I understand Foxtel are trying to drive revenue by only offering this service to Sat/Cable subscribers as a value addded service but as someone who cannot get Foxtel connected at home via cable or satellite (renting in apartment building) it only drives an otherwise very willing customer who would like to pay for this service to obtain Foxtel content via other means.
They really should think of ways to get more subscribers to their services by offering multiple ways to access their content.
So can I use someone else’s ‘mobile access’ without affecting their set top access if they are willing to share?
What about a mobile only subscription?
Would be nice if they added ESPN3 to the app. Not really a major problem, just to make it easier
Its coming : mad :

Any chance of Fox Footy being added anytime soon?
The answer from Foxtel,s help page with regards to Android devices. It seems that it is coming but still a bit of a wait.
Why is Foxtel Go not available on Android devices?
Due to all the different makes and models of Android tablets and phones it has taken just a little longer than the iPad and iPhone to make sure we get the experience 100% correct. You should see the first of the Android devices in the next few months.
Thank you foxtel, I love how portable foxtel is on my ipad mini. I take it to the kitchen, into the garden, on holiday. It would be nice if it was on my samsung phone too
