Get Everything Foxtel Has to Offer with the Platinum Plus Bundle

Updated 1st July 2020

Foxtel’s Platinum Plus Bundle is one of the most comprehensive entertainment packages you could hope to find. Boasting a range of great channels across virtually every genre imaginable and available in High Definition, this pack will take your viewing experience to the next level.

What do I get in the Foxtel Platinum Plus Bundle?

Everything Foxtel has to offer can be found in the Platinum Plus pack, meaning the range of genres available is pretty diverse. The entirety of the Foxtel Plus base pack is included, giving you everything from comedy to lifestyle to fashion. Then there are the drama channels, which give you the likes of Perry Mason, Wentworth, and Westworld, and the movies, from the latest releases to the old classics.

And that’s far from all. The range of sport available is unmatched by any other service in the country with 50 plus unique sporting codes available live and on-demand, and you’ll get a bunch of world-class documentary channels for those who prefer non-fiction. And finally, there are the Kids channels, which boast more than enough to keep the little ones entertained for as long as you need.

What Channels are in the Platinum Plus Bundle?

Considering it includes literally all of Foxtel, it’s unsurprising that there’s plenty of channels available in this package. There are dozens of entertainment channels, including the likes of FOX8, FOXH!TS, and BBC UKTV, and several drama networks – including BBC First and Fox Showcase – boasting some of the best TV from around the globe. Meanwhile, Movies Hits, Movies Greats, Movies Premiere and much more will give you your movie fix.

The best in sports can be found on the seven FOX Sports channels, as well as ESPN and beIN Sports, while National Geographic, Animal Planet and History will keep the more curious among you satisfied. And if you need to keep the kids entertained, the likes of Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon have you covered.

Platinum Plus also includes a full Netflix subscription (perfect for the Netflix app that’s just been added to the iQ4 set top box) and free multiroom casting.

There’s plenty to keep lovers of all genres happy in the Platinum Plus bundle, but we’ve listed some of your best options across various genres below:

How much does the Platinum Plus Bundle Cost?

As the most comprehensive package, the Platinum pack obviously comes at a price, but you can pay significantly less than if you bundled the cost of each pack individually. It’s all typically available for $139/month with the iQ4 set-top box ($150) and installation ($100) fees waived if you sign up for 12 months, but if you’re lucky you might be able to sign up during an offer period for a significant reduction (it’s currently priced at only $109). No lock-in contract plans are also available for those who prefer flexible terms, however, discounts (if there were any) don’t apply and setup costs aren’t waived.

A much better alternative is to sign up through Foxtel From Telstra, which gives you the exact same Foxtel service, just billed and managed by Telstra (it can go onto your regular Telstra bill if you like). They have a special offer for new customers that will give you the Platinum Plus bundle for only $99 a month for a full year – a saving of $40 each and every month.

If the idea of paying even that much for TV entertainment sounds like a bit too much of a budget-stretcher, though, don’t worry – thanks to the rapid growth of streaming TV in this country, there are plenty of low-cost options for getting your sports and entertainment fix.

Watching Foxtel in 4K

Recently, the Foxtel viewing experience got even better with the addition of two 4K channels. 4K, or Ultra HD, uses four times as many pixels as High Definition and 20 times as many as Standard Definition to create a picture like you’ve never seen before. If you have an iQ4 box and a 4K compatible TV, head to Fox Sports Ultra HD to watch a range of great sports, or Movies Ultra HD for some of the world’s biggest movies in Ultra High Definition.

How to sign up

Accessing the Foxtel Platinum Plus Bundle is easy. Simply give the friendly Foxtel From Telstra sales team a call at 13 22 00. Once you’ve done that, you’ll be tuning into your favourite sports and shows before you know it.
