The link to the petition against advertising on Foxtel is blacklisted for some reason. I have no idea how to deal with such a problem but it should at the very least be discussed here and reference to it made in the article. The petition can be found here: http :// www. petitiononline. com/ ls1203/ petition. html Nick carson (talk) 04:05, 13 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
You get extra channels on cable in some areas (like you get FTA on cable in Perth but not satellite), but it costs the same no matter what, I think. - Mark11:08, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
This article needs some serious cleanup. Especially in the Available Models section, there are grammar, spelling errors scattered. Also, there needs to be more cituations. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mackatacka123 (talk • contribs) 05:16, 4 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I think this fails the neutral point of view criteria. It looks more like a company press release. Consider the portion of the article on Foxtel Magazine which states:
"Foxtel's magazine, simply titled Foxtel, is the television listing magazine for Foxtel subscribers. It offers daily listings for most of the 130 channels offered on the platform, and is the only medium that subscribers can find information and recommendations on programming for the entire month."
It is the only such listing because all other television programme guides in Australia are weekly.
Mobile Foxtel is similarly described as:
"Launched in late 2006 to coincide with Telstra's NextG 3G Mobile phone network, Mobile Foxtel (previously Foxtel By Mobile) offers 33 standard channels of programming for a small subscription fee, optimised for mobile devices" (emphasis addeed).
And consider this:
"On 20 May 2010, Foxtel and Microsoft announced a new partnership offering Australians a brand new way of receiving Foxtel – over the internet and direct to television sets through Xbox 360’s online service Xbox LIVE" (emphasis added again). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wochee (talk • contribs) 15:50, 13 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
There used to be a list of channels available on Wikipedia showing Foxtel's channels, but due to Wikipedia's policies, it's since been removed. As I think this information is relevant to readers, I've posted a link to a Wiki with a listing of Foxtel's channels; however, the list could do with some updating, if anyone here is able to contribute.
