Got a call from a Foxtel marketer this arvo. I'm in an Austar area and I said I wasn't interested in Austar and he stated that I can NOW receive Foxtel (after 10 years of previous attempts on my behalf) I said I don't want any of those rubbish Mystar boxes (flame suit on) and he said that the boxes are all badged with Foxtel now. Does this mean I'll be getting a rebadged Mystar box if I decide to take up his offer? He's calling me back tomorrow at 2pm to further discuss. (Satellite dish customer I would be).

As far as I know there is no new box available and you may well end up with a mys**** even the hd boxes are flakey.I would wait
till there is a new box announced.

I have no direct knowledge, however I'd be very surprised if it wasn't a rebadged mystar box (with a FW update on the logo).

I'll wait...a little longer won't kill me.

Thx guys.

The Foxtel sellers in the local shopping centre are advertising the Mystar boxes.  When I asked the guy he said that they are still issuing the old Austar boxes until further notice.

Hopefully until they run out!

May have something to do with licensing agreements with irdeto - not sure.

Will be a lot of people complaining when they get foxtel boxes that while being more reliable, don't have a terrestrial tuner.
