending foxtel, its just really hard to justify the price at the moment, I was hoping some people in here could help with alternatives.

At the moment im thinking apple tv+netflix+stan+a really good PVR recorder. One other thing ive been reading about is Fetch TV.

The main things I watch are history docos, and shows like game of thrones, black sails and ofc sport(A-league)

SBS has some history stuff, FTA has most sport although all A-league games will be a big loss and ABC news for BBC world news.

Are there any boxes that i can get like foxtel, where i can set reminders/record like foxtel?

Thanks.

So we rang up to cancel Foxtel today, they offered to lower the price down from $117 to $53+ an IQ3 box+installation. So we've accepted that for now.

If you're looking for a first time pay tv service or you can't get the price lowered then I'd go with Fetch TV for sure.

You buy the set top box for $400, which has a 1$ dollar activation fee, this basically turns it into an Apple TV which allows you to buy/rent movies and buy TV shows. It gives access to Netflix, Stan(separate subscriptions) and Youtube. You can then record all FTA channels as well as live rewind/pause etc. Plus it gives you access to Catch Up TV.

Then for a further $15 per month you get 25 other channels. There's also an option for BEIN Sports.
