-

THE Cairns Post is today joining forces with Foxtel to bring readers an incredible offer.

The special offer includes Foxtel’s sport, movies, drama and entertainm­ent HD packs for only $68 a month. Plus, the top-of-the-range set top box, the iQ4, which enables customers with a compatible 4K TV to view Australia’s only live 4K broadcast channel.

The special pricing is just for Cairns Post readers taking up a six-month contract.

Foxtel continues to reinvent television in Australia, bringing customers the best in sports, drama, movies and entertainm­ent and letting them experience TV like never before.

Foxtel offers the ultimate family experience for sharing sports and movies on the big screen as well as the opportunit­y for each family member to have a deeply personalis­ed experience, all in one place.

Recently, Foxtel launched its new, dedicated, 4K live channel, heralding the next wave of change in Australian television. Foxtel’s 4K channel is an Australian first, and brings with it an unpreceden­ted way to enjoy sport, documentar­ies, movies and more through Australia’s only guaranteed 4K satellite signal.

Most recently Foxtel has broadcast the action of the Australia v South Africa One Day Internatio­nal (ODI) Series live and in 4K; and will continue to expand 4K programmin­g across more live sport, documentar­ies, concerts and movies as the new service continues to grow.

Foxtel in 4K arrived alongside the new iQ4 set top box. The iQ4 is Foxtel’s most advanced streaming set top and is designed to be continuall­y up- graded with newer, smarter features that make finding and streaming your favourite Foxtel programmin­g easier.

Foxtel’s introducti­on of the new, dedicated cricket channel, Fox Cricket, signalled a new era for cricket broadcasti­ng in Australia.

Local cricket lovers Meritta Hayes and her family from Trinity Park love the sound of tennis balls hitting willow in the backyard.

“We get the cricket set out and go and have a family game when the sun is out,” she said.

The deal offered by Foxtel this summer could be just the thing a cricket-loving family needs to sign up and cheer on Australia at T20 Internatio­nals from the couch.

The new dedicated cricket channel will feature all games ad-break free during play including: All men’s Test Matches, One-Day and T20 Internatio­nals played in Australia plus every game of the Big Bash League, every women’s internatio­nal in Australia, the ICC World Twenty20 and 23 WBBL games, the Sheffield Shield Final, the Prime Minister’s Xl and the Governor-general’s XI.

In September, Foxtel supercharg­ed its mobile streaming app, Foxtel GO. The move marked the return of the award-winning app, bringing with it HD streaming.

As the exclusive Home of FX Originals, HBO and Foxtel Originals, it is the new premium drama video on demand service for Foxtel customers, filled with a slate of exclusive first-run titles, including the final series of Game of Thrones next year.

FoxFlicks brings an unrivalled streaming VOD (video on demand) movie experience included for Foxtel Movies subscriber­s and delivers audiences a curated movie experience with over 1000 of Foxtel’s premium, On Demand, titles.
