Austar is currently in negotiations with Premier Media Group over plans to bring SPEED to viewers in Regional Australia.
It follows the motoring channel’s launch on Foxtel on November 1st but not on Austar.
Irate subscribers have been venting their anger at Austar’s own Facebook page.
A spokesperson from Austar told TV Tonight. “I know it’s deeply frustrating for customers not to have a definitive answer, but we hope to have one one way or the other soon.”
Meanwhile some viewers have also noted bugs with the MyStar box.
“There are a range of software updates sent down the pipes on a very regular basis – in fact the next one is due to drop on Thursday,” sais the Spokesperson. “These give new functionality, such as EPG updates, new technology like On Demand, and also provide fixes for any issues that arise as a result of this new technology.
“Suffice to say if there are customers who are experiencing issues they are likely to see an improvement from Thursday.”

I solved the problem of lack of motorsport on Austar.Just cancelled and taken up Foxtel.We were really getting sick of all the bloody ads that we are Paying for and the endless repeats and repeats and repeats (bloody annoying ,isn’t it?)and cross promotions.They transfer a show to another channel and call it a “premier”.We hate being treated like morons.
i could not beleive i could not watch a ozzi icon on pay (yes) Pay not free tv
f— iv never missed it WSB i will turn off austar and with the money i will save i will go to Phillip Island instead so stick that
I tried in vain to find WSBK…which has always been available to see that Speed TV is where it is…..on Foxtel not Austar…..why are they taking my money!!!!! I want motorsport, I pay for sport..show me sport. Very unhappy…..will cancel the whole subscription.
Fantastic to find out on the day I wanted to watch WSBK that I’m paying for a service that cannot give me what I want. Thankyou Austar! Donations to your krapovision will be stopped tomorrow.
