Foxtel is slashing the monthly subscription fee for its struggling movies streaming service Presto as a defensive move against the looming launches of Nine Entertainment Co's StreamCo and Netflix.
Presto, Australia’s premium entertainment streaming service, today stepped up to the big screen as it unveiled that it is now up and running on Google Chromecast as well as on selected Android tablets.
Google Chromecast went on sale today, enabling buyers to watch online content on big screen TVs, but there's a hitch.
Netflix is preparing to launch its low-cost, "all you can eat" streaming service in Australia and New Zealand in the first quarter of 2015, according to executives at the US studios.
Australian streaming company, Quickflix, welcomed the news today that Foxtel has finally launched Presto, confident that it remains a better quality and better value proposition for movie and TV lovers than the new arrival.
Foxtel has promoted Shaun James to director of Presto, the subscription Video-on-Demand service that launches on Thursday.
Per capita Australians are buying and renting more film and TV content online than any other country except the US, according to a new study.
Foxtel's Subscription Video-on-Demand service dubbed Presto will launch on March 13, three months behind schedule and at a lower price than originally announced.
