Foxtel on Samsung TVs has been launched in Australia with BigPond customers set to get the streaming service unmetered. Subscribers of other carriers will have to pay for their downloads.

<\/P>
<\/TD><\/TR><\/TBODY><\/TABLE>The Starter Package is $19.50 for eleven channels, with the option of nominating the Olympics for an additional $50 for two weeks of coverage. However, the downside is that the service is delivered in Standard Definition, which is surprising as Foxtel is heavily promoting the upcoming London Olympics as being available in Full HD.

Subscribers can have access of up to 30 channels, with the Get Started package including Fox8, MTV, National Geographic, Nickelodeon, Discovery Channel, Fox Sports News, V, Cartoon Network, Sky News National and Lifestyle new. Customers who purchase a new Samsung Smart TV between the 1st of July and the 2nd of September will receive the get started package free for 3 months.  <\/P>

The service doesn’t require installation of a Foxtel set top box, nor locks users into a contract.
 
Jim Rudder, Foxtel Executive Director of Product said that the “deal is part of a plan to broaden Foxtel subscribers and distribution through other platforms and that the Samsung deal is an opportunity to reach even more people” than their current 1.6 million subscribers.<\/P>

Evan Manolis, Group Manager, AV at Samsung Electronics Australia said “Samsung Smart TV apps are accessed over _ million times each month showing the increasing demand from Australian consumers.”<\/P>

 <\/DIV>

“We are working closely with Foxtel so Australians will be able to view a diverse range of their premium content direct to their compatible Samsung Smart TVs1. We are delighted with the partnership as it will deliver on our promise to our customers to offer more and more choice.”<\/P>

Samsung has warned customers should check with their ISP to discuss how this service may affect their internet usage.
