    It's especially disappointing for the people that have purchased their own satellite receivers. Is Foxtel going to give us a discount for using our own equipment now?

    I received an email from the person I deal with at Select and the news is as much a surprise to him also.

    Aarrh well Cobber, you're learning the hard way.
    To be honest, I was flabbergasted when you posted that you had ordered more cards after what "sanity" posted.
    I do hope that you do not end up out of pocket.
    May I suggest that you change your Signature?

    As already mentioned there was nothing to indicate they were going to drop their english package.

    as a long time customer of selectv I would have thought that there would have been some communication by now.

    If I have to change to foxtel then I don't think that I would get a good deal. If foxtel agrees then I want to pick my channels to the equivalent I have at selectv for the same price of $29.99. After that then they can go jump

    My belief is that both Foxtel & Austar will offer free realignment of your dish..... and that's about all.

    No special deals, no card-only subs.

    Take it or leave it.

    Verry poor nobody has been contacted yet.

    Apart from those of us in forums and maybe a small percentage who read the papers.... I bet the majority of selectv customers have absolutely no idea yet that they are about to lose their service.

    to be really honest it really sucks, the people who diligently kept paying for selectv's service and this is how they are treated

    don't think it is good PR

    thats not all, how about the option they offered so people could pay for a years subscription in advance, I sold a couple but hopefully they now are not customers and have gone else where...
    When I explained to the guy what avatar I wanted, that wasn't what I meant!

    I cannot do aught but agree. I'm distraught that after so many years supporting them, that I'm treated as their goods and chattels to do with as they deem fit without any recourse.

    This isnt unlike that Ethnic TV company that 'collapsed' a few years ago and left many customers wth owned equipment and pre-paid accounts.
    While I doubt the owner of SelecTV hasnt done this just on a whim, it does cast a cloud over the whole industry and I think it would make many very cautious about dealing with any company no matter what they selling who offer long term pre-payment arrangements.
    While it might save you $50 a year by pre-paying, if they cease operating you could loose several Hundred.
    I stand unequivicably behind everything I say , I just dont ever remember saying it !!
