Foxtel has revamped its movie service with FoxFlicks for Foxtel Movies subscribers.

Found via the On Demand menu on the iQ3 and iQ4 FoxFlicks has over 1000 on demand titles from all six major Hollywood studios, with movie posters, trailers, clever recommendations and easy navigation.

Films can be downloaded via the internet at no extra cost (other than their own data allowance) to Foxtel Movies Subscribers.

Patrick Delany, Foxtel CEO said, “A new movie every day of the year, and over 1000 movies to stream on demand at any time for our customers – this is Foxtel like never before. We are revolutionising how we present movies and giving Foxtel viewers an easy, simple way to stream a huge line-up of movies when they want, and how they want, all part of the Movies package.

“FoxFlicks is the most advanced movie destination in Australia and is part of Foxtel’s ongoing commitment and vision as Australia’s premium content streaming destination. This service enhances the way we deliver our expertly curated movie selection. The depth of programming combined with our first run deals with the major studios, ensures FoxFlicks delivers our viewers with unrivalled premium movies in a personalised and customised way.”

Easily accessible and available to internet connected iQ3 and iQ4 boxes, FoxFlicks brings together premiere Hollywood blockbusters and all-time favourites with non-stop choice and a new movie added every day.

FoxFlicks delivers a unique content strategy that simplifies the selection process with mood-based recommendations and specialised movie playlists, providing an intuitive way to help navigate the movie watching experience.

Available now via the FoxFlicks menu are brand new content playlists including Just Landed for the newest titles on demand, OD on Action for the biggest action blockbusters of all time, something for everyone with Family Flicks, What Margaret Likes with picks from Margaret Pomeranz, the fun stuff with So Bad it’s Good, the ultimate in comedy with LMAO! plus You Had Me at Hello for all the romantics who will never forget that iconic Jerry McGuire line.

FoxFlicks highlights Foxtel’s incredible movie offering. The FoxFlicks clever recommendation engine will link to the Foxtel Store* allowing access to thousands of new release and catalogue titles giving customers more movies and more choice than ever before.

This is in addition to the ten linear Foxtel Movies channels that deliver content 24 hours a day across Premiere, Action, Comedy, Romance, Disney, Family, Masterpiece, Greats and Thriller, plus pop up movie channels and an extensive catalogue of titles available to search and watch instantly via set top boxes and devices.

FoxFlicks is available to Foxtel Movies and Foxtel Platinum HD subscribers with internet connected iQ3 and iQ4 boxes. All On Demand movie titles are now in a brand new place for an ad-free, download equipped, streaming experience on FoxFlicks.

Foxtel customers can now choose their own movie adventure with FoxFlicks!

  1. It seems like they have just renamed the existing “On Demand” service & added more tailored recommendations. Is that the only change? I see a future where Foxtel combines On Demand (now Fox flicks) with the Foxtel Store. It makes no sense that I can pay for a movie on the store, but I need a movies subscription to download from fox flicks. Surely they can make more $$$ by opening up fox flicks to everyone and making it all pay per view.

  2. This sounds like a promo for Foxtels 4K satellite service, I suspect you will need to be a dedicated movie buff to get full value satisfaction as the choice of movies are also available elsewhere and likely at a cheaper cost albeit not in 4K. Foxtel will want a positive consumer response for this business initiative but you have to say Foxtel have left their move to 4K and streaming rather late as the competition have a head start.

  3. Great idea Foxtel. Now all I have to do is upgrade to IQ4 (or 3 if thats too expensive). Which means of course making a concerted effort to watch all the stuff on my current machine b4 I have to return it.

    1. I’ve had the new IQ4 box for about a week. Installed by a tech. Not a single problem so far, it works a treat and so much better than the 8 year Mystar HD box I had. On demand streaming in HD is brilliant. Tons of HD movies and TV shows. Foxtel says there is only one box (IQ4) for sale now, so there is no going backwards with the tech. No I don’t work for Foxtel. But would be lost for live tv without them as FTA reception where I live is pathetic.
