    Classic Foxtel. They create the thickness Android streaming box on the market and then they call it the puck.

    The box has a 24 month warranty



    Another thing from the FAQ worth mentioning: BEWARE where going to PUCK you

    "Foxtel may choose to prevent installation of particular apps, if they are deemed to be in conflict with Foxtel’s position on piracy or impact the safety and privacy of Foxtel Now box users."

    So the box looks at what apps you have installed and reports that information back to Foxtel? Surely that is against the Android terms of use.

    From whirlpool kodi work around

    In update to my earlier post – so I have been playing around a bit. Managed to rebadge the Kodi package name and install Kodi 17.6 (obviously it will not autoupdate through playstore). I can't distribute / release the file as that would be against Kodi rules, but I will make a how-to if people want (it's not that hard)

    APK –

    Use TV App Repo (downloadable from Github or from Play Store) to create an Leanback Launcher icon.

    Malwarebytes doesn't like that site and avg detects something going on and protects and the link expires soon
    I get a failed to parse error when installing on my android boxes

    Read it works perfectly on MiBox3

    Get 2 months free (all Foxtel Now channels open) if you buy the Foxtel Now box from this website



    for new and existing customers

    (just keep in mind it does not have Netflix or 9Now or SBS apps ATM)


    Edit: looks like the above Link just crashed, maybe try latter or click on a link to buy the new Foxtel Now box in your Foxtel Now Account settings)
