Foxtel Digital

I received my tv guide magazine for foxtel cable tv this morning. The news was announced last week (I posted the link on my linkblog) and this morning I received an announcement from foxtel about the features of digital cable television. There are some exciting new features that interest me so I decided to blog about it.

With foxtel digital, they will have more extra channels for me to watch. Currently, there are around 45 channels on the cable television and they wil provide with around 130 channels in the future.

You can now watch sport from all angles, so when I watch sport I can now choose to watch from different 4 angles. You can now view team player’s profile with a click of a button and you can now listen to different commenatry.

When you watch news channel, you can now choose when and how you want to see your news. You can now choose if you only want to watch the business news, the headlines news, the entertainment news, the sport news, so you don’t need to watch the whole show now. It feels like going to the website of internet news site and choose which news category you like instead of watching the whole news.

Now this is the greatest, most brilliant feature that really got me interested is I can now watch the latest blockbuster movie shown in widescreen with enhanced sound. There is no need for me now to go the the video store to rent DVD or Video. Of course, I have to see the price first, if the price is reasonable compare to the video store.

The best thing about foxtel digital is there is no need for me to buy a digital television. They will provide a new digital set-top unit if I upgrade my account to digital. Foxtel will continue to offer the analogue service, and I think I’ll wait a few weeks or months to upgrade. I need to check the price first (the setup fee, the monthly fee) and if the price is good of course I will upgrade!

Anyway, foxtel’s website got all the information you want about digital foxtel. 100+ channels to watch isn’t that great? It also provide a digital quality picture and CD quality sound!

Please be aware that this is not a foxtel advertisement and I do not work for foxtel, I’m just an excited customer of foxtel who is interested in their latest offering! Any questions about foxtel digital, please visit foxtel website.
