It’s time to prepare for winter, friends.
We might be time poor but technology has opened up a world of opportunities for us TV watchers.
Gone are the days of getting home after a long day and waiting for your favourite shows to air on the fat back telly. We can now stream anywhere and anytime we want; from the train ride home to a lunch break at work.
One of the most-hyped shows of all time, Game of Thrones, is nearing its end, with the final season to air on Foxtel on Monday, April 15 at 11am AEST, express from the US.
With a whopping seven seasons to catch up on — for both fans of the show who want a quick refresher and late arrivals desperate to join the bandwagon — there are many different ways you can get your fix.
Game of Thrones is exclusive to Foxtel, the only streaming platform that has all seven seasons and will air the final season.
Here is how you can view it.
ON YOUR COMPUTER
To stream Game of Thrones, you’ll want to use Foxtel Now (from $25 per month). It comes as part of the Pop package. Every episode from seasons 1-7 is available in the On Demand library, and you can also watch the new season live through this service. Foxtel Now can be purchased within minutes and used immediately on your own device including laptops, tablets and smartphones.
ON YOUR TV
Prefer to watch, record and replay all the action from your nice big TV at home? You will need to sign up to a Foxtel residential subscription. This means a technician will arrive and set you up with an iQ4 set top box. You will be able to watch the new episodes live with the rest of the world or record them and watch them later. This subscription also gives you access to Foxtel GO, Foxtel’s mobile streaming service. If you want to go for this option, start planning now as it takes up to three business days for the box to arrive.
ON YOUR PHONE OR SMALL DEVICE
If you’re busy out and about but want to binge, or perhaps you want to watch the new season live during a sneaky break at work, Foxtel GO is for you. It’s a feature that automatically comes with a Foxtel residential subscription.
Foxtel packages that include Game of Thrones range from $25 a month to $49 a month, however you can customise packages to suit you.
You don’t want FOMO come April 15. Trust us.
