What is Foxtel?
Foxtel is a pay television company based in Australia that provides cable television, direct broadcast satellite television, and IPTV streaming services. Foxtel's brilliant set-top box, including the new iQ5 streaming set top, voice control, and 24/7 Ultra HD 4K offerings for movies and live sport, provides continuous product innovation.
With Foxtel GO and broadband and home phone entertainment bundles, people can stream Foxtel content on any device, anywhere in Australia, with flexible access.
Foxtel also integrates popular third-party apps, such as Netflix, Prime Video, ABC iView, and SBS OnDemand, into the Foxtel experience.
What’s the difference between Foxtel and Foxtel Now?
Foxtel's set-top-box experience is compatible with either a satellite or cable connection. Foxtel Now is a streaming service that provides access to Foxtel content via an Internet connection. With Foxtel Now, no satellite dish or cable connection is required; all you need is an internet connection and a compatible device.
What’s the difference between Foxtel Now and Foxtel GO?
Foxtel GO is a mobile, tablet, and browser-based streaming app that allows you to watch your favorite shows on the go. Foxtel residential cable and satellite customers (excluding Optus TV feat Foxtel) and Foxtel Now customers have free access to the Foxtel GO app.
Foxtel Now is a separate subscription that gives you access to large-screen devices such as the PlayStation 4, Telstra TV, Sony Android TV, and the Foxtel Now box.
Is Foxtel Now free to watch?
Foxtel Now is available to new customers for a free, no-obligation trial. When you register online, sign up for the free trial. If you decide Foxtel Now isn't for you, simply cancel online through My Account before the trial period ends, and we'll remove your access at the end.
How Much Does Foxtel Now Cost after the Free Trial?
Foxtel Now's Essentials plan starts at $25 per month and includes our Pop and Lifestyle packs, which include some of the world's best dramas from HBO, addictive reality series, and must-see Lifestyle shows.

If you choose all packs, Kids and Docos are included for $104 per month.
How to Download Movies and TV Shows from Foxtel?

Downloaded videos can also be saved as MP4 files, which can be played on any device even if you are not connected to the internet.

- Enter Foxtel's website into the StreamGaGa Homepage.
- Search Foxtel for the video you want to download. When you click on the video, the software will automatically analyze the video's data and begin downloading.
- Choose your preferred language for audio and subtitles before clicking the "Download Now" button.
