  1. I have Optus vision, and have both Ovation and STVDIO (I think they’re in the “entertainment” package – I have basic plus sport plus entertainment) – will I be getting a refund of $3.20 for this month? 😉

    Glad I have STVDIO, as there’s a doco about Gary Numan coming up this week. 😀 Showing here before the U.K.! As someone said, every now and then…

  2. Why o why is this channel accessable to all foxtel subscribers. I didnt watch it that much but sometimes they have some great stuff on – I certainly wont be paying extra.
    Stop being greedy Foxtel!

    1. Foxtel dumped Ovation for STVDIO about a year ago, which is part of the tier packages. Ovation has been going it alone ever since, with considerable subscriber difficulty I believe, hence looking to lure new subscribers with a free month.

  3. Well Ovation musnt be going to well as it was free to Austar subscribers in November last year. I dont see why they dont just add it to one of the packages instead of having it as an add-on with crap all subscribers and loosing more and more money by offering it for free.
