What's included in my Foxtel Now free trial?
When you sign up to Foxtel Now, you build your subscription by selecting a number of channel packs. Each pack gives you access to specific TV channels (and the on-demand content associated with them), so you can choose based on your preferences.
Users start by selecting the entry package, the base Essentials pack, then can add premium packs into the mix, like Drama, Sport and Movies. You can even decide to subscribe to all packs. Keep in mind that the more packs you add, the more expensive your subscription will be once the trial is over.
Regardless of the number of packs you choose, the free trial will enable you to access them all. In other words, you'll have access to everything Foxtel Now has to offer for the first 10 days. Once the trial is over, you'll only be able to watch content from the packs you selected when setting up your subscription.
There will be a lot of titles facing you when you start, so to help kick off your viewing experience, Finder has a guide to the best TV shows on Foxtel Now as well as its best movies.

Sky News is included in Foxtel’s Entertainment Pack which means you cannot get it as a stand alone channel. When you subscribe to Foxtel, you must always subscribe to the Entertainment Pack however, you can add or remove other channel packs month to month by calling them.

You may reconnect your Foxtel Now Service at any time via your Foxtel Now Account on the Foxtel Website however, please note that you may no longer be eligible for any trial or discounts you were receiving previously.
I signed up for this product, it will not work on my PC or Tablet.
As I provided my credit card details I then attempted to cancel the service. When I went into my account I was directed to Telstra as my foxtel service is through Telstra. I rang Telstra, they cannot access the details to cancel the service. As I have provided Foxtel with my credit card details is looks like they will bill my credit card direct, not through Telstra. This is a catch 22, I cannot cancel the service through Foxtel and I am a
Telstra customer, and I cannot cancel through Telstra as they will not be billing me. This is a complete waste of time, and as it stands currently I will not be able to cancel a service which will not work. Surely this should not be this difficult.
To cancel your Foxtel package, simply log in to your account here and click the deactivate button. You will then be transferred to a “Deactivate Service” page. Fill in the form on that page and click the orange deactivate service button. Your account will be cancelled when your current billing cycle is over.
Will foxtel Go be available on more android devices, or is there anyway I am able to get it to work on devices where it says it is not compatible? It is available on my Samsung S5 but it is not compatible with my Viewsonic VSD220 Tablet running Android Version 4.04.
Only selected Android devices are currently compatible with Foxtel Go. I’d recommend checking in with the Foxtel community and making recommendations via its thread on compatible devices.

Important information about this website
finder.com.au is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We are committed to our readers and stands by our editorial principles
We try to take an open and transparent approach and provide a broad-based comparison service. However, you should be aware that while we are an independently owned service, our comparison service does not include all providers or all products available in the market.
Some product issuers may provide products or offer services through multiple brands, associated companies or different labeling arrangements. This can make it difficult for consumers to compare alternatives or identify the companies behind the products. However, we aim to provide information to enable consumers to understand these issues.
We make money by featuring products on our site. Compensation received from the providers featured on our site can influence which products we write about as well as where and how products appear on our page, but the order or placement of these products does not influence our assessment or opinions of them, nor is it an endorsement or recommendation for them.
Products marked as 'Top Pick', 'Promoted' or 'Advertisement' are prominently displayed either as a result of a commercial advertising arrangement or to highlight a particular product, provider or feature. Finder may receive remuneration from the Provider if you click on the related link, purchase or enquire about the product. Finder's decision to show a 'promoted' product is neither a recommendation that the product is appropriate for you nor an indication that the product is the best in its category. We encourage you to use the tools and information we provide to compare your options.
Where our site links to particular products or displays 'Go to site' buttons, we may receive a commission, referral fee or payment when you click on those buttons or apply for a product. You can learn more about how we make money.
When products are grouped in a table or list, the order in which they are initially sorted may be influenced by a range of factors including price, fees and discounts; commercial partnerships; product features; and brand popularity. We provide tools so you can sort and filter these lists to highlight features that matter to you.
Please note that the information published on our site should not be construed as personal advice and does not consider your personal needs and circumstances. While our site will provide you with factual information and general advice to help you make better decisions, it isn't a substitute for professional advice. You should consider whether the products or services featured on our site are appropriate for your needs. If you're unsure about anything, seek professional advice before you apply for any product or commit to any plan and read any disclosure documents (such as any Target Market Determination (TMD) and/or Product Disclosure Statement (PDS)) issued by the provider before making a decision.
Providing or obtaining an estimated insurance quote through us does not guarantee you can get the insurance. Acceptance by insurance companies is based on things like occupation, health and lifestyle. By providing you with the ability to apply for a credit card or loan, we are not guaranteeing that your application will be approved. Your application for credit products is subject to the Provider's terms and conditions as well as their application and lending criteria.
