Foxtel is trying to move the service to new technologies such as streaming video on demand SVOD.
However, there is stiff competition in this market from other players such as Netflix, Disney, Amazon, Optus and Fetch. Foxtel no longer has a monopoly and is finding it difficult to operate in a more competitive market. Such services are also struggling in North America and Europe. With access to modern technologies, the distribution of content via broadcasted pay-TV has become inefficient and very costly. All have different prices so very few people have a good understanding of what to choose from Foxtel.
Others have not provided their services to multi-dwelling complexes for a number of years and it does not appear that they will be providing their service in the near future. In order to have Foxtel connected, permission from the body corporate will need to be obtained prior to undertaking the connection. An individual connection is normally preferred because the cost of installation is only borne by those owners wishing to subscribe to the service.
A group connection can be arranged, whereby one dish or a number of dishes are fitted in various locations throughout the scheme whereby each owner simply connects to the common dish located nearest their property. Here the body corporate would fund the installation of the dishes, however this would need to be approved by the body corporate at a general meeting via a Special Resolution and due to the costs involved a Special Levy may be required to fund the installation.
Foxtel does not provide individual connections to owners who reside in unit complexes, as such the only connection available is via a group connection to the building.
Unfortunately, if your strata scheme contains more than 12 units or is more than 3 storeys high, Foxtel will charge your body corporate to provide the infrastructure and to facilitate their service.
This can only be approved via the body corporate via a general meeting, where a Special Resolution is required. Again, usually due to the costs involved a Special Levy will need to be raised to fund the works.
The cost of the connection will vary widely depending on the complexity of the connection to your building. With Foxtel abandoning its cable infrastructure and moving its customers to the satellite network many strata residents will have to make the decision to upgrade to satellite infrastructure or abandon the pay-tv service altogether.
