Fetch TV Introduces New $3.99 Monthly ‘Access’ Subscription – Fetch TV today announces a re-positioning of its service offering, further differentiating Australia’s most affordable home entertainment service from Smart TVs, basic streaming devices and higher-priced premium Pay TV offerings.
With the new Fetch Access monthly subscription at just $3.99 per month, new retail customers enjoy integrated access to all features and included content on the Fetch platform, addressing the growing complexity and cost of home entertainment for Australian households.
Addressing Consumer Fatigue with Value and Simplicity
The shift comes as Australian households face increasing pressure on their entertainment budgets. According to the recently-released Deloitte Media & Entertainment Consumer Insights 2025 report, 78% of Australians are now worried about the total cost of their subscriptions, with the average household managing nearly four distinct subscriptions and spending approximately $78 per month.
This cost has increased 25% since last year, with 36% of households now admitting they are overspending relative to their budgets.
Over three-quarters of householders (77%) have also said they would like to search and discover content across all TV/movie streaming services. Fetch’s offering directly solves this pain point, providing a rich user interface that aggregates free-to-air TV, FAST channels, premium subscription content, movies, podcasts and streaming apps with universal voice search and a mobile app.
“We are democratising premium home entertainment so everyone can have the experience without the price tag.”
– said Dominic Arena, CEO of Fetch TV.
“Australian families are juggling more subscriptions than ever with ‘fragmentation fatigue’ being real and the rising cost of providing family entertainment is making it harder to keep up. Our research confirms that while households love content, they are looking for a better way to manage it and save some money along the way. By introducing an access subscription at less than the cost of one coffee per month, and enabling Fetch customers to add no-contract content packs from as little as $7.99 or the entire Ultimate experience with 40+ premium TV channels plus view-on-demand for only $24.99, Fetch has hands-down the best value home entertainment solution in market.”
How to experience the best value home entertainment with Fetch Access
Customers simply need to first purchase their choice of Fetch access device upfront — choosing between the compact Fetch Mini G5 hub (RRP $159) or the powerful Fetch Mighty PVR (RRP $599) — at leading retailers or the Fetch Official Store. Customers then activate their account with a one-off $5 activation fee, and from as low as $3.99/month access a wide-variety of high-value content and features.
Here’s what the Fetch Access subscription unlocks:
• Free-to-Air TV via Internet: Watch over 30 Free-to-Air channels streamed over the internet, even without an antenna.
• Included TV Channels: Enjoy 25+ extra lifestyle, entertainment, and special-interest channels, streamed over the internet.
• Movie Box: Get 30 curated on-demand movies each month, refreshed daily.
• Movie & TV Store: Access to 11,000+ movies and TV shows to buy or rent (additional charges apply).
• Streaming apps: Direct access to popular international and local streaming apps, such as Netflix, Paramount+, Stan, and many more, all in one simple menu (separate subscriptions required).
• Universal Voice Search: Search across channels, movies, shows, and apps with one voice command.

• Mobile App (Fetch Mobi): Search, browse, and watch on the go, and manage recordings on the Mighty – available on both Android and iOS phones and tablets.
Unmatched Value Proposition with No-Contract Add-on Content Packs
Fetch remains the clear market leader in affordability, and unlocks more value as customers opt for more content by combining Fetch Access with an optional content pack add-on.
With Fetch Premium Access, Fetch Access customers who choose to add on a premium content pack (Vibe, Knowledge, Variety, or Kids Pack) at a total cost of $11.98/month will enjoy a Movie Rental Credit each month. This represents a saving of nearly $8.00 a month compared to the à la carte price of $19.97.
To enjoy the best value and widest range of premium entertainment, customers can opt for Fetch Ultimate Access. By adding on the Ultimate Pack for a total cost of $28.98/month, customers get Fetch Access, the Ultimate Pack, and a monthly Movie Rental Credit.
This bundle is approximately 50% lower than comparable pay TV competitor offerings (RRP $78) and gives customers access to content from over 100 TV channels (with view-on-demand) — including ESPN, Discovery, BBC News, BBC Drama, BBC Earth, UKTV, Cartoon Network, and more. With a total bundle value of $43.94, Fetch Ultimate Access offers a substantial saving of close to $15.00 a month. The Ultimate Pack is currently offered at $0 for the first month to all new retail customers.

The new Fetch Access monthly subscription comes into effect for all new Retail customers activated from 1st December 2025, with an introductory promotion waiving the $3.99 monthly subscription until 31st January 2026. New Fetch retail customers also enjoy a one-time bonus of a Movie Rental Credit valued at $7.99 to rent the latest movies including blockbusters, which can save a family of 4 over $100 on a trip to the cinema.
