Foxtel have unveiled an exciting new offering in Foxtel Now, an evolution of their Foxtel Play service.
Foxtel Now features low-priced, flexible bundles coupled with the addition of HD streaming on select devices and with the ability to watch via the big screen via Google Chromecast.
The biggest benefit? That subscribers to Foxtel Now will be able to sign up and enjoy the highly anticipated seventh season of Game Of Thrones, in HD, for $15 a month.
“We believe everyone deserves to experience the world’s best entertainment,” Foxtel CEO Peter Tonagh said at the unveiling last night in Sydney. “We’ve taken some big steps to diversify our service to offer the biggest, most affordable, range of options for everyone.
“From tomorrow, all Australians can watch what they want, when they want and where they want at a price that suits them best, from low-price, no-commitment, HD streaming up to a state-of the art viewing experience via our cable and satellite iQ3 set top box,” Peter said.
