1. About this page
This page has replaced the Free-to-air (FTA) Postcode Tool. It includes information about which FTA channels are available in a customer’s area.
Depending on the customer’s set top box and connection, refer to the relevant section on this page (using the Contents list above) to check which FTA channels are available. FTA channels available in capital cities can vary to other parts of the state, so ensure you refer to the appropriate section.
Note: While we aim to provide access to FTA where possible, Foxtel does not control the content, coverage or number of channels offered in different regions and cannot guarantee availability. For more information about which channels are broadcast in the customer’s area, refer them to the Australian government website mySwitch.
