Well you are really being taken to the cleaners. I was just looking at what I dont miss about Australia and well one of them is TV. Its not just bad its a joke. In the USA I get 27 HD channels for 29.99 a month. To ad more of an insult there are many many free HD channels OTA and they actually transmit HD resolution not some makeshift format to save cost. My advice tell FOXTEL to shove it. Its not the early 1990s when HD was a new thing. Its almost obsolete. Not only are Aussies paying completely ridiculous prices for TVs but the programming has been hindered by Mr Murdoch since the first announcement of HD by the government. He alone managed to screw the public from ever getting multichannel DTV OTA by making the government mandate HD. You are all losers if you even bother to pay$130 a month for Youtube quality programming. Buy a US bluray player for $199 on amazon and buy the films from Amazon.com .... Wake up .. $100s of dollars a month for rerun TV that is the worst I have ever seen in the planet and WOW 4 HD rerun channels ... There is a real reason that some of us that were born there dont live there. Yippee rip off Australia. If you dont buy it they will have to improve it.

Have a look at what your not getting. www.directtv.com www.comcast.com
