Binge is an Australian streaming TV service owned by Streamotion, a News Corp subsidiary, with on-demand movies, TV shows and live TV channels. It offers curated content, including top trending series and movies, from Foxtel's content rights, and is not technically a Foxtel product itself.
Binge has three plans: Basic ($10) with HD on 1 device, Standard ($19) with HD on 2 devices, and Premium ($22) with HD on 4 devices. All plans include 10,000+ hours of content and no lock-in contract. Binge offers a 7-day free trial on all plans and a 3-month free trial with select Telstra NBN plans.
Binge offers over 10,000 hours of curated TV shows and movies from HBO, BBC, Paramount and more. Popular shows include Game of Thrones, Euphoria, The White Lotus, The Last of Us and Friends, alongside more than 800 movies across all genres. It also features 17 live Foxtel TV channels, including BBC First, Fox Crime and Cartoon Network.
No, Binge currently does not support offline downloads or offline viewing. This is a highly anticipated feature the developers plan to introduce in the future.
Binge can be streamed on PC, Mac, Apple and Android mobile devices, Chromecast, Apple TV, Android TV, Samsung and Hisense smart TVs, Telstra TV, PlayStation and more. Smart TV apps are available for LG, Samsung (2017+) and Hisense TVs; for other TVs, devices such as Chromecast or Apple TV can be used.
It means you have exceeded the maximum number of simultaneous streams allowed by your plan (up to 4 devices on Premium). To use another device, log out on one of the active devices.
Foxtel Now is a premium pay-TV service starting at $35 a month with customisable bundles (Sports, Movies, Drama, Kids) and exclusive Foxtel Originals, best for live sport and premium movies. Binge is a newer, budget-friendly option from $10 a month focused on trending TV series and movies plus live channels, without sports. If Binge is not for you, Stan is a good alternative for local Australian content.
