    ought to ask for rebate as I pay for them.
    There was a Footie flyer, not sure about one for the Movie Channels.

    Could be they need the customers?

    Free to subscriber is not exactly Free To Air. You got me all excited for nothing.
    Think I will have take a BEX and have a lay down.

    Are Starpics part of the Movie Network now? They just maybe......

    For $37.95 Select TV has the Movie Network as part of their standard package! With the rumour of Starpics and FMC (Family Movie Channel) coming on board very shortly it will be even better value!
    Maybe that's why the big boys have this free trial?

    You reckon Select will provide them for free ? I am tipping no. I think they will either charge directly for them or get you via some plan restructure.

    Good to see they are looking after existing customers - as Austar's latest is 6 months free Movie Channels OR Sports channels for NEW subscribers (minimum 12 month contract).

    Don't have a subscription to any pay TV service (finance Manager has said a firm NO) With the amount of satelitte dishes on roof's in our area, be interested to see how many more new subscribers get onboard.

    I reckon Leroy's comment is right on the money

    The rumour I heard was no price increase. With the card only sub you're not locked into a contract so that's a nice option to have.
