It’s official: Foxtel has announced a partnership with US streaming giant Netflix that will see the latter service’s content fully integrated into Foxtel’s library by way of a new interface for iQ customers.
As reported by Gizmodo, the new interface will begin rolling out to iQ4 boxes between now and August, with a rollout for [iQ3](‘http://feeds2.feedburner.com/techradar/Foxtel iQ3 review Foxtel iQ3 By Nick Broughall March 22, 2015 NOT YET RATED Foxtel has officially launched it’s third PVR, which aims to seamlessly blend broadcast and IP based television.’) customers expected to begin later in the year.

Foxtel’s revised iQ bundles (which start at $49 per month on a 12-month plan, all the way to $109 per month) will now offer 6 months of free Netflix, though existing Foxtel customers will need to agree to a new 12-month contract in order to take advantage.
After this initial 6-month period is over, users will have to pay Netflix’s full subscription price ($13.99 per month for HD and $17.99 per month for 4K) to keep the functionality – no discounted bundles here, unfortunately.
Along with the updated interface, Foxtel also announced a brand new remote that sports a dedicated Netflix button on it, allowing users to jump straight to the service’s content with a single tap – you can check out the remote below.

Foxtel customers who’ve been with the pay TV service for eight years or more are eligible to receive the remote (valued at $49) for free, while users who’ve been with the provider for at least three years will be able to pick it up for the discounted price of $29.
