Google Chromecast has now become the most popular way to watch the streaming Fotel movie service. with more than 20 percent of views since July.

A one month free Presto subscription is available to any customer who purchased a Chromecast device in Australia since its 28 May launch.

Shaun James, Director Presto & VOD, said, “Since launching Presto on Chromecast, we’ve had loads of great feedback from people enjoying Presto on the big screen, and now, with our new, simplified pricing, we’re seeing an overwhelmingly enthusiastic response from new subscribers. We’re thrilled to be offering a free one month Presto subscription to customers who purchased a Chromecast device since its Australian launch, but wanted to remind them that this great offer ends soon.”

Last week dropped its subscription rate to $9.99 a month, down $10, in the competitive content streaming market.

The free trial ends on August 31st.

  1. This is one of those dodgy “trials” where you have to put your credit card number in, and then they start charging you at the end of the first month.

    Less of a trial and more of a sign people up by stealth.

  2. There’s still no Aus FTA services on this, right?
    Hurry up already! Especially the commercial networks – I’m presuming they hate ad revenue?
