problem solved. I have a PC connected to the main TV so I can
watch foxtel in a browser with Foxtel Go
Are they still showing advertisements in the middle of content
that you're paying for?
yes. they show advertisements in everything except movies, afaik.
I guess if there were no ads the subscription would be much
higher. however, with any show that's live, you can restart it by
pressing the red button so you can skip ads. you can also schedule >>>>>> record or download shows to do the same. find what you want to
save using search including voice search, on actors or movie
titles, or from the menues. btw, it was reported in the media
recently that Netflix is considering inserting ads into their
content.
Netflix is considering offering lower subscriptions to those
willing to accept ads. I don't think Netflix is insane enough to
think they can just inflict ads on their existing subscribers.
how would that work then from their end? would they run two servers
one with ads and one without? btw, the two options foxtel offer are
an IQ4 via satellite or an IQ5. however the IQ5 box has no FTA
channels so an external antenna is needed for them, which is not a
problem for me.
I'm sure they run multiple servers anyway, but I don't see that that
would be needed just to insert advertisements into a stream. It would
depend on a data item in their subscriber database. If it's ads=yes,
then ads get inserted. If it's ads=no, then they don't.
Ok
so the plan will be to hack their database. I'm sure keefy can help with that. :)
Given that that's unlawful anyway, there must be more lucrative ways of exploiting hacking skills. I'd be willing to subsidise someone's Netflix subscription if they can demonstrate that they've hacked into Russia and undermined it's war effort.
