With the news that Presto is closing down, it may now be more important than ever to keep an eye on Foxtel's own video-on-demand service, Foxtel Anytime, which lets users download or stream selected titles on demand (as long as the title belongs to a channel that's part of their existing Foxtel subscription). Foxtel Anytime is only available with a Foxtel subscription, and the programming shown below are only available if they are part of your channel package.
Game of Thrones fans can now stream every single episode of the hit show on Foxtel Anytime, reliving all those horrible weddings, all those horrible battles and pretty much everything else that will scar you for life. Foxtel's HBO connections are again on show this month, with all available episodes of Girls, Veep, The Jinx, True Detective, The Newsroom, Six Feet Under and True Blood being made available for on-demand.
There's also Australian content in the form of 'The Great Australian Bake Off', and British content in the form of 'Capital' and 'Undercover'.
For movies, as usual, there's a huge list of new additions of contemporary classics such as '(500) Days of Summer' (not a love story, but a story about love), quirky must-sees such as 'In Bruges', as well as new releases like 'Daddy’s Home', 'Joy' and 'The Good Dinosaur'.
Here's are the highlights for October (programs only available if they’re in your Foxtel subscription pack):
