Movie buffs rejoice, Foxtel finally has an on-demand service just for you, without the need to buy in to any other Foxtel channel or sign any year-long contracts.
The new service, called Presto, will cost $24.99 a month and will offer films either live or on demand.
Internet on the rise
Presto is Foxtel's second internet-based offering, with the pay-TV provider launching Foxtel Play late July.
Also a month-to-month offering, Foxtel Play however comes in four genre-based packages, with one package to cost $25, two to cost $35, $45 for three and $50 for all four. For the movies package, you'd have to pay an extra $25 on top of having at least one of the genre-pased packages.
"Presto is the next major step in offering customers a product that's just right for them," said Richard Freudenstein, Foxtel Chief Executive.
"Presto will be a great online service for movie lovers with streaming through an intuitive interface and great movies backed by curated collections, recommendations and critics reviews."
The announcement of Presto comes just a month after the launch of EzyFlix.tv, another on demand IPTV service that will be offering films, television shows and UltraViolet storage.
